Rising to the Challenge  by annmarwalk 2 Review(s)

How it MIGHT have been! Yes, a different decision, one that would have spared further generations Sauron's evil, at least. And how differently Gondor and Arnor might have developed!

Author Reply: My mind just boggles at some of these might-have-been scenarios. Where would we all be without Tolkien's works to bring us together?

I have sometimes wished it could have ended this way and Frodo never hurt, but then selfishly, terribly, I'm glad it didn't because then I would have never met Frodo and my life would have been so much poorer, though I wouldn't have known it.

Namarie, God bless, Antane

Author Reply: It never would have occurred to me to write this story had I not been intrigued by the "Different Decisions" challenge, and watching FOTR at the same time. Like you, I'm too enamored of the story as it was passed on to us to really wish for this scenario to have taken place. Thank you for reading and commenting!
