THIS IS AN AUTHOR'S NOTE – PLEASE READ!

Or else you'll be very sorry…

Okay folks, the time has finally arrived – I've gone past the first movie already! Yeah I know, it's taken me a long time to get there! Now I know there are some people that haven't read the books and have just seen the movie, and therefore this note is for you.



DO NOT READ ON AHEAD IF:

You haven't read the book.

You don't want the rest of the book to be spoilt for you [hence the term "spoilers"].

You want to wait until the next movie for all to be revealed.

IF YOU ARE A LEGOLAS FAN – sorry guys, but this is a Frodo, Sam, Gollum and Casey story only.



DO READ ON IF:

You have read the book [perhaps twice, like me]

You are so in love with the story [hey, it's possible] that you don't care that there will be loads of spoilers ahead and you don't want to stop reading.

You don't care that the next movie is entirely spoilt by me.



A WARNING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK:

Okay, it is gonna be hard for me to adapt the entire book and somehow manage to fit Casey in there somewhere. So bear with me, okay? I don't have the brain of Peter Jackson! Also, I suspect that the next movie will turn out differently, as the great PJ will have interpreted it all in a different way to little old me.

I'm considering cutting out Faramir's bit, as he doesn't play that big a role in just my story. However, if any Faramir fans are against this, please say. If not, then say, "Bye, Bye" to Faramir – the ending of this story will come a lot sooner without him. Which would be a good thing, of course.

To help me condense the entire second book into about ten chapters, please send in some suggestions on which parts you'd like included and which parts you don't want.

Lastly, thank you to those wonderful peeps who have carried on reading this story from the very beginning in February [yes, since February!], and who have read my other fics too. You guys rock! Woohoo, I have 154 reviews! Wait, I ROCK! Thank you guys, you make my day everyday!

And I repeat, DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE A LEGOLAS FAN – THERE WILL BE NO LEGOLAS IN THIS STORY!! But he may turn up later. If I feel nice.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Now do your bit for society and press that purple button in that corner down there.

Love from Snowling, the Almighty Queen of Goldfish.
