| I am not too fond of nontraditional verse when dealing with Tolkien; his work cries for the structure of rhyme-scheme poetry. I will make an exception in this case, however: this poem has managed to capture the essence of Gollum without resorting to the hysterical. It's very well done. |

"My Sons for Gondor" and "To Keep You From HArm" are both strong enough that they can stand on their own; "My Sons" is crying for expansion, to fill in the remainder of this familiy's saga. I would love to see how that story ends, whether or not her son survives, what her daughter-in-law will do now, and so forth.
Of the rest, "Hands of a Fool" was the weakest; it's confusing and unclear just what that paper is. The others are good, but "My Sons" and "Harm" are outstanding. |

| Thank you all for the kind comments. No, their story isn't over, but this seemed like a good place for a break. They will have some other things to think about--just where will they find a suitable husband for Zimraphel? And of course there's Gothmog to introduce. |

The transitions from present to past & back again were the only thing I had a problem with. They need to be set off, either by italicizing or longer spaces between the segments.
Using Aragorn's cold is a good device to draw in the reader--who hasn't spent a night with that awful hunger for air? |

| Verey well done. The handling of the brothers' personalities and dialog is excellent. Even stiff old Denethor seems real. Faramir's orc story is a spot-on depiction of his personality; it is not only plausible, but probable. Boromir's tone throughout is consistent and also effective; it makes perfect sense that he would try and talk his little brother through this trying incident. A truly fine story. |

A wonderful little story, with the drama understated yet tense. Poor Eomer; losing a god horse is almost worse than anything else, especialy given their culture & how deep that bond can be.
The best thing? youve left us wanting more. That's no small feat for a writer! |

Thanks to Viv & Space Weevil for the lovely comments.
By now my biggest issue has become getting Ariashal to let me finish. I have told her that there will be more, but she refuses to cooperate. (If I let her run everything, they'd never leave the bedroom.  )
Anyway, the last part is about to go to beta. |
