Anon reviews occasionally upset my soul.

Sat Jul 11, 2009, 10:48 PM
Someone left an anonymous review on Storm that I'd really like to respond to, but obviously can't because it's anonymous. And I'd have way too much to say in response, so I can't post it inside the fic because that would just be annoying for readers. Errrrgh.

Please, for the love of all that's holy, if you're ever going to leave someone a story review with a lot of comments, LEAVE THE AUTHOR A WAY TO CONTACT YOU SO THEY CAN RESPOND.

thanks for the fav! :heart:
I just realized something: upon rereading the LoTR books (for like the five hundreth time), I came across a line where Saruman calls himself "ring-maker"...that's never referred to again, but it got me thinking...what if Saruman had made a ring to control Grima? It is possible...don't you think?

Someone suggested that awhile back (the person who wrote the Manual for Operating Your Personal GRIMA WORMTONGUE, which is not the actual title of the fic, but it's something along those lines). I haven't ever run with that train of thought because in general Grima seems to be acting of his own free will, especially given the promise of a prize (Eowyn) if he did his work well. If Saruman was using a ring to control Grima, then the promise of Eowyn at the end of the line would be completely unnecessary; Grima would have no choice but to obey. I think Grima knew what he was doing.

The author of the aforementioned fic said that she thought Grima was wearing a ring on one of his fingers, but the scene and cap she pointed out looked to me like the ring of fabric wrapped around his middle finger that brings his sleeves to a point, rather than an actual ring.

Still, it is an intriguing thought, isn't it? :D

Have you noticed all the surprisingly positive references to Grima in TTT? There's a section when they're marching to Helm's Deep where Grima has an unknown supporter, and a section where Theoden says he wishes Grima and Gandalf were both there to advise him. Those sections make me ridiculously happy, and they're not even that important. XD

I know! It makes me even more sure that Tolkien at least thought that Grima could've been redeemed....*sighs*. It does kind of fit in with the Judeo-Christian themes he had going on...still, I wish Grima had a better ending....him and Eowyn running off together instead of her being stuck with boring ol' Faramir.

Also, my cousin Russ has a new ferret, a spunky little blonde female, and after seeing her in action, I suggested a name for her: Eowyn (his other ferrets are named Frida, Faramir, and Boromir). She's already established herself as alpha female, just like her namesake XD Now all he needs to do is get a sable one named Grima....*smirks*

And btw, have you read this fic? It combines LoTR and Discworld with pure hilarity:

I hope Tolkien thought that. It seems like it, sometimes, but a lot of other times it's like, "Nope. Nope. He hates Grima. Sad day."

I take comfort in the fact that I can live out my feelings in fanfic. :D

Haha, that's awesome! Sounds like she's taking after her namesake nicely.

I haven't read the fic, but I'm going to now! XD Thanks for the link.
