At The Havens · Thu Dec 22, 2005 9:42 am

I'm always kind of wary of Legolas 'family' fics, just as so many people have partners for him etc, but this one was very lovely and felt in keeping with the original texts, and though I'm not a Legolas expert by any means (in fact I've spelled his name wrong twice whilst typing this), this seemed to fit very well with my view of him from reading the trilogy. As Ellisk says, it is nicer to think of him having some sort of family, rather than being alone.

I also liked the language - romantic and pretty enough to get the point across but not overly flowery.

Dust On My Saddle (Drabble) · Sun Dec 18, 2005 10:07 am

Good work. Have to say I'm not that keen on Westerns (having grown up with a 'Bonanza'-obsessed mother) but this was funny. Took me a minute to figure who the guy was, but when I did, it all made sense and I found it even funnier.

Kudos,

The Salt-Rose · Mon Dec 12, 2005 6:50 pm

Really interesting start, and I did like the image of Legolas at the beginning. I'm not an expert and I have to say he's not my favourite character (though I have nothing against him) but it did seem very *in character* to me, or to my idea of Legolas. His change of opinion seemed to happen so suddenly, so it will be interesting maybe to see more exploration of that, and see how you develop this, how he gets on with the Haradrim.

This had a really 'fresh' quality to it, although I'm not really sure how to properly describe that - simply that you did a fantastic job of conveying Eowyn and the poem provided a very fitting introduction.

Even when I know how amazing a writer you are, you still manage to catch me by surprise with the wonderful language and the way you can craft emotions with words. The last lines choked me up. Once again, fantastic work.

Nice drabble. I've always been interested in the Nazgul and what motivated their choices (hence half my story list almost being Nazgul-related Wink smiley face

). Nice to see someone tackle the Witch King.

The Letter · Tue Dec 06, 2005 6:05 pm

A nice piece - that particular subject is difficult to handle without being overly despairing or angsty but I think you pulled it off. Only one point about your summary - it's 'Valinor' rather than 'Valinar'. But generally an interesting drabble. Thanks for sharing.

Letters in the sand · Mon Dec 05, 2005 6:29 pm

That's such an original idea, the way you've paced / plotted this piece. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but that came as a very pleasant surprise (different structures, imaginative approaches really do it for me Wink smiley face

) As for the writing itself, it had a lovely, lyrical quality so fitting for Maglor, but with that darker edge. Inspired, Rhaps, seriously.

To Become a Queen · Fri Dec 02, 2005 6:06 pm

I have to say I haven't read any of the other stories in this series, but I came across this on the Latest Stories page, and I must say I enjoyed the read so far. I particularly liked the idea of Lothiriel as a healer, and felt that gave a nice depth to the character.

An Offer Not To Be Refused · Mon Oct 10, 2005 5:24 pm

I wasn't actually aware of the other story but I am now tempted to check it out. I like the beginning of this; the language is very readable and the characters are nicely drawn. I did like the opening scene and also the interplay between Aragorn and Eomer.
