| Working my way through this one. Do you have any plans to write the story of Estel falling asleep at the feast? I wonder what he was up to to make him so tired? Lucky little Birthday Boy! Lynda Author Reply: Oh, I've considered it, Lynda. But look how long it took me to write the story of Aragorn's first white cat! I'll do it one day, though, I promise! | |

| Poor Frodo, I'd hate to be refered to as Lord or anything like that! God Bless Elizabeth Anne Lucy Wherry Author Reply: Then you do understand just how he feels. Sorry to be delayed in getting back to you, but this last week has been very trying at work. It's nice to be able to just type today and not worry about my client for a couple days. | |

| Dear Larner, I'm so glad Frodo has found something to keep himself occupuied(I misspelled that). Also I'm joining Szepilona...When are you going to put Halabard in another of your stories? God bless Elizabeth Anne Lucy Wherry Author Reply: I'm also glad that Frodo found things to do about the camp. And one day I may write my Aragorn and Halbarad story. You and Szepilona may wish to read Radbook's "In Aragorn's Safe Keeping" stories at http://www.fanfiction.net to get a good idea of the relationship Aragorn had with his kinsman, although she has a couple stories on here, too, with their relationship. Right now I have so many storied going at the same time it's difficult to get to all of them, much less add more! Thank you so. | |

| Dear Larner, My best friend (the one who got me into SoA and your stories) wanted me to tell you her name. Her actual name I won't give but you should be firmiliar (I misspelled that) with sezplino10. She wanted me to tell you that we are best friends. Author Reply: Oh, I'm glad you're a friend of Szepilona! I've enjoyed having her read my work and comment on it, and she's worked through a good deal of what I've written over the years. | |

| I really like this subject since why Frodo was so calm after distroying the Ring was always a big thing I pondered, which is probably why this is my favorite story. Also don't try to email me as your email will not get across unless I have your email. Author Reply: Then we must resort to this for now, although I believe you can send a private email via this site as well. Tolkien in his letters did state that Frodo was calm and at peace because he saw himself as having sacrificed himself for the safety of Middle Earth (and probably mostly for the safety of his own corner of it in the Shire), and that he truly believed his death would be upon him in moments--that the sacrifice would be consummated. But it did not come--not then--for he still had lessons to learn and help to give and life to learn to live again before the end. How much he left undone due to growing weakness and disassociation and how much due to his own inability to accept he could not do all he would do--who is to say? He had such a mixture of pride and humility to him! And if you should desire to email me directly, my email address is not precisely difficult to learn. It is blslarner@olypen.com at least for now! Heh! | |

| I started your story The Acceptable Sacrifice at my best friend's house and as soon as I got home I had to google Stories of Arda and read more of not only this story but all the others. Thanks for writing such awesome stories Author Reply: I am honored, Elizabeth! Thank you so much for letting me know. This story was inspired by Tolkien's comments on why Frodo appeared so calm and at peace there on the side of Mount Doom after the destruction of the Ring, and I found it took on a life of its own, and managed to combine two story ideas I'd had gnawing at my vitals. Now, if I can just find time and energy to finish with the Nuzgul that keeps playing in my jewelry box! I'm about halfway done with that one, I find! | |

| I still can't belive that you managed to get Hardorn to help do the canning! I can alredy hear Hildigor laughing about it! Author Reply: I'm certain Hildigor would find it wonderfully amusing, thinking of the King's best warrior wearing a towel about him and helping at putting up jam! Heh! Am so glad you're enjoying this! | |
