Fell Beast  by Space Weavil 12 Review(s)
AiwenReviewed Chapter: 2 on 7/24/2009
Very silly, but also amusing. An appropriate pet for a Nazgul.

Oh this is so funny! I love the idea of Kamul wearing boots just to annoy the witch king a bit more! And soprano squawks turing into baritone! But WHER is Fluffy!!! You cant create a creature and make me love it and then just abandon it to shuffle off miserably into Mordor - alone and unwatned and unloved. Come on! Its like kicking a kitten out into the snow! Another chapter please and the Triumph of Fluffy!
As soon as I saw the Fell Beasts in ROTK I REALLY wanted one. Just imagine swooping over anyone you didnt like and just dropping a big brick on them - or a column, or any other bit of a building. LOVED this and have emialed website to all my friends!

There is something really wrong with feeling a loss when a fell beast goes missing. Even if its name is Fluffy.

Now if Fluffy only comes back - we can have a breeding programme. Fluffy and Sweetie.

And the Nazgul can take to the air!

I just love this view of the Witch King - out walking his Fell Beast. Not to mention the child-like Khamûl.

More, please.

This is very funny! I'm really enjoying it. Fluffy the Fell Beast! ::snickers:: I especially loved the part where the Witch King is saying to himself that *he* is the boss and no one can question *his* decisions, but then turns around and says Fluffy ran away. And the part with Fluffy eating his robes. And the part with the phosphroescent green lighting effect to make the city look ominous. Well, really, I just liked the whole thing! :)

Of course you know I read these at OSA, but I am glad to see them here. You show real range of skill with these because you show you can write not only great drama (as you did in your other pieces) but also hilarious comedy. Fluffy is great, Space!

So much fun! More, please?

Oh, poor Fluffy! Will he ever come back?

But never fear! For now we have Buffy, and soon she'll have Wuffy! Let the drapers beware.

What a surprise ending you've given us, complete with glimpses of the beginnings of the collection of nine fell beasts.

I just love this!

Hugs and brownies,
Mum

I was reminded of Hagrid and his pet in the top of the tower.. .wasn't he named Fluffy as well?

And on some strange cable show about tattoos, how this big burly man came in hearbroken and had them tattoo a picture of his now dead cat, Fluffy, on his chest.

So yeah, it fits Fell Beasts and Nazgul just fine, LOL.

Author Reply: I think the dog thing was Fluffy, yeah. This came out of a discussion about creating the ultimate OFC, the daughter of Sauron, with extra special powers etc, and a pet Fell Beast called Fluffy. It then became a bit of a running joke for a while, and in a fit of silliness I had the idea to try and write the idea into something that would have a touch of canon about it. It then spawned, and there are two sequels to it now.

I love the image of the guy with tattoos. Classic.

you have me chuckling.

Lovely bit.

Makes me think of the family camp we went to. On the last day, as we were cleaning up and preparing to go home again, I sat down for a moment with two other moms, for a cup of tea. There was a jar on the table, a lizard within.

'Are you going to keep it?' one of the moms asked.

The other sighed. 'It has a name,' she said glumly, as if that was all the answer that was needed.

Author Reply: 'It has a name'. That's so cute and so true. Although I'm not a lizard person myself...scared senseless of them. ;)

Glad you liked it!
