I liked the way you intertwined the opposing ideas of death and survival and also thought the last two sentences were very good. Did you have any specific hero in mind? If so, I'm afraid I couldn't make out who - I'm afraid I'm no good at guessing games.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

That was a brilliant chapter and so long, you could really wallow in it. You really are the mistress of 'male conversation'! The action wasn't bad either...
I loved how you set the whole thing up with the passage at the beginning making the reader wonder what he'd got himself in to and then the actual scene after. Eothain and Aelfhere were very well characterized and very believable. And the end makes one wonder what exactly happened at Imrahil's party, although Lothiriel's feeling seem to be becoming slightly clearer. Anyway, loved it!
And I like to see some more dead sea creatures.

You've chosen an interesting topic for your first story and have delivered a well written and intriguing first chapter. What I suggest you do, though, is to give the reader a hint how old Faramir is. I know you name the year, but I for one have no idea when Faramir was born and what year his mother died. Is she still alive at that point?
I'm looking forward to more insights into Denethor's characters and the interesting family dynamics you hint at.
Happy writing!

Tatty? What do you mean tatty!? It was in perfect condition and now look what you've done with it! It's all wet! In fact it's dripping all over my computer!
No, I'm so pleased I finally got to read this bath chapter, you've really pulled out all the stops for Eomer, haven't you. And your style reads so easy and effortless, although I'm sure it's not effortless to write. And now that Eomer's nicely presentable he just happens to meet his dark haired lady. I wonder what will come of that?
Looking forward to more!

This is hilarious, I was laughing so much! Indeed half a sword is not a lot of use, is it, especially when you knock yourself out as well...
Thank you! Lia |

I can see a delightful series of misunderstandings unfolding here! Also I liked the interaction between Eomer and his sister and now I'm looking forward to the celebration and whatever else you have lined up for us.

Hello Gandalf's apprentice,
Oshun mentioned you so I was curious to see what you write. I'm more into the Rohirrim myself, but it's nice to see more detail and background added to the books in a believable way. Poor Boromir!
One small recommendation only - what threw me slightly was when you suddenly changed into first person for Aragorn. What I do is use italics for that sort of thing (on this site with html tags).
Happy writing

Dear LBJ,
it's wonderful to have a new story by you! You had me worried at first with your introductory words, but it's not that serious! I suppose it must be having the hobbits along. Even so I'm looking forward to the fourth chapter.
An intriguing beginning, now I wonder if Lothiriel will be able to make it after all?

I have always considered it one of Tolkien's strenghts that he didn't just let the whole story end in 'they lived happily ever after', but showed that some hurts go too deep to be just healed easily. You have taken that bittersweet ending and spun your own tale around it without taking the easy road and changing it to something happier.
I wouldn't call this an 'enjoyable' read, but you've definitely touched me with this story - you write so well with such beautiful little details that bring it to life and create atmosphere.
Oh, and I can see the need for handkerchiefs! |

Hello Katzilla,
just to let you know that not all your readers have joined the 'Too lazy to review' club! I groaned when I read your introductory sentence and feared the worst for my favourite horselord and how right I was. So you're still experimenting with how much damage he can take without killing him outright? Go Elfhelm, hurry up and find him! Or maybe Firefoot has the sense to go and get help? I hope so!
The fight was really well done, vivid and realistic (at least as far as I can tell, never having battled an Uruk-hai myself). Please post more soon so he won't have to suffer too long.
