Interesting perspective; a while ago we had a challenge here to write about a "Tragic/Stupid/Crazy Guy". This story would have fit right in. Poor foolhardy Arvedui!

Please take a moment to reformat it, though, it is very difficult to read. And look into getting a Beta reader. Your work is rife with typos.

Very nice - How Faramir! to notice every detail of the spring even while ambushing the enemy.

Excellent story, Pen - great characterizations, the voices of each wonderully individualized, and you really found a wonderful moment of convergance I haven't seen explored (or even pointed out) anywhere else. Really great.

I thought these very good, Cuthalion, the first especially. You give Susan and the reader such a visceral experience, the rhythm of the event and of her own body so intertwined - you create great tension there, and then bring it down to such a simple but devastating result - that her newborn faith trickled: something small, and fragile, just slipping away. Very effective.

I have been procrastinating for days now over writing a final review for this story, but I really can't find an adequate way to express just how very much I have enjoyed reading it. I'm thinking of printing it out and putting it on the shelf next to my HP novels. I waited eagerly for each and every chapter, and sometimes stopped halfway through to draw out the experience and stay in Dorcas's world as long as possible. I loved all your characterizations of the young OoP members, but Dorcas the most. You managed a nice balancing act between her cleverness and self-ignorance which was compelling and endearing, and I was truly moved at your conjuring of life during wartime - a poignant reminder of what many face in the real world everyday. The ceremony at Hogwarts recognizing those students killed over break was particularly sad and touching.

Vana, this is terrific. I am really impressed with your seamless entry into J. K. Rowling's world, but most of all with your restraint: Dumbledore says only what's necessary, and your characters act and interact only to enrich the story. Your Dorcas is a wonderfully full character, with no heavy notes at all. I will eagerly await more.

This is going really well, Selene. Your imagination of Rohan is extraordinarly deep and broad, as our your characterizations of Lothiriel and Eomer. I am eager to see where you take this.

Very nice, Vilwarin. I especially enjoyed coming unexpectedly to the limit - if I can call it that - of Halbarad's ability to comfort Aragorn. We are appropriately reminded that even seasoned warriors can rue killing.
