Findaráto, it is definitely the Steward’s son; I can see the Horn of Gondor. I hope he’ll wind it. It’s supposed to be quite loud. Close to the sound of one of the great ship’s horns that used to sail up this river. Oh my goodness gracious, he’s taken a tumble. Indeed he has. Fell right into the river. Ah! Lost his horse, too. Wonder what he’s going to do now? Well, Ferny, I’m sure he’ll not be giving us an interview now. A wee bit embarrassed he’ll be. {Lol. Also the paragraph after that.] [[I wonder, if he had blown his horn, would they have heard it in Gondor, in the City? I also wonder what the month and day is…]] [[[Another thought occured to me: would the Rohirrim be able to hear when he blew it in Gondor?—or only when they are specifically listening, perhaps?]]]

son, well-known profligate, Prince Eldarion, was away from the City. He is reported to be on his way back to the Citadel. [Oh this kind, is he?] [From where, I wonder. And with whom?] Nay! I am utterly dumbfounded. I had heard raconteur tales about events such as this having happened in the last age, but never in my lifetime. Standing next to me is Lord Faramir, Steward of Gondor. Lord Faramir, what think you of the King’s latest aberration? I am as confused and surprised as the rest of our people; he is young. However, he has instructed that his crown be given to his son, Eldarion. I suppose that means his decision is final. [Hummm] Well, I am not one to speak ill of those not present to defend themselves, but the Prince’s latest actions have caused some ill feelings amongst King Elessar’s people. Especially the unfortunate incident with the Lady Beldis of Pelargir.[hummmm] Be that as it may, that seems to be the King’s intent: to have Eldarion crowned as his successor. Of course it would be. As Steward, I will pledge him fealty Wait! Wait! I see Elessar getting off the table. He is walking to the… Oh! Naught! False alarm, Findaráto, just a quick stop at the privy. Now he is returning to the table. A wise decision, I think. Who knows how long he will be lying there waiting to be ‘spirited’ away. Sorry. Thank you, Lord Faramir [Gosh. I was going to say is this an April Fool’s Joke or something.]

I have only just discovered this story. Are you going to write more? Please say yes, they are wonderful and funny. Galathil

Ah, Finderato--to have to deal with a Butterbur and a Ferny on the on-location team! Heh! Hilarious.

I shudder at Boromir's embarrassment. (And it had to be on live television.)Goodness gracious, yes, he won't want an interview! Very funny. : )

Fiondil · 9 July 2008 · Chapter 2: Breaking News - Tharbad (A Quadrabble)

Actually, Agape, I hope this becomes a continuing series as the Muse strikes you... there are just *tons* of stuff that our Findaráto could be reporting on covering three ages. It would be interesting, for instance, to have him interviewing Glorifndel after he chases the Witch-king of Angmar away and spouts his prophecy.... *grin* (aren't I evil? *lol*) Good job with this one. Loved the description of Boromir falling into the river... sounds like someone describing an Olympic event.

Linda Hoyland · 8 July 2008 · Chapter 2: Breaking News - Tharbad (A Quadrabble)

I can just see Boromir as a big name in the News!

Hn, sometimes I wonder about what was in that Horn of his, how it takes him over 3 months to make it to Imlardris, even with loosing his horse is beyond me! He had to have had the worst sense of direction! More please, Lynda

Pearl Took · 8 July 2008 · Chapter 2: Breaking News - Tharbad (A Quadrabble)

Thank you! We really have gone too long without adequate news coverage of the wild areas to the north and west. Glad to hear that VBC is on its toes! I agree with Fredegar - I don't think Boromir will be wanting to grant an interview! hehehe

Linda Hoyland · 8 July 2008 · Chapter 1: Breaking News - Minas Tirith (A Quadrabble)

A clever and unique take on a famous moment.I hope it is all a ruse to give Eldarion a fright!

Pearl Took · 7 July 2008 · Chapter 1: Breaking News - Minas Tirith (A Quadrabble)

This is one of the weirdest things I've ever read - but hilarious!! :-) :-) I love the bit about him getting up for a trip to the privy - LOL!!!! Thank you for the morning laugh :-) (I wonder if I'm going to be the only dolt who clicks on the URL? LOL)

Tithenaru · 7 July 2008 · Chapter 1: Breaking News - Minas Tirith (A Quadrabble)

Great use of news speak. What has Eldarion been up to? A trip to the loo from your deathbed - how sensible. This is priceless Loved it Tithenaru

Fiondil · 6 July 2008 · Chapter 1: Breaking News - Minas Tirith (A Quadrabble)

ROTFL! It's a good thing Aragorn 'went' before he left. I can just see him standing before the Lord of Mandos vainly trying NOT to cross his legs and Námo staring at him in disbelief, then sighing and rolling his eyes as he points. "Down the hall, third door on the left and make it quick, I've a deadline to make!" Absolutely too wicked, Agape! And it's Monday afternoon here in China... just the thing to read while having my lunch. *grin*

Larner · 6 July 2008 · Chapter 1: Breaking News - Minas Tirith (A Quadrabble)

Agape--I am considering sending a number of wet noodles to you for this one! You know what must be done with them, of course! Heh! Profligate? And what precisely happened with Lady Beldis? And Faramir's still around? And love the visit to the privy! Hehehehehe!

Grey Wonderer · 6 July 2008 · Chapter 1: Breaking News - Minas Tirith (A Quadrabble)

That was fun! I loved it when he got up to go to the bathroom! Thank you for the laugh.

Kitt Otter · 6 July 2008 · Chapter 1: Breaking News - Minas Tirith (A Quadrabble)

Oh, this was wonderful. "Have you ever seen anything like this?... Nay!..." - Clever parody of our own news-talk. And a quick stop to the privy! That is practical! *snorts and falls off chair* -Kitt

Me · 6 July 2008 · Chapter 1: Breaking News - Minas Tirith (A Quadrabble)

Uh, YOU ARE INSANE! And that's my final word on the matter. VERY funny fic thouh. LOL.

Radbooks · 6 July 2008 · Chapter 1: Breaking News - Minas Tirith (A Quadrabble)

*snort* This was a wonderful Sunday morning laugh!!

6336 · 6 July 2008 · Chapter 1: Breaking News - Minas Tirith (A Quadrabble)

Oh LOL! This should come with a food and drink warning! More please, Lynda
