| A mighty curse, this one! Poor guy! And I don't blame the sea spirit for his curse, not really. Indeed a strange doom! Author Reply: Thanks, Larner, for stopping by to read and comment. And the curse might be a /leetle/ over-the-top, but so are the blessings! | |

| Yay! I was so happy when I saw the laert! And I loved this. A son of Eärendil, much as the sea faring king of Numenor, yet with drops of Homer! Delightful sad tale. I really love it how you are somehow testing -and proving- how Tolkien's world is really rooted in western tradition. The weaving Penelope, the irate sea-spirit who could be Osse, Ulmo dwelling in the wreck of Numenor... it all mingles seamlessly. Beautiful! Author Reply: Hi, perelleth! Thanks for reading. Also, thank you for your thoughtful comments and recognition of the sources for the various elements. I'm so glad it all works! | |

| Aside from the tone (which, once again, is spot on), I really liked the fusion of the Odyssey, the Cottage of Lost Play, and the Flying Dutchman. Somehow the echoes of our own legends make the Middle-earth elements seem more timeless. Good job! Author Reply: Thanks again, Celeritas! I'm glad you enjoyed the tale. I'm also happy that you found the mashup of real-world story elements and Tolkien's worked! | |
