| This looks very promising -- well written, and with a promise of danger and excitement to come. I like how you've woven your premise into the book-verse, and I think it very plausible. Your ideas for why the Nazgul hesitated at the river's edge ring true -- you evoke the power of the hidden valley very well. I'm looking forward to more! Author Reply: Thank you, what a lovely review. I do love wondering "what if"! | |

| A very chilling beginning and plausible reasons for why the Nazgul act as they do.i eagerly await more. Author Reply: Thank you, Linda. I'm so glad the Nazgul's motivations seem plausible. :) | |

| Very intriguing beginning! Reading the thoughts and intents of a wraith is more than a bit creepy, and you've written this very believably. It's definitely shiver-inducing! Looking forward to more! Author Reply: Thank you, I'm so glad this seems plausible. Eeeee, shivers! :) | |

| Great beginning. Very nicely done from the dark side of things. This is one determined villian and I think everyone may be in for some trouble very soon. Looking forward to more. Author Reply: Thank you, GW. He certainly is determined, but so are the 'frail mortals' of which he's so dismissive. :() | |

| ooo chilling and intriguing start! What if one Ringwraith didn't disperse and go back south? Intriguing AU and i look forward to reading more! Love the start! Author Reply: Thank you, Peri An. "What if" indeed! How kind of the Professor to allow us to wonder about all these things. | |

| You're off to a great start! I shall amuse myself worrying for Sam (oh, yes, and the others - she added dutifully) until you post again. Good job of establishing the POV and creating a feeling of lurking menace. And you've even "humanized" him a bit, too, thereby creating a more complex character (similar to Gollum, IMO, we can also "sympathize" a little with his situation). Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Fluffdom any more. Hee. For now, anyway... Author Reply: Dear Sam is safe for one more chapter, I think! Thank you so much. I really appreciate knowing that the wraith seems believable. Goodness, it's very scary out here without much fluff to hang onto (until I sneak it back in, of course). :) | |

| And although neither truly living nor dead, malice, ambition, and envy still rules him. Alas he should make of the stalactites more Morgul blades! Most interesting premise, Shirebound! Author Reply: Thank you very much. It's been fascinating trying to get this figured out. | |
