| Fortunately for my health, I finished my hot cocoa BEFORE reading this. :D That was absolutely hilarious! Thanks so much for writing it! | |

| Yes, perhaps he's right about the stupid utterances! Hilarious, and oh, so right! Thanks for the giggle. And to see the black ones doing in their own minions--well, all too often those who embrace evil are just too banal for words! Heh! Author Reply: Hi, Larner! You laughed? Good! I like making people laugh. That's why I posted this. :) In Parody-Land of course Dark Lords do in their own minions. It's not as if they have any shortage, and it makes for a certain sort of demented humor. ;) Thank you for reviewing! Still Anonymous | |

| Very funny. The witty conversation was excellent. Melkor's upper crust manner of speaking gave it a nice touch. Sadly I must say, I can empathise with his predicament of waking the next day, just remembering at the edges of memory some incredibly stupid act participated most willingly. Author Reply: Mae govannen, svadilfari! Thank you! I'm glad you thought the conversation was so good since that's what most of the story consisted of. Since this was just a silly parody (that I didn't even intend to post, for that matter), I decided to be just as crazy as I wanted, and, just for the heck of it, gave Melkor his slightly uncharacteristic manner of speaking. It worked out surprisingly well (not that it should have surprised me since it was, after all, a parody). I have, very fortunately, never found myself in the position Melkor was in when he awoke the next day, but have heard it described often enough I thought it would fit. Stirring feelings of empathy, however, was entirely unintentional. ;) Thank you for reviewing! Still Anonymous | |

| “At least it’s better than when I was Aulëndil.” Melkor sniggered rudely into his wine. “Hah! I can’t believe he fell for that!” Sauron sniggered back. “I was his ‘Devotee’! Aulë was always so gullible. I remember when you smashed his lamps. I loved that!” “Oh! Oh! Illuin! Ormal! Whatever shall I do?” Melkor said, pretending to be horrified. The two dark lords tittered and shared a sneering moment. **** *Snicker* I had to laugh at this as "Aulendil" is the name I have Sauron use in my "War of the Valar" when he is still considered by the Valar to be on their side. The destruction of the Lamps will be a pivotal part of the storyline. Now when I come to write about it I'll be thinking of this passage and hoping I can keep a straight face when I describe Aulë's reaction to the news. "Melkoth"... Sounds like "Melkor" with a lisp. Just goes to show that beer and baddies never mix. *grin* Author Reply: Heh. ::snickers:: I hope you can manage to finish "War of the Valar" without undue influence from insane parodies. That's kind of hard on serious drama. I'm glad you liked it, though. :) "Melkor" with a lisp! ::grins:: I suppose "Melkoth" does rather sound like that. I hadn't thought of it. Thank you for the review! Still Anonymous | |

| I am biting my lip to keep from laughing out loud and waking up my sleeping husband. This is the funniest thing I have EVER read, bar none! Melkoth! ROFLMHO! Drunk dark lords... you know, you need to do a crossover where Melkor and Sauron invite Voldemort over... They can gripe more about Luthien and listen to Voldy grumble about Potter. *snicker* I don't know why people think that the Silmarillion is a staid and boring book... anything that can trigger something like this is most definitely not boring! Great job! Author Reply: Well, well, well! The funniest thing you have EVER read?! ::giggles happily:: Why, *thank* you, Rhyselle, I don't think anyone's ever said that to me. I am very flattered. :D I enjoyed writing it, but the odd thing is, I've waffled over it for months because I was convinced no one would like it. Heh. ::shakes head:: Melkor + Morgoth = Melkoth. It's different, and two scary things equal something extra scary, right? Right? OF COURSE THEY DO! LOOK SCARED! ;) The crossover would be amusing, but I don't think I could pull it off convincingly. I like crossovers, but I don't think I could write them very well. Especially not this one, because I've read "The One and True Dark Lord" by Werecat and I have that in my head. Pity. Voldemort could bring Firewhiskey. I wonder how long it would take "Melkoth" to pass out this time . . . People think the Silmarillion is staid and boring because there aren't any specific characters to follow, so it's hard to get into their stories. You have to learn to read between the lines and that takes awhile. That's what fanfiction is for. To examine the characters and make them real.(Not that I was reading between the lines to get *this!* This is just the product of my joyfully demented mind.) Thank you very much for the wonderful review! Still Anonymous | |

| ROFLMAO!! this was a HOOT!!! Morgor????? eek!!!!! How about "He who must not be named".....no wait, that's been done.........*still snickering* ~~~{~@ Author Reply: Mae govannen, Armariel! Thank you for your nice review! I had wondered if anyone would really think this was funny, but I hoped that someone somewhere would get a laugh out of it (I know it amused me). I'm glad to see that you did. Heh. What is it about Dark Lords and names? They always have so many! It should be "He-who-must-never-be-given-a-name-because-it's-too-confusing" . . . nah, I prefer Melkoth. ;) Happily (because I love reviews), :) Still Anonymous | |
