This is absolutely beautiful. Tolkien would be smiling if he could read it.

The multiple use of the word it in the first sentence had me a little confused, but confusion is a way of life for me.

Wonderfully written and true to the spirit of Tolkien.

Thank-you for the kind reviews, everyone.

I've taken down the web pages. The story wasn't completely posted there in any case.

I originally wrote this without thinking that proofreading might be a good thing.

It's amazing how time can change the perspective. I look at passages I believed were quite good and wonder what I was thinking.

So...please bear with me. It will take a while but the drek level from the original will (hopefully) go down drastically.

Amrod and Amras · Sun Mar 28, 2004 8:39 am

An interesting topic!

Maybe Tolkien found the entire episode too disturbing and did not chose to follow it?

Or maybe his attention was captured by something else. His subcreation was so huge and there were so many details he was constantly trying to fill in that this might be the case.

I thought I read somewhere that Christopher Tolkien meant to at least mention that there was only Amrod left when the kingdoms were established in Beleriand.

Maybe this subject would be better discussed on the forum rather than in reviews?

A Soul Contrite · Sun Mar 21, 2004 4:05 pm

You've captured the souls of Pippin and Merry at a very pivotal point. Pippin's contrition and Merry's silent worry and support are very real. So is Pippin's determination to try to make amends. It really shows the unbreakable spirit of the hobbits, even in the worst situations. This is what no one in the books, save Gandalf, understood.

There is No Soap in Ladros · Sat Sep 27, 2003 6:40 pm

One had always wondered about the happenstance of allowing an inexperienced male loose in a room with too many toiletries.
This is wonderfully original.
Will there be a sequel detailing the reactions of all and sundry to Our Hero's new-found boquet?
