: All the time, there would be someone new added in by your chapter's. It would've been much more clear if just the principle players were put in, not this constant intros of Krede, Joe, Quint, Tom Bombadil, Mikal, and the fan-fic Indiana Jones family

Well, I didn't introduce Krede or Joe (Indiana Jerico did) or the fan-fic Indiana Jones family (Tessa did... although I had old Indiana Jones mention his late-wife Kate once). Mikal only appeared in the final chapters, Tom Bambadil had to be introduced as our guide in Valinor, and Quint... well, someone had to replace Brett as the Phoenix Group's top computer specialist (it was your decision to have Brett run off, remember?)! :)

: Okay, Shorty always pictures himself about ten years younger than us in the story. That's his vision. I like to think of the story as us in REAL ages, it makes it easier for me to invision everything,

I had originally pictured it the way you did... that everyone was his/her own age like in real life. But someone (I can't remember who... it might have been either Indiana Jerico or Indy) said that some of the characters were older than in real life. Whichever... :)

: (and let's stray from the LoTR stuff a little to avoid redundancy and not everyone knows the series quite like you do).

Well, I'm not the one who inserted 'The Lord of the Rings' into the storyline (although I was/am definitely not against it)... thank your buddy Aragorn (in real life) for that (Chapters 6 & 16, remember?). Also thank Deirdre and Indiana Jerico for focusing everything and explaining how Theoden's Spear spearhead was one of the keys to Valinor (Chapters 40-43). Sorry to break it to you, Brett, but I just followed along with what was written before.

: and Chapter 64 felt a little too contrived.

I don't know... I didn't write that Chapter. We're still trying to figure out who did (apparently, Meg denies writing it)! :D

In my opinion(if anyone cares) the meaning of the last chapter is left of to the reader.Just read my "interesting"post above to see how.NM Meg 19:14:42 10/16/99 (15)

      - That also goes for critisizing (I spelled this wrong)other people's stuff, in which you have done. So before you can ask your opinions to be respected you should show some respect to others!!!!!NM Meg 20:37:04 10/18/99 (4)

        Ok then I will. Why is everyone is so touchy these days? If someone didn't like my work, I wouldn't get all mad about it. If someone didn't like my fan fic, I wouldn't get mad. (nm) Brett (Maverick) Lambert 07:10:25 10/19/99 (0)
