Title: Chronicles of the Fifth Voyage of the Númerrámar: The Loremaster Arrives
Only you could find a way to incorporate the voyage of the HMS Beagle into Tolkien fanfic. Well done!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Ithilwen! I anticipate having fun with this. In The Elendilmir, I mentioned Mélamírë's treasured book (now in Sámaril's hands), which was written and illustrated by the naturalist who traveled with Tar-Aldarion so that seed engendered this fic. I give Darth all due credit for coming up with the naturalist's name so I ran with it from there.

Oh! An "appetizer"! And a very well written one, too :D I love the challenging idea of a scientist that turns out to be a woman. It's another in your rich "!verse" hint at the fact that in Tolkien's one, there are too few women that were graced with enough attention. Now it's high time we listened to what they want to say :)
Lovely story and an excellent gift for a friend. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Author's Response:
Robinka! My apologies for the inexcusably long time it took me to reply to this. My thanks are no less heartfelt though. I'm really glad you like this. I have so many darned irons in the fan fic fire that it might be a while before I get back to this, but Darwen (and the subject of her studies) certainly is of keen interest to me!
Thanks so much for reading!

Interesting set-up to a story of which I hope to see more.
Darwin Wedgewood; er Darwen Toanehte is a surprising character who will certainly rock young Anardil's boat!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much, Raksha, for having another read, the comments and for your assistance. Yes, I'm hoping that GA and I will be able to address this story in the future. I think this has potential if I don't say so myself! However, GA has to get young Aragorn out of danger in "Sword" and Sámaril has been yammering at me of late, too! But Darwen and Isilmë, for that matter, are two characters who will not go away, I suspect.
Thanks again!

Oh, what a clever idea of a plot, so full of possibilities. And the names are brilliant - I particularly like the Wedgewood detail! I imagine the trip will be memorable for all concerned... Look forward to reading more.

Author's Response: Thank you so much, Russandol! I had a lot of fun writing this. :^) It likely will be a while before Gandalf's Apprentice and I will be able to address this, but this is a taste of what we have in mind.

I absolutely adore this. I love the nod to Darth's universe. I love that the naturalist was 'in favor' with the king because of the tableware (Wedgewood!), that was a lovely little detail. The fact that the naturalist is a woman was wonderful, and her name? Heeeee.
Wonderful stuff!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Steel! This was a lot of fun to write, and I hope GA and I will be able to continue this in the future. And while writing, I had your "Far Side of the World" sailing around in my head, too.
