Going, Going, Gone  by Lindelea 8 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 12 on 1/20/2011
Perhaps they ought to have allowed him to continue his "Shire beautification project"? Heh!

Nienor NinielReviewed Chapter: 12 on 8/30/2006
A great idea, and wonderfully executed!

I especially like how the hobbits are still able to make jokes, even though Frodo's condition must really distress them. And of course it's also good that it ends well!

Author Reply: Ah, yes, it must end well, or it's probably not one of mine. *g*

And light talk on heavy subjects, it's rather hard to pull off, but JRRT set the standard, and we must do what we can to keep it up.

Oh my gosh, that last chapter gave me quite a scare for a moment! This was a very good, unique story. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry half the time, but i think you pulled off the angst/comedy thing very well!
God bless,
Elanor

Author Reply: Thank you, Elanor, for taking time to comment!

Angst/comedy is a challenging genre, but lots of fun when it works.

Queen GaladrielReviewed Chapter: 12 on 11/1/2005
Oh, Lindellia! You gave me a terrible fright there for a moment, but I'm so glad, so glad Frodo didn't die! Larner recommended me to you, and I didn't think anyone could be so cruel as to take Frodo in that way, but well...you were very convincing! Good work! Is there a sequel? Namarie, and God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: I write lots of sequels, but one hasn't occurred to me for this story, unfortunately. I find writing "AU" quite a challenge, unless of course I make a mistake and end up writing an accidental AU!

Thanks!

I loved this story! I'm so glad Frodo had a happy ending. I was so sad when I read the ending of Return of the King...I wanted everyone to live happily ever after. And in your story, they did! ^^ The last line was just brilliant, by the way. I'm looking forward to reading more of your stories. :)

Author Reply: Oh, thank you! For some reason I didn't see this review when you originally wrote it, but just stumbled across it this evening.

This was excellent! Purely wonderful! It had a bit of everything; drama, humor, excitment, angst....With Aragorn/Strider, Merry, Pippin, Sam, Tom Bombadil, Rosie....And all put together flawlessly! Great job, you're a marvelous writer, and I really enjoyed reading this fic. =)Five stars *****

Author Reply: Would you believe I first saw this review now? Sorry for the extremely belated thank you.

Bravo! A stellar piece of work. Very Tolkien in spite of the unusual story . . . or maybe even because of it. Thank you, thank you!

Author Reply: You're most welcome. That's a game I play when I write "AU"--can I still keep the characters perfectly in-character, no matter what odd things are happening in the story? Glad this one worked. Thank you!

And they all lived happily ever after.

Sweet.

Author Reply: You got it. Gave 'em the fairytale ending. Thanks.
