Where the Merlin Cries  by Lindelea 3 Review(s)

Yes, Regi has a strong sense of duty, and will linger as necessary; and hopefully will benefit from the draught. Glad Woodruff thought of it.

I was wondering if you'd ever update this one. Will Faramir not be appearing at all?

Author Reply: Yup, updating it now. Was too beleaguered before. "Rain" took most of my concentration, and "StarFire" took almost all my research time.

Sorry to say, it would take much more rewriting to shoehorn Faramir into the story, so I took the easy way out and wrote him out. Hope it doesn't distress his fans too much... it does, however, leave open the possibility for a story about his visit to the Lonely Mountain.

I really enjoyed this story when I read it before. I will be re-reading it, but possibly with not quite the same excitement as As the Gentle Rain, where I didn't know what happened.

Again this is a Poor Old Ferdi story. The amount of torment that hobbit goes through, I am surprised he keeps his sense of humour!


Author Reply: Poor Old Ferdi.

How about Poor Young Ferdi? Are you maxed out on Ferdi angst? There's a bit more coming in "StarFire" (no major injuries planned, just dealing with what's already happened), and then the outline for the Thain story has a fair amount of Ferdi angst, from the time the story starts a couple years after "Pearl" leaves off, until Pippin leaves on the Quest.

Do you think I ought to take another look at that and hand someone else the angst-on-a-silver-platter? Everard, perhaps, or Hilly...

My editor loves Ferdi-angst for some reason, and is always hinting for more. Perhaps she secretly hates Ferdi for generating so much work for her! O dear.
