| This is nicely written, and a lovely thought. Often understanding and change begin so, with one small open heart. One thing bothers me, though, and that is how the Dwarf and the Elf child would communicate. I wondered that they knew a common language. |

| That's great, Viv. Just like Parkman's vision it's vivid, warm and feels *real *. It's also nice to see these guys using their gifts for simple, unselfish and *good* reasons. Thanks! |

| This is lovely, Marta. You've touched on so many things here so lightly and deeply simultaneously. I always thought it odd that Peter Jackson and company felt it necessary to make Arwen's part of the movie/story greater than Tolkien did, when to wait and to honor a vow that might never come to fruition, to work behind the scenes for a victory one might never see, was so much harder than to take direct action. That is only one piece of what I valued about this piece. Well done. |

An Unexpected Visit (PG)

|
| This is wonderful, Cressida, a full, detailed, vision that passes so easily I was drawn right along with it. I gather from your note it was not easy to write, but it read very easily. Though I could imagine the amount of work that went into it, it was not evident in the reading at all. The characterizations are perfectly familiar, while still adding new depth to each, and the year-end celebration is wonderfully imagined. Well done. |

She's On My Mind (G)

|
| The reason I like this story, and was happy to become involved with it even in such a small way, is the conclusion. With a straightforwardness and simplicity Adrahil's grief is given outlet, his melancholy resolution, his love redeemed. The author's uncomplicated and sweet treatment of this small but momentous turn is wholy appropriate to something so true. |

|
| She is quite a cypher, isn't she? I love how her love is so strong but also based on ignorance. Her ambiguousness certainly makes her interesting and you bring that our so well here, giving us insight, but never understanding appropriately. |

| A provocative exploration of this relationship. The way you kept the characters identities at first hidden really brought out the shared aspects of this parting, this sibship, and others. Well done. |

| I liked it, but I can't say I get it. I didn't recognize the 'ghost' and wish I had, reading was otherwise compelling and fun. |

I agree with Senta - it's great to have a glimpse into a Dwarf's private world, and interesting to contemplate the beginnings of Thorin's (and Bilbo's) quest and its impact on others.
Embla is a lovely and well-drawn character. You might follow this up with her own trip to the Lonely Mountain, or her choosing whether to go. More such well-imagined gap-fillers would be very welcome.
btw: Embla (first woman created in Norse myth, right?) was a nice choice for name! |
