Slipping On The Downside Of Fate · Mon Dec 05, 2005 12:35 pm

I liked this, Rous: I liked the very idea that Haldir and Galadriel might have to talk about this and that he didn't just bow and go.

I don't get who the man is, though.

Gondor's Grief · Tue Nov 29, 2005 5:48 pm

I love it when things like this appear as the story of the day, calling attention to something in this case erroneously overlooked on my part. This is a very [bitter]sweet vision. She stands for all of us.

Wonderfully subversive! Great way to turn the challenge on its ear.

Wooden Swords and Horses · Sun Nov 20, 2005 3:03 pm

I read this story elsewhere some time ago. I loved it then and I love it still. This is a deceptively simple set of vignettes, portraits of men and moments, exquisitely rendered. It is sad, and poignant, and resigned, and satisfying. A wonderful, touching read.

Sounds like you really thought about this, Blookking, really got into the moment. I liked the way the poem had visual aspects (the word/letter spacings).

OHMYGOD THIS IS MY LIFE!! Except in reverse ... Laughing smiley face

Good job. Not only did I find this drabble ringing true but also admired the clear writing, interesting perspective, and charm of the scene. OK, now you've gotten a toe in the water, dive right into the drabble pool!

The Ghost Of Utterance Past (Drabble) · Tue Nov 08, 2005 11:57 am

Ooooh ... *shiver*

You found a very interesting commonality between Faramir and Elrond; I've never seen it explored before.

The trouble with Pippin · Thu Nov 03, 2005 9:59 am

This is an extraordinary characterization of Merry - clever, incisive, even a little mean-spirited, but sentimental and sensible all at the same time.

I particularly liked your simile: "Hobbits rose to a party like a trout to a fly." It's hard in writing to imagine culturally appropriate (and therefore different than ours) expressions. This one's a beaut!

It runs in the Family · Sat Oct 29, 2005 7:32 am

These are sweet, Vil, and you've caught at a good thread that only improves with exploration. These are awfully repetitive, though; was that intentional? to show the similarities in each situation? Perhaps it might have been more subtle.
