Although, the creature that attacked Faramir is based on Shelob, I have also based his symtoms on real life spider bites. If you are interested, you can read more here.

Good to know that I'm not the only one having problems with google. I can't get my mails via Thunderbird - for 24 hours now - and it's grating on my nerves.

But great that ff.net let you finally update:)

Wonderful Chapter

It's me MusicDreamer from Fanfiction.net. Sorry I've missed a few chapters, but college was hectic. I came to your journal to find the updates feeling it would be easier this time around. Again another excellent chapter, and that Thoron is a mouthy young man isn't he? I look foward to reading more of your work. You can always reach me at anb1@muw.edu to reply to this if you want. You don't need to though, I just thought I'd give you a way to get in touch with me if you wanted to. Take care mellon nin.

Ah! Finally! :) For me, it was a long wait, indeed, - and I am already impatient to see the next chapter. I am afraid, Aragorn will blow their cover, eventually...

So pleased to learn about your MPA awards - congratulations!

Dear Linda

Well, it has been some time since "A time to reap" was updated, and I am really, really very anxious to learn what happened next. Sure, I am not alone! :)

Eghm, what about Chapter 25?

Best wishes
Fran

Re: an update?

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Chapter 25 is currently with Raksha, so I hope to post it within the next week. As my review counts were down, I feared people were losing interest and wrote a few other short stories, but I am hoping now to update soon and am delighted you are caught iup in the characterss' fate.

Hi

Ah, the long-awaited chapter is out, and - my compliments! I like plot surpriprises, especially when they are well-founded, and I really liked the way you handled the "revelation". As for me, I hope the lady would preserve their secret till the time is right, for a change! :) Personally, I thought they would have to reveal themselves as warriors, in order to kill the spider and protect the people... but I like it the other way!

Looking forward to the next chapter, as usual. :)

I'm pleased you enjoyed the chapter.You will have to wait to see if Aragorn and Faramir manage to keep their secret. Many thanks for your comments.

aha- a next chapter up!

[(Anonymous)]

Hurray! The next chapter is up! And the next one will be about fighting the spider - or the one after the next one... Needless to say I am quite impatient. Any ideas where the next chapter may be up? And how I am supposed to live till then?

Beleg is really mean. Or just short of labour. Or just wants to keep the two around...

Eghm, by the way, Merry Christmas and Very Happy New Year!

P.S. And I liked the latest story, about cats, too!

aha- a next chapter up!

Ah- my favourite chapter! :)

Way to go! And - thanks for posting it so fast. I would have died of curiosity otherwise.

Eh, it seems the story is getting closer and closer to its finale... Thats the only regret I can list. But then I will wait for another...

Re: an update

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much.I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I thought Raksha made a great job of writing the spider part!

Yes,the story is reaching its conclusion,but there are still a few chapters to come and I already have rough drafts of 2 sequels!

[(Anonymous)]

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

I promise I've not forgotten the story and was working on it last night.It will not be abandoned,you have my word.

[nancylea57.livejournal.com]

linda i hate to be fussy but the first link connects way back in the story line from where i've been reading you at linda's lotr you know the one that opens like a book (wow, what a layout,love it)which is i believe where the third link took us.

on the otherhand, i needed to catch up, in fact this afternoon i said self we got to go check our in progresses out and see if any of them are. yeah!!!!!!

great stuff, i hope you have painful plans for that little snot.doesn'at havae to be major, maybe an allergy to willow bark?

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

It is unfortunately only possible to link to the top of the page on the Freewebs site unlike LJ.I Just checked the ff.net link and it is linking to chapter 16,which is very odd.I'll try editing it and hope the new link works.
The book is one of their templates.I fell in love with the design.
I'm pleased you are enjoying the story.
