| After reading your two lastest posts at this site, I read or reread more of your stories. In this one, you did a very good job in working out some of the concrete details of what Tolkien only describes abstractly. As I recall, the one who pocesses the ring either grows nor changes, merely continues the same indefinitely (FotR, Chapter 2?). Seeing its effect on Gollum and even its relatively benign effects on Bilbo, the Ring obviously has strong "side effects". | |

| Bad news first: Two typos: when Frodo (?) talks about Merry, that should be *than*. And at the end, talking about Sam's happiness, you're missing a pronoun: him. Good news: Waiting patiently to see where you're taking this. :) | |

| Absolutly beautiful :) A lovely, well written story with a good gap-filler idea. Great job! | |

| Oh, Regina! How heartbreaking! (And as beautifully written as all your stories.) Oh my, what a poignant story. Eowyn will no doubt be the only person ever to know this secret grief. Author Reply: Janet, what ever would I do without your encouragement? :-) Thanks as always. I haven't decided yet whether only Eowyn will know his secret--there may be one more. | |

| Regina. This is such a sweet, heartbreaking story. You have tackled the issue of the Rings profound effects on Frodo with great sensitivity and very convincingly. Well done Helen/shireling Author Reply: Thank you, Helen. :-) Was very concerned this idea wouldn't work, & am glad it sounds convincing. | |

| Oh, how sad! An interesting idea, too. You've probably crushed the hopes of all those hobbit-lusters out there, though. But I think there's merit to it: the Ring really did consume all of Frodo, in the end there was very little of his real spirit left. Interesting to have this exchange between Frodo and Eowyn. That's a relationship that's hardly ever explored, and I liked the interaction with the other hobbits too. Good to have Merry with his own unique relationship to Eowyn--he isn't always an indistinguishable back up hobbit. :) Well done. Author Reply: Thanks, Lamiel. Have already gotten one cry of agony at ff.net, so you were right about crushing the hobbit-lusters' hope. :-) | |
