| Wow. What an ending for the Ringbearers. Author Reply: The image of the Being of Light has been with me for quite a while. So, I had to figure out what would have been the purpose to admit not only Frodo but Bilbo and Sam aw well to the Undying Lands--their need for healing would have been far less than his. But the thought of how they might take their release and how others might perceive it was a tempting one to play with. | |

| I'm loving this. I now have to go back and read your 28 chapter story (which I put off so I could write my last chapter). Frodo seems increasingly elf-like, even to his dress - the elves seem to see something in him which isn't there in Bilbo. I loved the way Bilbo endured as long as Frodo needed him - and that Frodo could let him go in the end. I love the hobbity afternoon tea, to which Olorin came as Gandalf. (Wouldn't it be great to be able to throw on a whole new body - gives a whole new meaning to the idea of fancy dress.) Look forward to more. Author Reply: Well, I hope you enjoy what comes after. I felt that for those who went to the Undying Lands, the choice to leave it would be more in line with that given to the children of Elros, a realization the time had come or the final loss as the body reaches the end of its term. And I've been intrigued with the idea that for those who had never seen mortals before, this one chance to see them, even if from afar, would bring about a level of fascination. As to what they would perceive when one of their guests went on is, of course, questionable, so this is my own postulation of what might be in such a circumstance. | |
