Until Light Returns · Wed Jun 08, 2005 10:06 am

The thing that really struck me from this was the comparison between the light on Greenwood and that of the Two Trees. I've always had difficulty imagining the sheer scale of the Trees, and how important they were in Valinor, but I thought in that short line, you managed to get across a sense of that, and of how the elves who hadn't seen the light might have always wondered about it. I also liked the idea of Thranduil's first glimpse of the wood being his motivation for continuing all those years. It made sense to me, as I've always thought Thranduil's patriotism, as it were, and love of his realm shone through even in The Hobbit when he was being, well, a little crotchety.

This was wondefully atmospheric right from the outset. I had an idea of where you might be going with this from the summary and then the first line just set the scene beautifully. Amazing how in 100 words you could portray the pride Denethor and Ecthelion had in their heritage and position, and also create a rather creepy atmosphere, knowing what the Palantir would mean to Denethor in later years and the effect it would have on him. Honestly, when I read pieces like this it just makes me so sad that Denethor's portrayal in the movies was so different in ways to the books. He is such an multifaceted character, and I'm just so impressed that you could get that across in so short a space.

I really like this. you've managed to capture what I would think of as Melkor's voice really well. This was funny and disturbing and creepy all at once, which is a great thing to achieve in 100 words only. Excellent Very Happy smiley face

Payback · Fri Jun 03, 2005 11:49 am

I told you this before, but I shall tell you again (I sound like my mother saying that...anyway...) I really liked this. Nice and subtle, which is how I like my humour, and deliciously evil. Even if you don't continue this particular storyline, the idea of the rivalry in general between the twins could be worth exploring.

Descent into Madness · Sat May 28, 2005 3:01 pm

I really like your writing style generally, and this idea is extremely interesting. I don't think I've ever read a Smeagol-centric story and so I'm really looking forward to seeing your take on his story. Already you've added a lot of depth to the character we already know, and I'm pleasantly looking forward to more. Very Happy smiley face

Roman Nights · Sat May 28, 2005 2:59 pm

This is such a nice little scene. It'd even be great if you 'expanded' it and still included it in Trees Remember in fact. You've managed to get such a sensuous atomsphere into so few words. Great! Very Happy smiley face

Fit For a King · Thu May 26, 2005 4:14 pm

Very nice, Vilwarin. Great that you could fit such a nice scene into 100 words.

Excellent, Thur. Nerdanel's not a character I've ever really looked at in depth but you really made her come alive, and the little glimpse into her mind was truly haunting. It's amazing to see the events of the Silmarillion through her eyes. Great.

A Tale of the Sixth Age · Mon May 23, 2005 2:14 pm

Thanks everyone once again, and sorry it's taking a while to update at the moment. Hopefully after this week, things will slow down in RL for a few months and I will be able to concentrate fully on my stories here. I hate it when reality tries to interfere with my LOTR time.

But your support, encouragement and patience really means a lot. Thanks Very Happy smiley face
