Hmmm, story of the day. My opinion has not changed. Congrats.

I mostly agree that he was no writer. He wove a wonderful universe and filled it with fantastic characters, but his writing left me squinching. He did not fill out his characters at all. And, his constant jumping around in paragraphs left me dizzy. Still, I am thankful that he left us this outstanding world to play with, and play we have. Thank you, dear Prof, for giving us what few author's have deigned to give us: fertile ground.

A truly outstanding filler. You have done a wonderful job here, opening a glimpse of what he was before the turn. Quite plausible. Thank you for sharing.

You know, if you read an MS, at least reading an obvious one is preferable. Very funny, and very well done. But, the poor MS was kind of cheated out of her fair due, duncha think? Poor Laura. LOL

I have been toying with this very subject for over a year. I just needed a boost in the tail-end to jump-start me. I am glad you liked it. I have often wondered why he let the goof get by with keeping the ring. Self-torture? Needed the angst? Not sure, but did not seem to showcase his talent for foresight. I guess some people are just drama queens (kings?) and need the angst. LOL Thank you for reading and commenting.

Very angsty. I do like this. It is one explanation for Boromir going to Rivendell instead of Faramir, who to me was the logical choice.

I did notice at least on tense issue. When you mention him going to the Oyster and Ox, which by the way I did not think was humorous nor out of place, you say he "...wanted to go to the Oyster And Ox and drunk himself blind..." drunk should be drink. I am not sure if this was a typo, or a language thing. Just thought you would like to know.

Otherwise, a very enjoyable story.

Hmmm, I recognized this about half-way through. However, an excellent story deserves another look. And, it is just as wonderful as the first time. Thank you for sharing. And, another round of popcorn and Buttershots.

Just had to jump in here and say again how lovely this is. I am definately not an Eowyn fan, by any means. However, you do capture her very well. Thank you, again, for sharing.

It is nice to think that he may have seen things differently. In all honesty, I did not finish ROTK, so I only have movieverse to go on, but since I do not like a lot of the changes in character and such that I have read, I have to think that PJ mangles poor Denethor, also. So, I will live with the illusions given me by other writers.

You have done an outstanding job of giving the man some humanity. Thank you for sharing.
