Going, Going, Gone  by Lindelea 47 Review(s)
Elanor SilmariënReviewed Chapter: 12 on 3/29/2006
Oh my gosh, that last chapter gave me quite a scare for a moment! This was a very good, unique story. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry half the time, but i think you pulled off the angst/comedy thing very well!
God bless,
Elanor

Author Reply: Thank you, Elanor, for taking time to comment!

Angst/comedy is a challenging genre, but lots of fun when it works.

I know this story has been around awhile, but I have only just discovered it. I enjoyed your original verse for Tom to greet "the Brandybuck and the Ringbearer with. it is just like his verses in the book.Am enjoying the story very much so far.

Author Reply: Oh, thank you for your comment! Sorry to be so late in replying; somehow I missed seeing it until today.

Jodancingtree and I had quite a conversation on Tom's verses, once... I was "helping" her with one of her chapters, and it turned out that *I* was the one who was helped when my turn came to write Tom!

Oh, Lindellia! You gave me a terrible fright there for a moment, but I'm so glad, so glad Frodo didn't die! Larner recommended me to you, and I didn't think anyone could be so cruel as to take Frodo in that way, but well...you were very convincing! Good work! Is there a sequel? Namarie, and God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: I write lots of sequels, but one hasn't occurred to me for this story, unfortunately. I find writing "AU" quite a challenge, unless of course I make a mistake and end up writing an accidental AU!

Thanks!

I loved this story! I'm so glad Frodo had a happy ending. I was so sad when I read the ending of Return of the King...I wanted everyone to live happily ever after. And in your story, they did! ^^ The last line was just brilliant, by the way. I'm looking forward to reading more of your stories. :)

Author Reply: Oh, thank you! For some reason I didn't see this review when you originally wrote it, but just stumbled across it this evening.

Yay! This is a great story so far! I can really see your loyalty to the books, just in the way the characters talk. It makes me want to read the books again...and I love that pun at the end! It took me a minute, but after everyone was laughing I understood it. ^^ And Sam's character is perfect. And I think I'll shut up and go on reading the next chapter. :)

This was excellent! Purely wonderful! It had a bit of everything; drama, humor, excitment, angst....With Aragorn/Strider, Merry, Pippin, Sam, Tom Bombadil, Rosie....And all put together flawlessly! Great job, you're a marvelous writer, and I really enjoyed reading this fic. =)Five stars *****

Author Reply: Would you believe I first saw this review now? Sorry for the extremely belated thank you.

Bravo! A stellar piece of work. Very Tolkien in spite of the unusual story . . . or maybe even because of it. Thank you, thank you!

Author Reply: You're most welcome. That's a game I play when I write "AU"--can I still keep the characters perfectly in-character, no matter what odd things are happening in the story? Glad this one worked. Thank you!

And they all lived happily ever after.

Sweet.

Author Reply: You got it. Gave 'em the fairytale ending. Thanks.

Frodo - called back to life by Sam's love.

Good for Celeborn. Only he could have had an answer to this problem. I like the query about invisible elves running about Middle Earth.

Frodo will be happy to see Bilbo - and for Bilbo to see him.

BodkinReviewed Chapter: 10 on 8/10/2004
Revisiting Rivendell without being chased by Black Riders sounds a rather pleasant thing to do. Especially with Bilbo's / Frodo's birthday to celebrate.

I hope Celeborn has some scheme in mind!
