The Last Temptation of Imrahil · Sat Sep 04, 2010 3:05 pm

This is a nicely thought provoking piece. It's quite impressing how fast the two of them, Aragorn and Imrahil, settled things between them. With a slight rewording on my part it went (almost) like this:

Imrahil: "Ohoy Scruffy King of the North, I pledge fealty."

Aragorn: Namaste shiny prince with an elven ancestor. Nice, and you'll be acting Steward. That seems like a fair solution. Right then, wad'ya'say let's hunt some orc..

It might lead one to suspect they knew eachother beforehand Smile smiley face

But I'm really grateful for your comments and I'm sorry if I sounded argumentative.

Not at all. The only reason I answered, was because I wanted to clarify my position, and to make sure you didn't take it as a negative comment upon your piece, rather merely an observation.

Thanks for the comment. It's interesting that you got a great sense of anger from the piece as that's really not what I was 'hearing' so to speak as I was writing it. I was going a lot more for a kind of wry, almost ironic tone, so maybe I need to look at that again.

I suppose what gave me the impression that he was angry, was that a lot of what is written is in 2nd person. It is very direct and the cadence of the text is in some places a bit like a machine gun. rat tat ta ta tat. That and he swears. I really don't think you should change it. I think it works perfectly, as it is. And off course it is just my interpretation.

I agree. It is very well written and made me think long on a BBC documentary that I saw the other day. "The power of nightmares -The politics of fear" Though, I wonder whether the palpable anger that we see described in this superb piece really reflects Finchs somewhat flegmatic charachter, as he is described in the movie in any case?
But that is a minor comment on a tremendously thought provoking story. Thanks a lot Space Weavil.

This can turn out to be a wonderful story. It is very beautifully written and the two different narrators have a voice of their own. I'll be looking forward to where you are taking this.

Thank you very much for this gem of a story. It is beautifully written and terribly suspenseful. Also I am impressed by your characterization of Frodo. It just feels spot on.

This is a very well crafted story. I like the pacing, Estel's existetial thoughts regarding his name, and the conflict among the dunedain regarding their uncertain future.

Can't wait for an update

Cheers

Very amusing, and very vibrant. This story contains one of the best descriptions of an elf or elleth, as it were.

Very insightful and well written. Thank you for a great read! I must admit that I have grown a bit tired, shall we say, by the amount of Éomer fics floating around OSA lately, but this one makes me want to read more of them. Great work!

Mature, melancholic and steaming hot love. I like it. Very well written and utterly believable.
