Thank you so very much for letting me know that you enjoy my stories! I really appreciate it. I mostly posted stories in the order that I wrote them, so I'm not sure how closely that correlates to any sense of rhyme or reason, though I did my best when I was reposting here.
I started writing with the intention of developing a long Faramir story, and that is still my intention. It just turned out that to write about Faramir, my muse decided that I had to think a lot about the background of Aragorn, and Arwen, and Imrahil, and everyone else whom Faramir needs to interact with, in order to write that story about Faramir. And then I needed to think about those characters' parents, and some of their important ancestors. So I ended up writing a lot of stories, figuring out what I needed to know about the people who raised Aragorn, etc., so that I would be able to write these other characters interacting with Faramir.
I've gotten to the point where I'm trying to return to Beginnings & Endings (B&E), which is the story during which that duel and Legolas and Faramir's trip into Mordor take place. I'm working on an immediate prequel, "The Road to Barad-Dur and Back Again," and after I've finished and posted that, I'm going to finalize and post Chapter 3 of B&E, and keep working on B&E with just occasional diversions to continue other storylines and character development. So, in short, I will get to the duel and the trip into Mordor, it's just taken much longer than I would ever have expected.
Thank you again for your interest, and letting me know that you're enjoying the series. I always love to hear that! And feel free to email me if you'd like to read the notes for the duel and the trip into Mordor. I'm always happy to have input on stories that are in the process of being written as well.
