Chapter 22 of A Secret Gate is up today. Given the length of time it took to get it there, it ought to be a creation of flawless beauty and depth. I’m sad to say it isn’t; it has its moments, though
( Read more... )
Yes!! I am savouring your story; I just read the first part, with Merry, and on to the second part about Pippin a little later, and maybe tomorrow the third part. I need to extend the enjoyment as long as possible. But as soon as I'm done, I will review!
I've read the first tow parts of the chapter, and loved them.
As to your dipping into the movie-verse for that one moment, it doesn't bother me at all. I believe firmly that Tolkien meant for his mortal characters to have an afterlife, and I also believe that Pippin would be more well-aquainted with it than most others. After all, he came very close to dying under that troll.
Hope I'm making sense.:) It's late, and I think I've watche way too much basketball this weekend. 4:50 is going to come too early tomorrow.
Thank you for your thoughtful words, and kind assessment, too! I can relate to 4:50--that's my wake-up time, as well. Staying up past 9:30 is pushing it! Thank you for staying up to read! :)
I just sent you off my impressions of the latest chapter, but I wanted to comment again here, just on the idea of "movie-verse" elements in canon-based fics

Even in movie-verse, I don't think Gandalf would lie about such a thing when he himself brought it up. And we really have no idea how time and space works beyond the world--perhaps the way out looks the same to everyone!
Answering your e-mail, albeit a little slowly. I am just back from the eye doctor and dilated so everything is a little fuzzy!

Oh, I'm so excited--I figured it would be a few more days till it was posted after your email!
*grins* I can't read it right now; suppertime, followed by a show the DH and I decided to watch together. But soon...soon...
