| Dear Shirebound, I remembered seeing this maybe a year ago, but since I hadn't seen "Lost" back then I skipped it and instead read your other stories(You're one of my absolute favorite authors here, by the way!). But recently my family and I have been renting the DVDs of Season 1; they;re so addicting! Then I remembered that you'd written a mix of LotR and Lost, so I've been reading it with great enjoyment! I tend to be quite a Frodo angst fan, and you didn't dissapoint there. ;) I like how Aragorn said to Boromir, "Be at peace, son of Gondor" just in calm conversation, ominously forshadowing his death scene. :D And I loved Gimli playing chess with Pippin and how he was a bit like John Lock; his hunting the boar, and then Boramir's thoughts that the spear "could have skewered a wild boar" was pure genieus. :D Bravo! 'Course, Merry's being like Charlie was always interesting, and I kept almost laughing at Aragorn's simmalarities to Jack. ;D You did a great job of keeping both stories' ellements present and working it into a compelling plot. You're an inspiration to me, and I hope you don't stop writing great fanfics! :) In the Lion's paws, ~Hobbitgirl~ Author Reply: Thank you, Hobbitgirl! "The Island" was such fun to write; it was a real challenge weaving together LOTR, "Lost", and my own storyline. I have *no* intention to stop writing fanfics. I love LOTR more than ever, and just keep finding myself needing to write down new ideas. I truly appreciate you taking the time to let me know you're enjoying my stories. I love writing and sharing them. :D | |

| Wunnerful, wunnerful! I just love this story! You do everything so well! I love it! But, I thought elves couldn't grow beards, or maybe all of the elves except Cirdan shave? It's another mystery! Again I want to say how much I enjoyed your story and I look forward to next week wednsday so that I can see the 2 hr. season finale and know that you are also watching it. I look forward to anymore stories that you may and hopefully will write, as I will be amonng the first to R and R. Until the next time, May the stars Smile on you and the wind always be at your back! Galidea ;D Author Reply: It's a good question about the beards! (In ROTK, Cirdan is described as bearded.) Thank you for your lovely reviews, may the finale of "Lost" be mind-bending, and new stories are just around the corner! :D | |

| This was great, but...I was hoping it'd be much longer & more involved. Any chance for a sequel? I loved this one. Author Reply: I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't tend to write extremely long stories, but if the sequel-muse ever bites, I'll certainly pursue it! :D | |

| Yay, good for happy endings! Yay for Boromir! I was frightened that he'd fall for Sarumon's trap for a second there! Awesome chapter, got me on the edge of my seat for the next. | |
