I was disappointed to see that your story had been taken down, and hoped it was only for revision or something along those lines. I was pleased to see its reemergence on OSA!

Anyway, the first chapter is the real 'hook' that leads the reader onto the rest of the story. Mr. Walrus (Oglub? I've never been good at remembering names...) gives us a unique view into the world of Middle Earth's fauna - horses, ponies, and oliphaunts excepted. One begins to remember just how big Middle Earth is, and that it does not simply encompass the lands in which the Fellowship journeyed.

I especially love the line about the walrus's inference about the palantir...'since it was so big, and so hard to crack, it must therefore be an extra big and extra tasty oyster'...or something along those lines.

Waiting for more chapters,

Considering her torture by lemmings for not giving her bugspray, I'm curious to see what she does to him for betting her..... XD

Oh haleth why are'nt all the 65 chapters http://capernica.fws1.com/fanfic/palantir/palantir1.htm up here in OSA forum, your depriving us readers the full extent of this wonderfull story. I cant emphasis how much I love Inglor...and adore Haleth...this story reminds me of calvin and hobbes set in middle earth with a dash of sexual tension....and maybe love?

regards
Eressa

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.

Haleth

I started reading your story and I couldn't stop. I love both your characters. Its always nice to have to original characters instead of one. I'm anxiously awaiting an update. I was so dissapointed to see that you have over 60 chapters, but only 20 available to read Shocked smiley face I so want to read more Banana smiley face
