| I am reminded of a Midsummer Night's Dream - Very interesting, intense, and complicated tale you are weaving. At first, I had thought the Haradrim had Bilbo in the bag. Very glad to know it was not, but wondering what/who it is.... Also - loved the cast of characters - all very good, so far. Getting to know them in such extreme moments makes it easy to 'see' them - much better than 'court' faces and such. Putting you on my list for updates! Many thanks for sharing! Author Reply: Wow, I'm honoured by the comparison.. :-) I'm glad you find it easy to follow the characters. I'm trying to keep the cast of OCs. Thank-you very much for your review. THey are always welcome. | |

| Eww! Gollum! And who knows what else? Does he have a young spider or an elfling of what in there? And obviously this blue wizard has gone bad, convincing the Haradri Elves are vampires of some sort! Fascinating. Author Reply: Thank-you, Larner, I'm glad that you are intrigued. Legends and folklore are such a fertile matter for intercultural misunderstandings! So who knows what the Blue Wizrd said and what the Haradrim may have udnesrtood from their own previous knowledge or popular culture! | |

| Arg!!!!How could you leave it there? LOL! A cliffhanger? I wanna know whats in the pack (I hope it's not an elfling) Very interesting story you can bet I'll be back for more! Hugs The Imp Author Reply: LOL! Thank you very much, Imp. All in due time. :-) | |

| Oh, this is extremely intriguing! I love the Southron's skewed view of things, the hints about the Blue Wizards, and the delightfully creepy descriptions of Gollum! I'm looking forward to more! Author Reply: Thank you, Dreamflower! The poor southron is having a hard time away from his land and deep into Mirkwood... | |

| What an interesting time period! I don't think I've ever seen a story about it before. And you have so much going on in different parts of the forest. I'm assuming they'll all collide. Well, I guess the Southron and the dwarves already did. I laughed at the detail about Mallereg being the only one with access to the wine, something Legolas has heard rumored but isn't sure about. I also laughed when he listed the various intruders. Things do sound a little out of hand. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this, Perelleth. Author Reply: I am so fond of Bilbo! His enthusiasm when he leaves Bag end -and the ring- behind always move me, and I wondered often about his last trip beyond the mountains. So then I did as you do, and went to check the Tale of YEars and found out many interesting things going on at that time... and since I seem to be unabale to keep a short cast, there you are, so many people roaming the forest and about to collide. I'm ashamed that it took me six months to have this out! I was checking, and I asked you about the white deers in the beginning of October! Thank you very much as always for your unfailing patience! :-) | |
