| I'm always glad to see any new work about Boromir. I would have liked to see something new said about his journey, here, however, and the inconsistent rhythm was difficult to navigate. |

| This is great, Thevina, and for so many reasons. You seat Gimli so inextricably within his heritage and traditios - wonderfully teased out here - even as he begins to turn toward his future fellowship members. I particularly enjoyed your opening - if only a little bit - that door into the dwarvish world, with its very specific words, and rituals, loves and values. That a culture in which signs, symbols, and adornment are a central part would turn to decorating itself is a perfect extrapolation. And 'beard on a sheild' - great! and most natural. |

| You create a very interesting and detached voice here, Rhapsody. I found it really compelling that the narrator would be contemplating the grace of his motions, the sound of his sword, that his victim is sliced or carved not simply killed, and that on his sword their blood is mingling. |

| Very interesting, Vilwarin - touching, intriguing, and respectful all at once. You remind me of a piece from John Updike's 'Gertrude and Claudius' wherein the young, pregnant queen realizes her body has come to represent the whole of Denmark to her husband ... |

What, Elves have never heard of thimbles? 
This has some very nice and insightful ideas within it. I particularly liked that you linked Galadriel's vision of Arwen's embroidering the banner with the idea of Arwen wanting to hasten her accomplishments. In sending the standard, was she trying to hasten Aragorn's destiny and, therefore, hers? Good question. |

|
| This has some great moments: "I’ve followed you since my father gave me this sword," "You were my honor," and "I'm impatient for it to begin" in particular. The depth and feeling you give this solder is wonderfully and fully imagined. I have trouble hearing this as soldier's voice, however, one so trained and disciplined as to rise to position as squire to the Captain General. |
