"I just tried to think the best of him" I LOVED that! And I would love to see Gandalf while he had to confess. Great work! |

I appreciate th humour well enough- I said so. I drew out the language because it means a lot to me. It may have seemed harsh, but it was truly not intentional. If you cannot respect that, then I will not return. Your insight was colourful- and very funny. I tried to express that. I am sorry. I should not like to appear rude, though I do stumble sometimes. Forgive me?
Author's Response: Elemmire: I thought I had answered this, but it's showing up on my account as "unanswered." Forgive me if it's repetitive. There's no need to ask me to forgive you! I am not in the least angry, nor did I think you rude, just trying to point out to you that "Gandalf's No Good, Rotten, Really Bad Day" is a parody!
I'm very proud to say that it won first place at the MEFAs in the parody category. I hope you will read more of my stories.

Enough with the blasted language. The world would be no worse without it, yet better? Perhaps. Some made sense (I thought it funny how you *cough* killed our friend) and others... really, the Butterbur move was slightly stupid... but you really cannot figure out why he cares around the sword he does, or is it just jest?

Author's Response: So sorry you didn't appreciate the humor. Lighten up!

I came across this story at the MEFA site and just howled! When I saw it here, I just had to review! I could just picture the expression of scorn and displeasure on Manwe's 'celestial' face, coupled with those sarcastic replies of his to Gandalf! What WAS Gandalf thinking to put a letter FULL of such incriminating information in the hands of Barliman, the Forgetful, and then just kind of ride off, only to fall into Saruman's hands at Isengard??? And the broken sword - *chokes on a laugh* Poor Aragon...you killed him! Or rather this comedy/tragedy of errors did! It really is amazing he managed to come out whole by the time ROTK came about, isn't it? Brilliant, just brilliant, GA! By the way, who got rid of Saruman? Linda
Author's Response: Thanks for the enthusiastic review! I wrote this piece originally for the Bookverse Improbabilities challenge at HASA. You are so right: What WAS Gandalf thinking! You just have to ignore such questions when reading LotR, or they will spoil the story. But I couldn't resist making just a little fun! I hope you voted for the story with as much enthusiasm at MEFA! As to who got rid of Saruman--no one, as yet. He's still ruling Middle-Earth. Gandalf, Elrond and Arwen were lucky enough to make it to the Havens in time to get away! A true disaster..... and all Gandalf's fault. No wonder Manwe is pissed.

Ah, you killed of Aragorn:) I never understood why he would run around with a broken sword, he really must have hit his head when he decided that. I love how you put in all the little Tolkien plotholes and strange twists! I was laughing like crazy throughout the whole thing. I hope that's compliment enough!
Author's Response: Hi Michelle: Thanks! I hope this piece brightens up everyone's day! It's not often that a character death is the cause for general hilarity. I got a certain satisfaction out of it, though, considering how much trouble Aragorn causes me in the other stories.... G.A. |
