Still being flamed. I've got a new thing now. Every time I get a flame, I add that person to my list. I post the lists to ff.net in sets of ten. I mock their pitiful attempts at stories by MSTing them just like they do mine. Only instead of that goober Joel, or even worse Mike. Who names their character Mike? It's so uncreative. Names should be unique and creative.
Like Lin. That's such a cool name.
The story's going great, by the way. Lin, Sam, Frodo, and Ahyan' (that's the new name Lin gave Gollum, it means "Changed) are about halfway to Mount Doom. Legolas almost killed Eomer in a jealous rage, until Eowyn stepped between them and took the arrow in her own heart. Legolas didn't have the heart to kill him after that.
Orlando Bloom hasn't answered any of my mail yet.

Dear Diary,
It's lunchtime. I had some wicked early morning inspiration. So Lin was saving Frodo and the others hobbits from certain death in Shelob's lair right? After she slayed the spider with nothing but a fistful of ash and some lembas, she was missing Legolas really bad. So while the hobbits rested (elves don't need sleep!), she wandered around singing "I Swear" to herself. Ancient, I know, but it's great because Sam wakes up and she tells him it's an ancient, traditional love song.
The best part was, the wind catches her voice, fairest voice among all elves, and takes it across the mountains to Rohan. Legolas hears it and sings back to her. And then the wind takes his voice back to her, and their love is strengthened. So touching, I know.
Of course, she doesn't know about Legolas killing her best friend Eowyn yet. Conflict!

Dear Diary,
Got another flame. This one wondered why I haven't brought back Gandalf yet. The reason? He'd still Lin's spotlight, and who wants to read about an old fart anyway?
Lin's so much more interesting. See, biologically, she's Galadriel's and Bombadil's son, but Goldberry and Celeborn can never find out about their spouses' trist, so she was raised in the house Theoden. She doesn't even need encantations for magic. The magic of Middle Earth swirls around and through her.
Anyway, I realized I left out the part about Saruman and the Ents, but it's okay, see, because it gives Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas something to do. Instead of taking the Paths of the Dead - don't worry, I won't leave them out, Lin'll use'em - the Ents will like, talk to Legolas and ask for his help in defeating those who have been cutting them down. So they like, defeated Saruman and stuck his head on a pike. Lin can't get all the glory.

Dear Diary,
I just got a letter saying to stop sending correspondence to Orlando Bloom. It must be from his jealous girlfriend. She's knows she's gonna lose her man.
Oh, chapter 26 just featured Lin saving the hobbits from captivity in the tower. She rocks. I rock.

Dear Diary,
I think the story's winding to a close. Don't worry! There's going to be a sequel!
Anyway, Lin & Co. reached the Cracks of Doom. Sam and Ahyan' were too frightened to go into the fiery caverns, so Lin (and Frodo) did it alone. She is so brave! She had to carry him, because the weight of the ring was too much for him. Then at the last minute, he tried to take the ring for his own. He was eviller than Sauron! He stood before her a powerful demigod, like Gollum had been, only to her he seemed taller than the highest Mountain. She tried to heal him, but between the Mountain crumbling and erupting and Sauron running towards her, she couldn't! She barely managed to escape the Mountain, carrying the terrified Ahyan' and Sam, as Sauron, Frodo, and the Ring were consumed by fire.
It was so cool.

Dear Diary,
Well, the story's over. I got over 100 reviews, and there's 243 jeeeeeeeealous people on my list!
I wrapped it up by having Lin race through the Paths of the Dead, save Gondor and Theoden, talk Denethor out of the nasty murder-suicide, crown Aragorn, and marry Legolas.
Then there was this beautiful goodbye scene between Lin and Galadriel, the mother she never knew. I got four reviews for that chapter alone!
I've been hearing a lot about this book called the Silmarillion.
I smell a sequel.
Namari',
Lin
