I'm Your Pain When You Can't Feel · Mon Apr 23, 2007 4:27 am

Binks, this shows Finrod's loyalty to the end, not sure of what Beren will have to endure, even before he dies, he simply tries. This is a great answer to the challenge!

Ah politics, schemes, love, intrigue, lust.... but what is Turgon really thinking? I told you before, it just seems like he lets his lords discuss what he already decided in a very clever way. I love the ending, gods Trek, that was so powerful. I just got the fuzzies when Glorfindel and Elrilya talked about kids. I just felt that I wanted to burst in and hug both. This is just great writing and superb storytelling!

All Lies and Jest · Wed Apr 18, 2007 4:11 pm

I know I already reviewed this elsewhere, but Jael: this is a fantastic story. There is so much in this that even now I don't know where to begin. The intimacy, the short insight in family relations, the decision making of a ruler, the tragedy... very compact, grandly written!

These beautiful short vignettes emanates a certain calm, love for each other. It feels like short dips into their lives, we get an intimate sight in their thoughts and emotions. It is beautifully paced and written with so much love for the characters. This combined with a wonderful narrative... thank you for sharing these Isil!

Sam's Commitment · Fri Mar 30, 2007 6:31 am

Sam is really speaking here, I can seem him following Frodo, telling himself why again he is doing this. The small touches upon Samwise-like sayings like Pack of trouble makes this drabble great!

Cursed Commitment · Mon Mar 26, 2007 3:22 pm

Very nicely drabbled, compact and the mixed emotions are there. I feel for the mother.

I know I already rambled enough about it to you personally, but these two drabbles are sublime: where the other thinks they deceive the other, the feeling is mutual. Even more so, what both so strongly believe in to be their righhteous path.. even they are deceived. This is just so greatly written: it is Gul Dukat or Kai Winn talking. Both characters have such a specific way in how they talk and think: this is just so well done! The language is vivid and rich, well timed and so so DS9!

Paradox of the Fourth Age · Sun Feb 18, 2007 7:47 am

Finally I found some time to catch up! Two complete different chapters, but both filled with tension. The impending and last battle on Middle Earth if Sauron wins, the memories of Galadriel as she flees the Grey Havens compared to Alqualonde... those are beautiful parallels. Sauron's evil and happiness that he finally got the chance to destroy Rivendell was just superb. The other chapter feels all about earning love and trust, this combined with the character of Elrohir that you write in this story, it just feels that you are happy to be on his side, with his temper and mistrust. Perhaps he just learnt the bad character traits of his mentor Glorfindel during his childhood Wink smiley face

Now come on girl! Bring on the battle to kick some Corsairs ass!

The Price of Love · Wed Feb 14, 2007 2:47 pm

He heard a mother’s love for her child in her quiet voice. It echoed in his own heart, touching the love he had for Gilraen, his beloved daughter. Her happiness was all that mattered. She loved Arathorn.

This piece is just so powerful in the quiet manner you tell this story. The father's grief, the worries of a mother: it al balances out when you place true and honest love at the other side of the scale. What must prevail: the greater good of Arda or the impending grief of three peope involved? This is really nicely put down and it is filled with poignant moments, which also gives us as the reader insight in how much Ivorwen and Dírhael loved each other.

Sweet Torment · Thu Feb 08, 2007 8:15 am

Oh this is such an intense Ronon drabble: very sensual and tragic at the same time. Beautiful Do!
