| This was really a creative idea! I like the way you matched the rhythm and rhyme patterns to the dwarf song Tolkien wrote (maybe that's why ellisk thinks it's familiar?)...it just puts you in mind of the dwarves right away. Your progression of ideas flows very well, and the writing seems almost effortless, unforced. Nice job! |

| This was very cute...I love reading stories about little Estel, and I think that you've pretty well captured the mischievousness of such a clever youngster. And the way you've written Gandalf's part is exactly like him, smiling enigmatically while Estel is talking about his impression of wizards. Is there another story about Estel's revenge for the "vase incident"? If not, you should write one...I think it would be highly amusing. |

| This fic was very touching...just the right amount of...well, everything. You really (and I know I'm just repeating what other people have said) managed to say quite a lot in so few words. The reader gets into Boromir's head very well. Very nicely done! |

| Yes, the twist got me too...I read it again and saw all the hints you had dropped along the way, but since I wasn't really looking for one along the way...Well, all in all it made perfect sense. Nicely written! |

First thought that struck me as I was reading this: Les Miserables. Even though I haven't read the book, I know the musical pretty much by heart (and there's a poster of it by my computer) and this story is very close to it. I read some of the lines and as soon as I saw the first few words my mind automatically set them to the music. I suggest that while the storyline shouldn't be altered (unless that's what you've been planning), you ought to alter the lines so that their source is not as obvious. And you might want to explain a little more about Haldir's becoming involved and why he was there in the first place.
Still, you have pretty good characterization and your words flow very well. Please don't think I'm trying to discourage you from finishing this story; contunue your work! |

This story is, quite simply, a work of art. I love how you keep characters like Snape in character (I couldn't agree with you more when you say that you hate it when characters like him turn into complete wusses). The interactions between Bronwyn and Snape are ever so realistic; you convey the complexities of human emotions very well. And your descriptions of the students, the ways that they interact, are such that it's almost like I'm reading it straight out of a Harry Potter book. You've stayed true to JK Rowling's narrative. I'd also like to mention your other story, "Empty Vessel" - one word: Wow.
There's just so much to talk about when it comes to Tel'Lindar, the majority of it good. For now let it suffice to say that you've written a rich and complex story and managed to interweave HP and LOTR very convincingly. I can't wait for the next update! |
