♥ Comments are love! ♥
What made you smile? What made you frown? What's the most memorable line? Let me know! And if you have nothing to say about my story, maybe leave a comment for another author elsewhere? Comments are the best thank-you fanfic writers can receive, and all of us cherish them.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you like my story.

magnificent blending of religion and fanfiction, as he progresses up the trail you can hear the centuries long repeating by rote a prayer, and then you break it up in what could almost pass as a personal prayer to give him reason to believe more deeply. ^:-)^
Thank you so much for reading. This is definitely one of my stranger works, so it doesn’t get many readers. I’m so happy you liked it!
I only discovered this tale this evening, and I love it!
I, too, have blended LOTR/SILM fanfiction with aspects of Christian belief (See Resurrection and Resurrection II in my FFN profile), and was so pleased to see this story. I like how you’ve given us an entire society that we never thought of before, through the personage of the narrator, and the things he tells us as he climbs.
I particularly like the bit of a twist you gave to the account of the coming of the Numenoreans, and the possible reasons for them not allowing others to pray to Eru, except the King. Amazing what a difference of perspective brings, hmmm? 🙂
I do hope that you were able to complete your planned illumination for this tale for the cancer awareness project. Will you scan your finished project and post it to illustrate this tale?
Well done, my dear! Well Done!
Thank you for your kind words. I’m thrilled you like the story. It’s really dear to my heart: 2004/2005 I spent around twelve whole months working on it! I’ve never had a short story take so much time before or after.
And yes, during the next few days I’ll edit this version of the story and include the illuminated letters I’ve made, and make it also available as an eBook in pdf format for download. Just keep an eye on my blog – I’ll be sure to post a notice about the update there.
