I am just working on my latest chapter,which I hope to post later tonight, and found the following error. She was right; all they could afford to think about now was restoring Aragorn ‘s health and rightful statues.I had no idea that the King was so keen on sculpture (or that the rebels were interested in taking statues down)! ;D I did ofcourse,mean status !

Art thieves! Did the authorities recover Aragorn's replica of "The Scream", too?

I was reading through my printed copy of "Burden of Guilt" earlier and came across Aragorn telling Faramir this. "I will leave some slave for you to put on your leg if you still need it. And please no bowing when I return!” I do not think Eowyn would be very pleased ! ;DI'm cross with myself for making such a silly mistake but can at least see the funny side of it !

I've been having problems with my one hand so I've been trying to type without using my right index finger. Anyway, I just made the most glaring typo ever! I was attempting to type Faramir and somehow ended up with Fartamir! OMG!

Yeah, my Word doesn't like Faramir's name either, but at least it appropriately highlighted Fartamir as well. My hand is doing somewhat better, Linda, thanks.

The seven-year-old boy in me just wet his pants laughing. By the way, if you're tired of Word trying to switch around names when you're writing fanfic, it is possible to add them to Word's dictionary. You can even get Word to correct them automatically when you've misspelled them, which is handy when I don't feel like adding accents...

I have just excelled myself for crazy typos. I joined www.lotrfanfiction.com/the other day and posted one of my stories there.I just went back to see if I'd any reviews only to find I'd called the story "Fist Meeting" ! It puts a whole new light on Aragorn and Faramir's first encounter somehow, ;Dthe mind boggles !I'm just going to change it now.

Thanks,Lucidity.It sounds as if they came to blows doesn't it? Something on the lines of. Faramir opened his eyes and said,Who are you?" "Your King," Aragorn replied. "But I rule here,"said Faramir, "Get lost!" A succesion of blows were exanged,neither man being willing to yield. ;D I did have a critic on Ficwad claiming this story was too close to the book.Maybe they would prefer this version?I Would rather have Tolkien's and my own.

I would love to read, your version, Eggos.Especially in the films,as the H of H scene isn't shown, one does wonder if Faramir's reaction to Aragorn could be like this !
