This is excellent, Aearwen. I found everything in this piece - even the more horrific details - perfectly in keeping with the professor's vision. Where you tred new territory, you did so sensibly and well.

Really well done Eira. You create a unique voice here, and a unique POV expressed almost exclusively (appropriately) through the narrator's senses. I particularly loved those little sparkling droplets of exposition throughout - the lose of his dam and why, Snowmane's frustration, etc. Good stuff!

Wow, Bink, there are some really beautiful phrases in this, and the piece as a whole really works to create this strange transitionary space for Eowyn's feelings. Well done.

Very amusing; I'm looking forward to more.

You Can't Take the Sky From Me · Sun Oct 05, 2008 7:22 am

I like so many things about this fic, but most often the little touches: the narrator's petulance, how the stars go 'out of reach' during the day, his view of himself at the center of the universe. Meets the challenge well and brings to light an interesting character at an interesting time.

I really love that you found the irony in this character's undocumented life: that that which we value most (peace) is not as noteworthy as that which we fear (death), and that good deeds often go unrewarded. I thought the fic lost focus a bit though at the end, with his meditations on Elvenkind. It was charming, but less compelling.

Fablious! Fablious! You are just amazing, Viv. I can see how a verse or two might have popped into one's head almost without effort, but to keep it going and keep it going well is a true feat - or feet, I suppose. The rhyme and metre had one or two missteps - but considering what you had to work with that's totally understandable. I really admire your ability to take your writing seriously, and your subject matter not at all!

Very nicely done, Vlad. Of course, the addiction always seems extremely sensible, at first, and makes the user feel powerful - until they become powerless, of course. You caught that perfectly here.

I enjoyed this very much, Viv, particularly your characterization of Gilraen as a less than lady-like lady. She is a very human embodiment of contradictions - dreamer and realist, spent but proud, knowing her hopes are few but still acting in hope of her own betterment, perhaps for the first time in her life. So many times Gilraen is portrayed as something of a madonna, just accepting that her fate is subsumed in the greater destiny of husband and son, But your vision is of a different, and to me, far more interesting woman.

As usual, Viv, your perceptiveness and sense of humor combine wickedly here to skewer your subject deliciously. Thanks for the treat!
