I believe that you've conveyed the complexity of this situation (frankly, I don't envy the House of Finwe and never will) perfectly. This is one big mess, isn't it? The rift between the brothers, plus the conflict within the family, and Melkor's machinations to further estrange the people loyal to Feanor and those devoted to Fingolfin. Add the women to the mixture, and you have war at your doorstep, no?
That said, I love how you portrayed Fingolfin as the calmer, but still conflicted man, leader and a loving and loyal son. Feanor -- well, there is an accurate line about him in your story. He acts like a child -- takes his toys and leaves the playground, sort of. But he one who disappoints the most in the whole scheme of things is in my opinion Finwe. He seems weak and backs off when he should stand up and yell, 'I am the king, damn it!'. That might have even saved his life later on.
Well written, interesting story, Al. Thanks a lot for sharing. |

| You've conveyed bitterness and disappointment effectively in this piece. Well done! |

| Thanks, at least up till J.C clears how in the universe mankind can even survive the kind of mess he depicted in the movie. This is as accurate as it gets. |

| The style was experimental; I thought it was cheesy in the first draft... but time makes all things less embarrassing! Thank you, RobinKa. ^_^ |

| This is a lovely, well written glimpse at Faramir and Eowyn. You packed a lot into 100 words. Well done! |

| Thank you for reviewing this, Binka. Not only has it being the Story Of The Day brought it to you, but it's brought it back to me, too. I am glad you liked it. |

LOLOLOL!
What an accurate poem! Poor Thingol  I can so relate. I could never tell Fingon from Finrod either. But no Cirdan around to help me with figuring out who was who. Eh.
Keep 'em coming. Great job! |

It was written just as much for me as for Thingol. I never could remember whether Fingon or Finrod is Galadriel's brother. And it's always wild to rediscover she has three (or was it four? bother) other brothers besides Finrod... Thank you, RoinKa!!  |

| This is a lovely, warm look at the two Sindarin giants of Tolkien's universe "in retirement". Greatly done! Thank you for sharing. |

| Tolkien left so very much up to the imagination after the end of the Ring War. These were people who had lived for Ages - what happened to them then? I'd like to think a few hung around... Thanks - glad you liked it. |
