Seeking · Thu Feb 01, 2007 9:30 pm

Ouch, poor Aragorn. Very well done; you say a lot in just a few words, which is what drabbles are all about!

A Story of One Flood · Thu Feb 01, 2007 11:10 am

I do love this story! It's got everything: adventure, lessons learned, and affection between the family members. I know you were a bit worried about writing Boromir, but I think you pulled him off very well indeed! I'm so glad this story appeared in the zine!!

Certain Advantages · Mon Jan 08, 2007 10:08 am

Nifty! I'd completely forgotten that detail about Merry seeing Bilbo vanish earlier, and you've made excellent use of it. I especially like the bit about what a Brandybuck might feel makes him different from other hobbit families.

Only the Beginning · Tue Nov 07, 2006 1:34 pm

Aww, that's such a lovely, peaceful, hopeful scene. I like it very much. *happy sigh* It fits well with the painting too--thanks for the link!

The Stones' Lament · Mon Oct 23, 2006 10:36 am

A wonderful little story! I managed to miss it earlier somehow, so thank goodness for the "story of the day" feature. I especially like the early hint of how Legolas and Gimli come to be friends later.

Beyond the Sea · Fri Jun 02, 2006 10:05 pm

A very enjoyable collection of drabbles! The sea is certainly a rich theme. I like the varied voices.

The Message · Fri Jun 02, 2006 9:59 pm

That was very cute! Hardly angsty at all! Smile smiley face

THE DAWNING · Sun May 14, 2006 11:40 pm

What an interesting setting! And I really like comparing Maedhros' beauty to a sunset. This situation seems to offer so many possibilities for a sequel, or further chapters.

Finding the Right Words · Sun May 14, 2006 11:36 pm

I enjoyed this very much! I'll say publicly what I told you privately at the time--I think it's dignified, moving, and true to the flavor of the book. Very well done!

A Shirt for Legolas · Thu Mar 23, 2006 12:25 pm

This very cute story brought a smile to my face!

I'm actually not sure the fabric of Legolas' shirt is a mistake in the film. Middle-Earth isn't medieval Europe, after all, so I don't think we have to assume that they felt the same way about what makes a good piece of silk. Maybe the movie-Elves appreciate the natural look of the slubs. But that's sort of beside the point, which is that this ficlet is warm and fuzzy, and it could have happened this way!
