What a nice story!  You have a deft touch with the decription of sailing.  I hope you've done a lot of it.  Sigh.  I'm feeling very nostalgic for sailboats and want to run Cirdan down on the dock.  No such luck on the Great Lakes!

Thanks, Gwynnyd!  As you know, I was a little uncertain about the whole thing!

I haven't done much sailing, though what I have is exactly as described in the story.  I also didn't mention the Dramamine Anna popped before embarking...

I got "Jack" to vet the story for sailing faux pas, and had been pestering him over the past month with small detail questions.  I think he was rather taken aback to find himself inserted in the tale!

In my personal AU, I think you can get to the Straight Road from Lake Superior.  Just sayin...

Playlists Featuring the Story

JunoMagic's Birthday Stories Playlist 2006 - 5 stories - Owner: JunoMagic
It's so amazing, I got stories with multiple chapters dedicated to my birthday this year! As you can't really add those to an ordinary birthday card story, I've decided to make a playlist for those stories. Here's what I asked for: I'm turning 31 on October 23, and here's my wish: I'd like to see characters from "Lord of the Rings" in our world. So that would be (depending on your interpretation of what Middle-earth is) a drabble/ficlet that crosses time and/or dimensions. The only caveat: please no parody or something like that! (For one thing, that would be too easy *wink*; for another, my husband says I have no sense of humour to begin with...). If that idea inspires anyone at all, I would be very grateful!
Included because: Drummerwench invited me to read one of her WIPs for my birthday, and it's a wonderful story that crosses time and place... Thank you again!

I will not, I think, be a very prolific writer. But for what I do write, this is the place to discuss it.
