What? No Haldir smut? Shocked smiley face

Sorry

ops:

This was quite a beautiful glimpse of Denethor, and a said contrast of what he was and what he became. Heartbreaking for Faramir to hearken back to before his father's madness set in, and to know, in his wisdom, that men died because of that same madness. All done in your typically lovely and subtle prose. No word wasted, it is absolutely hauntingly beautiful, Roh.

Paradox of the Fourth Age · Thu Jan 19, 2006 1:04 pm

Okay, I finally finished catching up on this, thank Emily for that, and instead of chapter by chapter, (I had too many to catch up on, I have no shame), I have alot of general impressions. The main impression, and the thing that I still struggle to comprehend, is this...How on god's green earth does someone go from writing the stuff I used to beta for you, to this absolutely beautiful, well written story in a mere year's time. With the exception of Binka, I have never seen such an amazing transition in such a short period of time. I am amazed, proud as shit, and tickled to death for you and your success with this story. You have come so far, parts of this are sheer genius, other's nothing short of poetic and you actually only change voice when you intended to, lol. I love you so much Shmoo and nothing makes me happier than to see you getting the kudos you deserve for your work. With the exception of "those days", I know you write for the love of the process and there is no one on earth more fun to collab with than you. You have such a well place finger on the pulse of your girl, you make her so un Mary Sue-ish in a very Mary Sue mined territory. You're subtle where you need to be and heavy handed when it is required. You may have lacked the skills for a bit, but you certainly have alway had the talent for this kind of work. Although anyone can learn the mechanics in a years time, you don't grow an imagination like this in any length of time. You are born with it and it is a gift you have been well blessed with. Now, you have an entire weekend without certain people...okay a certain person, monopolizing all of your time, so write a new chapter... Very Happy smiley face

I simply bow. This literally took my breath away and instantly brought me to tears. I was totally expecting another fond rememberance of Frodo and was utterly taken aback. This is beautiful, breathtaking and gutwrenching all at the same time. You simply can not be out done in the drabble, my friend. Stunning.

Oooh girl, your Maeglin's a really mean guy. I'm still enjoying this as much as I ever did and I'm so glad to be able to get caught up on reading and reviewing. I totally understand where you are right now in your writing. Trying to write a story you love and have so much invested in and still give equal time to your new discovery, Finarfin. No one gives him a more brilliant voice. But I have to say here, you lend equal brilliance to your Maeglin. He was just perfect. I can't wait to see where this all leads in the end and can only hope to encourage you to keep going. Remember, being my mentor you have the responsibility of setting the example by finishing the story, lol. Thanks for three wonderful chapters. Oh, and the tension you built for the whole bear hunting scene was just brilliant, my dear!

This was very cute, Sivan. There are some really touching moments of fatherly love for Estel and others of the complete adoration of a father for his son. I really enjoyed reading the interaction of the two. Very sweet.

Oh Lydia, I just hit your profile to send you a thank you note and saw the intriguing title of this drabble. It was not at all what I thought, but dear lord, it is utterly beautiful. Imagine Tolkien with The Book, hunkering down during a seige and unravelling the mysteries of Middle Earth. What a transporting experience that would have been. Brilliant and beautifully, hauntingly written. Nothing, "In your face", about it, just marvelously subtle and from anything I've read, an entire unique perspective on how he might have acquired the works. I loved this, just adored it.

Absolutely lovely. This took my breath away.

Tales From The Green Dragon, A Hobbit's Tall Tail. · Thu Dec 22, 2005 8:01 pm

Okay, finally got over here to review this wonderful thing. You know how much I enjoyed this and your incredibly clever way of finding your plot bunnies. That Hobbit-lass was unbelievably charming Very Happy smiley face

. Already I can see lots of growth in your work, Ottis and I'm glad you're sticking with it. It was truly a joy to watch this thing come together so wonderfully and its all very neatly wrapped and tied with a bow. Bravo, pal.

Fear and Loathing in Middle Earth · Thu Dec 22, 2005 7:54 pm

This is comic genius. When I read what you were taking on in the challenge forum, I about fell out of my chair. I really expected you to take the obvious course, Frodo and Sam as Raoul and Gonzo and felbeasts for bats, lol. I'm glad you didn't, this was fun and less expected.

Dust On My Saddle (Drabble) · Thu Dec 22, 2005 7:39 pm

I heard the theme from the good the bad and the ugly as I read, now I can't get the damn whistling outta my head. This was everything I expected when I saw what you had signed up for, and more.
