To Become a Queen · Fri Dec 02, 2005 11:05 pm

I LOVE this story. Your characters have such depth and it is SO well written.

And Amrothos...dear lord, what a crack up. Some of his lines remind me of Oscar Wilde. Maybe that's intentional or I'm just reading too much into this, but reading this chapter, Oscar Wilde popped into my mind. I also like how you made Elphir a not so open-minded person, entering the element of Gondorian snobbery into her own family. It adds a more realistic and sobering, although irksome, effect to the story.

I'm very much looking forward to the next installment. It should either be a nice break from or a nice present after finals and papers. Smile smiley face

....Updates???

Just dropping a quick line to say that there are still some of us who want to see how this story ends and are still waiting for the next installment. This is a wonderful story and your characterization is great. I hope all is well with you and that we can have an update soon. Smile smiley face

A Bride for a King · Tue Nov 01, 2005 3:29 pm

I've been looking forward to this installment and you certainly didn't disappoint. Very well written and it was a nice touch adding Lothiriel's true reaction after her brother's left - it's nice to know she's doesn't always keep up her facade. It was also nice to see Eomer's consideration of her thoughts/desires about the situation.

As usual, looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for not keeping us hanging for too long with this installment. Smile smiley face

You ARE alive!! Very Happy smiley face

Just joking. Smile smiley face

But seriously, it's so wonderful to have an update!! I had almost forgotten about this story, but was so happy to see the e-mail in my mailbox telling me about the new chapter.

Very well done. I agree with the others, nicely done reaction on Lothiriel's part and thank you for letting her keep her dignity and not letting her give in to her desire. I also hope you can bring Eomer back soon. I hate having to see Lothiriel suffer by herself - not entirely by herself, with Elfhelm there and all, but Eomer's really the only one who can truly comfort her.

Again, thanks for the update and please don't make us wait so long next time. I mean, we will (judging by how many reviews have been added today alone), but we'd rather not. Wink smiley face

I'm looking forward to the next installment. Smile smiley face

I...ah...how....wha....grrrr! I know you warned us, but how incredibly evil and mean! I refuse to believe that you killed him - you can't kill him. Ah! Update as quickly as possible please, this was a mean and evil cliff hanger. And on that note, bravo to you for having the guts to do this to your readers and to get such reactions from us - well done. Smile smiley face

But please update soon! Smile smiley face

This is a wonderful story! I love how you've made it realistic in that she's not head over heels in love with him just because he's her husband. It's a realistic approach to an arranged political marriage and I like how you made Lothiriel a woman with a mind of her own. And the quick updates are wonderful, as others have mentioned. I hate waiting for long periods of time for updates to stories I enjoy! Also, your writing is wonderful. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Smile smiley face

Homecoming · Wed Feb 02, 2005 10:29 pm

I love your stories. I read all four of them, but since I'm a bad reader, this is the only one I've reviewed. (I would put an oops smiley here, but it doesn't seem to be working, so OOPS)

And I second the notion that you should add to this storyline. Your works are so well written and the plots are great; I hope you write more soon about these two. I don't usually pay much attention to this pair (as many don't, judging by the lack of F/E stories) but your stories are making me think I should change this.

Again, wonderful writing, great characterization, and I look forward to more. Smile smiley face

Hey there. Just popping quick question concerning updates. I love this story, the original and sequel. Almost every time I'm at my computer I find myself wondering if Willa's gotten what's coming to her yet, but alas there aren't updates. I hope all is well and if you're suffering from writer's block, may the plot bunnies come hopping toward you soon! Can't wait to read more! Smile smiley face

A Battle of a Different Kind · Sun Jan 02, 2005 12:14 pm

This is a good story, but your dashes across the top are too long for those of us with a 15-inch screen. I had to copy the text and paste it into Word (don't worry, I'm not pirating or doing anything you should worry about with your story, I just wanted to read it Smile smiley face

) to read it without having to scroll over to read the end of each sentence. Other than that, this is an interesting look at the brother-sister relationship between these two and the last battle Eowyn has to fight puts a good perspective on her situation. Well written, just please don't do such long dashes in the future. Smile smiley face

Cute story. I liked the image of the usually powerful, in control, and action-oriented Aragorn feeling so helpless and a fish out of water in the sense that he can't do anything. I also wondered about the present tense. It threw me off and perhaps that was the purpose? As I said a cute story but it would have been all the better if past tense had been used. Smile smiley face
