Wherever the Prompt Might Lead  by Larner 228 Review(s)

Great chapter! One of the reasons I really like your stories is because all of them(exept the AUs) go together and once you introduce a charactor(sp) they keep on being mentioned and appering in different stories so you really get to know them. Also because you stick so much to the books and making it belivable(like it could happen in ME) I tend to imagian that that is what really happened, because it fits in with Tolkiens writing and it seams like his(exept that thankfully you put in more(one wild gess!) Dunadine!).
I think that Aeiluin is Gilfilegs sister and that she and Halbarad were married and had a son who was about 8 during RotK. I can't think of a name for him though. But he is very smart, if a bit mischivious at times.
God Bless!

Ps. If I don't reviw for a while, it isn't because I'm not reading your stories, it's because I'm studying for the geographic bee(I want to make it to the National Geographic Bee, 'cause it's my last year).

Author Reply: Even my "Go Out in Joy" tends to work in with the others in spite of being AU. I have one AU story that I started a few years ago and have left rather simmering, and it sort of fits in with the others as well, if at a rather odd angle.

I hope to have the the next chapter of "Stirring Rings" finished soon, after which I'll get up the next chapter of "The Tenant," as part of what happens in the former will dovetail into the latter, I hope fairly nicely. And there are Dunedain, of course, in both those chapter.

Well, it's going to be a most interesting month, and good luck with your Geography Bee. Remember where Wake Island is! Heh!

And I'll think on Aeiluin and Halbarad and their son!

I like the fact that Frodo has laughter and friends in the West. :)

Author Reply: I agree, Shirebound. If anyone deserves such things, it is Frodo Baggins!

I'd still listen, at least until it got too painful, then I'd laugh with him and hug him. :) At least he had fun and that's the important part! Elanor Silmarien I think wrote a story about him playing the piano and he did a beautiful job at that.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

*grin* Very clever! I like the idea of Frodo sailing about blithely in his own little swan-boat!

Author Reply: I do, too. I had this given Frodo after he came to Tol Eressea, and Livwen taught him how to sail it. I think that he would love sailing, once he had the chance to do so. Am so glad you share the delight in Frodo just enjoying his new life!

(By the way, he named it the Narcissa.)

This was very exciting,I liked it.

Author Reply: Am so glad you liked it, Linda. Maybe I'll finally get to that part of the story one day!

Linda HoylandReviewed Chapter: 1 on 12/3/2008
Delightful! I'd like to write the prompts but am struggling!

Author Reply: Oh, I can certainly appreciate that, Linda. These will be short, and I hope sweet as well.

Hmm...the first example of a petrol bomb? Scary waiting time.

Author Reply: Yes, the earliest of Molotov cocktails! Indeed a tense time of waiting until things are right for the attack.

Thanks so, Harrowcat.

Nice chapter! Update soon please!
God Bless!

Author Reply: I'll be trying to update daily, but am wondering how I'll do when I must add a new element each day! This is supposed to be a series of ficlets, and I've decided to try to keep them each to 150 words. We'll see if I can do so!

You are writing up a storm!

I am wasting time, and haven't written a word of fanfic since last week.

So good that one of us can be productive, at least... I'm glad I sneaked one more moment online to read this... Thank you for feeding my habit.

(I want to read more of this particular setting. Got any on the back burner?)

Author Reply: Yes, I must hide from life somehow, I find.

Apparently this challenge is additive. Element one was the bottle; today's addition was the wharf. Now I must continue to work those elements and the coming ones into each additional ficlet. Can I keep it up? Dunno!

Love to the kids and hubby and Zoe.

Wherever the prompt may lead indeed - are you going to follow these up with fuller stories? It's not nice to leave us all on these cliffs you know! :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: I don't know as yet, Antane. This is for the Henneth Annun list's annual Advent Calendar challenge, which I've not done previously. As this year's theme call for ficlets each containing the previous elements plus one more daily, I'm trying to keep them to a hundred fifty words. How I'll do that when I have twenty-four elements to work into the final story I DON'T know! I may find myself dropping out eventually, of course. Maybe I'll find one of the ficlets calls to be written out, but then maybe not! Don't know as yet what the future might bring.
