Lovely. You make each one of those 111 words count.

A wonderful glimpse into a building friendship. You had both their voices down pat. I especially enjoyed your portrayal of Faramir. Your writing and descriptions are simply beautiful, by the way.

How do you manage to produce such well-written works at such a fast pace?

Beautiful. I got goose-bumps while reading it.

This was a highly enjoyable read for me. Since I'm a great Aragorn fan, I'm always glad to discover well-written stories featuring him.

A King and his Steward. This was a nice spin on their first meeting.

That was wonderful! Truly. You managed to capture Boromir's character and thought patterns exactly. After the fourth paragraph, you drew me in completely. I do think that, in the time he spent in Rivendell, he would have to go through some sort of cultural shock. Not to mention being bored out of his mind.

Also, I think he would feel slightly resentful towards the Elves there. After all, his people are fighting and dying for the freedom of Middle-Earth, and the Elves there seem to be doing nothing but enjoying themselves in their sheltered haven. Some resentment and prejudice were bound to be present in his thoughts.

I almost laughed out loud when he referred to Glorfindel as a 'youngster new to arms'. The sparring match was extremely well written and realistic. I can see how Boromir would be taken off guard by the elf's strength and speed. I don't think he ever fought against one before. I also enjoyed Glorifindel's reaction when the match ended.

Looks like Boromir made a friend in the end. Good for him.

Thank you for writing this.
