Poor Merry! At least he won't remember... And the bad guy is free once again. *shakes head*

Interesting little foray here... :-) Thanks for writing!

Author Reply: Thank you! This was a fun detour for me (and them!).

Ooo...good for Boromir...

Author Reply: Three cheers for Boromir! I loved writing about him in this story.

Perilous plans, indeed! Not sure what I think of this scheme -- we'll have to see how it goes...

Author Reply: Eeee, the suspense! *bites nails*

Well, darn. Frodo's never going to get back on his feet -- fevers and arrows and Rings, oh my! :-)

So Merry's wandered off (didn't they just decide they were going to have to keep an eye on him?), and Boromir's seeing things (hopefully Gandalf and Gimli are a match for him). Everything's falling apart around them!

And the plot thickens...

It's been fun picking up the bits of LOTR and Lost canon and seeing how you tie them together! So random, but I'm enjoying it... :-)

Author Reply: This was such a random story! I remember how challenging it was to weave two canons (and my own ideas) together.

Uh oh...that'll be trouble...

So, wow. It's been a long time since I've seen Lost, especially season 1... :-) Should be interesting to see how this progresses...

Wow!

I've never seen Lost, but this was a truly fascinating and unique read. Yes, I'm just going to wink broadly at a plane in Middle-earth (heheheheheheh, now I want to know how the flight was going *before* they crashed...considering that the Hobbits hate heights...). I love that you were able to almost completely uproot these familiar people and set them down in a totally new setting and yet keep them in character, and there weren't terribly great changes in their relationships. Love also that Boromir had the chance to redeem himself in this story...poor Boromir. And I love Pippin's artwork, LOL! Too bad Saruman got away. But can we assume that out of this comes the quest not very different from the one we know well? Except that Boromir might survive? And if there are airplanes...what other machines will Saruman turn to his purposes?

This really does make one want a sequel, you know. :D

Excellently done, congrats!

Author Reply: Oh my, thank you very much! This is truly one of the most unique stories I ever wrote. It was a challenge to base it on a TV show in progress, keep it as canon as possible, and yet still make it suspenseful. I'm very happy you liked it. *hugs you*

I can't believe I hadn't read this one before. Talk about a good story!

Thanks for taking the time to write and post this.

Author Reply: Thank you! This was a most unusual -- and fun -- story to write. I wish future seasons of "Lost" had inspired me as much as the first one, though.
