| Aearwen, This is one of the best 'getting to know you' between Aragorn and Halbarad that I can remember reading. I love how you have so strongly within the world to create the natural jealousies, misunderstandings, conflict and coming together. Well done. |

| Thank you. It just seems that too many people seem to think that Aragorn would have fit seamlessly back into Dúnedain society after living his entire life with the Elves - and that the Dúnedain would have naturally just let him take over because of his bloodline. Even today, young men have to prove themselves to each other - and I had fun seeing the kind of mischief two Rangers-to-be could get into in the process of getting to know each other. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. |

| This is wonderful. I'm sure they must be out there, but I can't remember reading anything like this before, and as dark as the story is, it's wonderfully refreshing to read something so new. The story itself is emotional and visual and very well done. |

| Thank you so much! My imagination was caught by the way PJ managed to portray Minas Ithil in RoTK, and when Al put up her October ALEC theme, this just immediately popped into mind. Not a lot has been written about those brave/foolish edain who tried to challenge the Dark - I just had to give one of them a small voice. I'm glad you enjoyed this. |

| This is very emotional. I'm glad you finished it and posted and got it added to the challenge. Every one of the stories in this challenge have been extraordinary as a group. |

| Very nice. I remember seeing this at the Garden - it seems stronger now, but I can't spot the changes. At any rate - well done! It's a very evocative piece. |

| *sobs* ... I've read it about five times and it still gives me chills. I love this view of Eomer from 'foreign' eyes. You very well portrayed the perspective of a peer, a lord and a father. |

Hooray! That's what I was going for. Am jazzed that it came through a bit. |

| Nancy, this is very chilling and pointed. I especially loved the alternate point of view. It was extraordinarily well done with the depth and layers of the cultural differences and the lies of the Dark Lord. You seemed to really bring us into this man's head -- a brave and honorable warrior -- in the moments of his death. |

Neume, you have outdone yourself. I'm not even coherent.
It seems to me that you perfectly captured the timeless, silent chaos of being lost in the battle. And the emotion was so intense, I had to stop reading three times to wipe the tears away so I could see to finish it. This is an extraordinary peice of work. |
