Inspiration  by Antane 27 Review(s)

Wow. This reads like slash to me, and here I thought this was a slash-free site? You might want to check the site guidelines before posting slash here.

Author Reply: Hello, whoever you are, this is indeed a slash-free site and that's why I post here since I despise slash with all my being and I do not write it in any way, shape or form. I used to post warnings that my love stories do not contain such perversion because I knew they could be mistaken as such since we live in such a corrupt society. But no, this is the same love that is in the Red Book and that is the purest, deepest love that anyone could ever feel for anyone. I've been posting here long enough - some three years now - that I didn't think I needed to warn anymore but maybe I should since you are the second person who has mistaken me.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

If there was any hope left, it would be contained in this little one.

It's wonderful to glimpse how Frodo inspired everyone in those few moments.

Author Reply: Hantanyel, my dear! He inspires me so much too!

I was laughing right along with Aragorn. You have caught the two of them beautifully. And i love the ranting under the breath!

Author Reply: Hantanyel, my dear! Glad you enjoyed. It was fun to write those parts. :)

Hah!

Frodo writing all of LotR just to try to prove that Sam's the real hero is priceless--though I have to admit that given the debates we still have about it today he didn't do a very good job! (*suddenly has mental image of Sam serving as beta and nearly covering the first draft in whatever the Shire equivalent of red pen is because it glorifies him too much*)

Frodo felt gloriously in character from the rant to his conscripting Aragorn for the job of knocking some sense into Sam--lol!

Yes, I love the idea of these two getting into this sort of debate--somewhere squirreled away I have a snippet of Eressea fic waiting to be written down in which Frodo acts far too annoying for his age (probably evidence that he's been healed) and continually makes remarks along the lines of, "Remember that time that you saved my life, Sam?" just to make him feel discomfited.

I hope you continue this; it'd be interesting to see what you come up with for other characters.

Author Reply: Ah a new fan! *bows in gratitude for such a lovely, long review and then gives you a big hobbity hug for same* Yeah, it's very good that Sam didn't see the Red Book in progress! :) So glad you enjoyed the rant and conscription of his king - those are some of my favorite parts too! I'd love to read your story! Thank you for the encouragement to continue. I do have some ideas but so much to do, so little time! :(

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

I love Aragorn finding himself in the middle and agreeing that neither Sam nor Frodo "just walked" or that neither was just ordinary.

Author Reply: Hantanyel, my dear! Looks like everyone has the same favorite parts - including me!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

What a tender, loving story. It warms my heart. Happy Thanksgiving, dear Antane.

Author Reply: I thought you would enjoy, my dear! Your words warm my heart right back! :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Hello Miss Impudence,

You see? I can review too (puffs out chest proudly, then thinks the better of it as top button flies across the living room)!

I thought this was so lovely, and very funny. First of all they're all sweetness and light, and then they're arguing about who did more - no wonder Aragorn was laughing! Having Frodo half-rant at him about Sam's claim he 'just' walked (and Sam's horror that he spoke to the King in that manner, only to turn round and do it himself two seconds later!). And I loved the way their Lights flared when they joined hands in the hallway.

A lovely piece of work!

M ;)


Author Reply: I was hoping you would stop by, cousin mine - so glad you did! I wasn't sure how switching so abruptly from sweetness and light to rant would work but I loved writing the rant! :) Thank you so much for your kind words!

Namarie, God bless, Aunty Anne :)
