| This was just gloriously side-splitting, yet also often wonderfully tongue-in-cheek-y. My favorite parts may have been the orc-baths and Merry accidentally killing the witch king. I read most of it to my younger brother (who's taller than me and thus has similarities with the giant dwarf). We both laughed and giggled and gave each other knowing looks when we got a joke. I'm glad Sam was so nice to Gollum. They really do have more in common than they knew, what with liking food so well (albeit different sorts). The seedcakes/fishcakes did nicely to help tie the chapters together. The epelogue was especially ominous... That palantir stuck on repeat had to come back, didn't it? Dundunduuu.... Poor Fatty. Bravo, and three cheers, and cozy slippers, and many fried fish and seedcakes to the talented and humor-filled writer! | |

| Muhahaha, how hilarious! Before I read on, I must say that my family talked about this recently. Why didn't they go via eagle? Dealing with it humerously was a great idea. I love your irony and artfully inserted movie lines. | |

| You know, never really thought of it, but it really would have been so much faster to just have the eagles drop it, pick up Frodo (maybe Sam) and fly them over to Mordor, wouldn't it have? But my gosh, this was hilarious. I was literally laughing out loud as I read it! My favorite would have been the somewhat revised version of "I Spy" Merry and Pippin were playing, and them being called the "cousin creatures." Lovely story, very well written & exceptionally funny. ~Shann | |

| Sam was about to entreat the gangling creature to have mercy upon them all and let Frodo dispose of his burden, when another terrifying cry rent the molten gas plumed air. "Oh for Pity's sake!" Sam momentarily closed his eyes and muttered a quick prayer for forgiveness to whoever had the power to grant such things, then grabbed his Master and the creature by the necks and banged their heads together. He then prised their fists apart to reveal the One Ring, lying glinting in the red glow of the raging furnace and, with a flick of his finger, sent It flying into the river of lava below. A fitting end. I could just imagine that. And Freddy, up in the Brockenbores? Hmm...you did say "The End". Didn't you? And it most certainly was quicker... | |

| LOL. That ending with Fatty was excellent! And Sam and Gollum making fishcakes - I knew those crazy kids could get along if they just gave it a chance. :) Brilliantly finished! | |

| My favourite bit of this chapter, as you know, is this: "I thought you were enjoying yourselves," Aragorn said patiently, "you liked the dead people – now didn't you?" "Yes," Pippin conceded, "but they didn't do much. I mean, you just released them from their oath and then they all ran away!" And I love all of Boromir’s achievements and that Gollum knows who Tom Bombadil is, and Merry and Pippin’s inability to remember the name of Andúril, Flame of the West! The accidental slaying of the Witch-king is wonderful, and I also really like Gorawen’s name for them, “small cousin creatures”! This is such a great paragraph: "I am not sure which of the small cousin creatures caused the dropping and the killing," Gorawen explained, "but they seem to have fulfilled an ancient prophesy, eliminated a powerful enemy and earned lasting fame and renown, although they might have just been messing about." | |

| This just might be my favourite chapter! I love every bit of it, especially with Wormtongue! His decision to change his name is inspired, because you are right, what would folks naturally expect from a character named Grima Wormtongue! This is such a great bit, I can just see him: "Grima – Grima Wormtongue – and yes, I am a baddie. The name is a bit of a giveaway don't you think?" The man pushed his lank greasy hair back from his pus-soaked eyes, "I was thinking of changing it to something else. Maybe Shiny Larksong, or Bravely Goodheart, you know, just to throw people off a bit. What do you think?" I am looking forward to the other idea you had for Grima’s choice of good-guy names! And I love Pippin’s marble! And Boromir and Denethor, and Saruman's lack of interest in the whole thing, and Sauron...everything about it really : ) | |

| Once again this chapter has some great dialogue! Gems like: "Well Sam," Frodo began gently, "I don't really want you to pick It up, but you are welcome to keep me company." and "Well Sam," Frodo sighed, "it's just you and me then. May the others find a safe road! Strider will look after them. I don't suppose we will see them again." "Yet we may, Mr Frodo. We may," said Sam. "Besides, you've invited Merry and Pippin to come over for their tea this evening and I've never known them to miss that!" And as always your Gollum voice is spot on! | |
