This is really mean. I stopped ticking off the parallels to my own OC at number four Shocked smiley face

and instead began to focus on how I would go about writing a pre Beren Luthien fic about the roots of arts and crafts and how to make a pipeweed bong out of one of Uncle Manwe's miruvor bottles and the subsequent discovery of her own bendiness. Then I'm going to write a spin-off fic of the Luthien one about the amazing lives of the Naugrim, a crafty people who don't seem to expect much of anything. And of course, the companion cookbook, How To Bake The Perfect Souflee In The High Pressure Altitude of Taniquetil. Wow, this lil fic is just a teeming with plot bunnies. ROFL smiley face

You truly are my hero, now leave Anaiel alone!

In Some Corner... · Thu May 05, 2005 9:02 am

Space, this is gut wrenching, sad and beautifully worded. Really speaks to how war stops for nothing and not one death means more than any other to the opposition. How tragic.

Of Fathers and Sons · Wed Apr 27, 2005 7:38 pm

Ugh, what a way to get your feet wet Kendra, very nicely done. Very painful imagery but appropriate. Just picturing him at the last unable to relinquish the object of his torment. Man, that's sad.

Those Who Challenge The Dead ... · Wed Apr 27, 2005 7:29 pm

Yay, I was so thrilled to see that you chose Earnur here. I'm currently studying and writing on the battle of 1975 in my wip and man, I just love when he comes sailing into the Bay of Lhun with the mighty fleet of Gondor. I am going to do my best to make him fantastico! Eanur was quite a guy and doesn't get enough recognition because of the whole Glorfindel thing that followed. And not even later, after he becomes king, is it often mentioned in ficdom the fate of the last monarch. It just tears me up when I think of this story and you sure did it a wonderful turn here. Bravo! Such a talent for bringing poetry into everything you write. I'm really beginning to appreciate what a gifted way you have with the subtle turn of phrase. I'm also learning that beyond the surface of the quick read-through is something one must slow down and savor in order to truly appreciate.

Dead · Wed Apr 27, 2005 7:02 pm

I'm with Nancy in that this made me think, although of a different question. I wonder how much clarity of thought he was allowed at the very last, and if he were allowed to see the reality of what he'd done, would he have felt relieved to know that Faramir would live or more despair thinking that he'd only survived to die or suffer a terrible fate at the hands of Sauron. Hmm, what a tragic, haunting last thought you have given him here. But when looked at from the perspective that the alternative could have been worse, that he could have died ultimately not knowing the fate of his younger son, it just makes the thought that he was finally doing the right thing by Faramir, even more beautiful. Just brought tears to my eyes.

I Never Hated You · Wed Apr 27, 2005 11:28 am

Awww, how sad, Borgie. A day late and a dollar short I guess. This is really interesting and unique. Of course, most of your stuff is because hobbits are sadly neglected. I really liked this.

A Life of a Nazgûl · Wed Apr 27, 2005 11:25 am

LMAO Too damn funny girl. 'Thought you were someone else.' Man, poor Nazgul eventually lose the joy of everything, including intimidating people. This was a nice giggle.

Interrupted Journeys: Part Three--Journeys Begin · Thu Apr 21, 2005 1:39 pm

Okay Space, don't feel so bad, I'm barely doing three here and we have negelcted our faithful pal Ellisk too long. I love the end of this chapter the best. The arrival of Thranduil is so beautiful. I'm going to keep this brief so I can get back to my reading, but I have always loved and admired your style and your Thranduil most of all.

The Light I Hate; The Darkness I Love · Wed Apr 20, 2005 7:42 pm

Wow Lis, this is really dark and lovely. I love the way it sucks you in, kinda wished I could see in the dark and hang out for a bit to check it out. You always evoke such powerful images with your writing. Good work, again.
