Once in a Fair Green Country... · Mon Mar 28, 2005 3:57 am

Heh, drunk Elrond fell asleep and missed all the saddest stuff. Poor Gandalf, I just adore how you've portraying him here Space. I love this fic too.

The First Age of the Sun: Triumph · Sun Mar 27, 2005 4:54 pm

Man, this chapter just got me thinking of all the, "wait, but if Luthien marries Finrod..." Starting with, well sucky that Barahir's gonna save his ass. And...and...and what about the Silmaril, Beren has no reason to go get it now and Finrod won't help him even if he does...and OH MAN on down to, "but what about the twins?!?" Now I have the brain seizure inducing headache from hell. Props to you Inglor, this is a MAJOR undertaking. (I'm going to take a deep breath and read without speculating. I'll leave the hard part of figuring it all out in your capable hands).

And Celeborn and Gladdy, holy crap, do any of these primary age elves know about 'hard to get?' And poor Beleg has to go riding across the countryside with these four? lol, this is so great...too much stuff, wayyy too much stuff in one chap.

Oh my goodness, Inglor, your Luthien is cracking me up. For all her delicate beauty, she's as subtle as a mack truck! And the plumbing comment was too funny. Thingol must not be much of a naturalist if that's all the beauty he sees in Doriath. Kinda nice the way Finrod gets to go shopping for Nargothrond from the comfort of his own guest rooms too.

Celeborn in turn saw Luthien’s nearly imperceptible flush, saw the pulse quicken in her neck. What game is she playing, he thought.

Good to know I'm not alone here Cel.

Totally digging the parallels between the arrogance of the men and the way that they are in awe of their women too. Loving your wonderfully evocotive writing, I can just see your characters moving and reacting. One thing, too short. Update soon, this is more fun than naked twister!

Daeron's Lament · Sat Mar 19, 2005 5:51 pm

Wow Haleth, you've managed to set that tone of dark grief in the first few words. That always amazes me when a writer can so deftly set a mood. I'm hoping that my inability to attain that is due to my immaturity as a writer as opposed to lack of talent, cuz when I grow up, I want to be able to write like you. Very Happy smiley face

I love Daeron now, never really put much thought into him before this moment.

Beneath the Hollow Hill · Sat Mar 19, 2005 4:50 pm

Reading this reminded me why i am so intimidated by the idea of writing first age fics Haleth. I don't know if I could ever paint such an atmosphere with words. What a stunning portrayal of the grief and the depth of the fall of the Noldor. Utterly heartbreaking. I am quite partial to the metaphorical use of music in Tolkien fic and you used it vividly and beautifully. Wonderful job.

Bilbo's Regret · Thu Mar 17, 2005 4:54 am

Dear Lord TG, I think I may be overthinking this whole drabble thing. This was an absolutely lovely sentiment. How sad if Bilbo really felt that he failed Frodo. I never thought about that before. Very nice my dear.

Grey Havens · Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:11 am

Space! I'm so glad you decided to repost this one. I love this story and YOU HAD BETTER FINISH IT! I love everything about it and this was THE inspiration for me using Cirdan in Circle, though I don't think I ever told you that. I just love everything about him in this story and the next chapter is sooo soooo good, so hurry up and post. It'll be so speshul. And penguins. Very Happy smiley face

Crossroads of Time · Sat Mar 12, 2005 5:08 pm

*Sigh* Finally married. Can we have about 30 chapters of wedded bliss before you kill them all? Or maybe you could just send Maeglin into the future. If you do, send him to my house. I'm starting a reform school for psychotic first age elves. He'll be in good company, Feanor and Maedhros are already on step 3. Another lovely chapter my dear. And anyone reading this, go read Ellie's shorty, Does she or Doesn't she, its a stunner.

Does She or Doesn't She? · Fri Mar 11, 2005 7:52 am

Ellie, this is lovely. One of my favorite things about your writing style is that you make the Silmarillion more accessable for a general audience. I love that and I hope it gives people more of a nudge to read the book because there are so many wonderful stories to be added to and conjectured about. The one transition line about the brother was a bit of a stumble, easily missed when you know what you were trying to say and easily fixed with a well placed word or two. Otherwise, another gem honey, congrats.

Reason in Madness · Fri Mar 11, 2005 7:27 am

See this face? > wtf smiley face

< This is what is affectionately known here at osa as the wtf face. I'm reading, I'm thinking, ooh, I like her writing style. Read another sentence, ooh, a little intrigue. Read a bit more, good character voice so far, I think I could dig this story. Read a bit more.......................... wtf smiley face

(I'm quite famous for not reading directions ergo I had no idea it was simply the prologue). You must continue, I like what you have so far.

Rebirth · Thu Mar 10, 2005 5:30 pm

Oh Thu, This is absolutely wonderful. That is the very best 'first kiss' scene I have ever read. Needed to be a bit shorter...only because I was holding my breath the whole time and almost fell out of my chair for lack of oxygen. But I kid you. Not a wasted word in there darling. The pie scene was so endearing and her joy over such a simple thing really brought home how far she has come and how far she has yet to go. Your Thranduil is dead sexy girl. I usually don't read stories involving either Thranduil or Legolas as they have been pretty much spoiled for me by the movie (legolas) and crap fictions (both) so I am always thrilled to death to see either of them done well. Viv and Ellisk have managed this beautifully with the Legume, and you have absolutely outdone anyone with your Thranduil. I just adore this Thu, don't even think about not carrying on, I will hunt you down and tickle you until you finish it! lol Brilliant.
