Of Pregnant Queens, and Fathers to Be · Thu Aug 11, 2005 9:15 am

Agree with all the other reviewers. As a recently new father I will add that you nailed the fatherly confusion, fear (of the mother and for the mother), expectation and joy. I laughed at Lotheriel's cursing... brought back ironically fond memories.

I even teared up a little remembering the birth of our child.

Very. Well. Done.

LaCE? What LaCE! It's good to be the King...err Prince... err Lord... you get the idea.

Very steamy. Nice imagery.

Duty's Call : Tale 3- The Glorfindel Chronicles · Tue Jul 26, 2005 12:50 pm

Ditto.

This is a review for all the G chronicles also.

I really like how you have captured elven longevity. Gave it more depth and realism than most fanfics. And that an adult male and female can be in the same room alone and not jump each other, though the wicked side of me wanted them to.

I also enjoy your style of writing, easy to read and nice easy rhythm and flow. I am hoping you will continue to add stories.

Wickedly funny, and not forced.

First, eww.

And second, Gandalf the Valey Girl, Like Oh My God!

Brilliant

Clever idea, clever delivery, clever and in character punchline

I Love Viv.

Wicked, wicked sense of humor.

Red velvet walls.

I'll be chuckling for days

Interesting subject matter. Like how you potrayed her blindness.

I enjoyed reading it and am now pondering what happened to the refugees.

The wedding custom · Thu Jun 23, 2005 11:50 am

Ha! Poor thing. I like how you got her embarassment and Eomer's nonchelance (is that a word?) dead on.

What Better Companion? · Thu Jun 23, 2005 11:46 am

Let the gush begin:

"Even amongst the Eldar, often there were scars. Some marks of battle stubbornly refused to fade, long after the wounds themselves had healed, as though some part of the fëa forbade them to disappear utterly. A reminder, perhaps, that longevity did not equate to invulnerability"

Genius, Spacey, genius.

Your imagery was outstanding

I don't think I have read a piece that captures how I think Valinor would feel (for lack of a better word) better than this. I like how you portrayed Olorin, enough Gandalf to be familiar, and enough Olorin to be unique. I like how you captured his unfamiliarity with flesh and his fascination with it, Elves and other living things.

I liked the reference to the wisdom Glorfindel gained, like appreciating his surroundings, etc. The reference to the thoughts of Eru in everything was another stroke of genius.

At first I did not like Glorfindel being the only one released (there is at least one who IMHO might have been released earlier, but that's just me I think and it would detract from the story), but as I read I appreciated that fact, made his and Olorin's conversation more dramatic, gave it more meaning.

Thought provoking and very entertaining.

Thanks for posting it.
