"they are two and they have fiery man blood in their veins.... " ... well, that about sums it up for me. Twisted Evil smiley face

This was charming and informational. Please post link for ordering information.

We Survived Because of Me! · Wed Dec 17, 2003 5:17 pm

Poor gollum! Shifting the pronouns should have bothered the hoohah out of me (I'm grammatically anal), but I think I can tell what you're doing here, and it's really fresh and clever. The description of his mouth as "sharp" struck me as wildly appropriate, though I can't imagine why. I guess because he's such a sharp little guy in general: planning, purposing, underfed, opportunistic. Anyway, very nice piece. And very challenge-correct. Woot!

Well-Favored · Mon Dec 15, 2003 3:06 pm

When I first read LoTR as a child, I was enchanted by the idea of Imrahil and his Swan Knights. I always wished they got more "screen" time, or more fan attention. Thank you for this vignette, and for writing about Imrahil. You've depicted him beautifully.

Neato! The Sauron one was really nice. Loved this line: "Doom, ring the bells of Sauron always, doom doom doom."

Are you using drabbles to give quick notes on canon characters? If so, you may want to tighten these up and get them down to exactly 100 words (the definition of a drabble, as I understand it). I think it's a great idea! Also, you may want to mention that intention at the beginning, in a note. At first, I was a little confused, thinking that this was a story, and was waiting for some plot to pop up. Once I read it through the first time, I got it about the character sketches, and reread: it was tons more fun and very enjoyable! Care to do Lego next? Sauron maybe? Smile smiley face

The Cursed Queen of Angmar · Mon Dec 08, 2003 5:09 pm

Joy: a new chapter. Dispair: what's *in* the new chapter. Unfortunately, the ending for this chapter is much more tense than previous ones. Logically and fannishly, I know he can't die, but her desperation in the water was wrenching and tragic. I've never wanted to smack an elf so much in my life (the violent smacking, that is). Thanks for the update!!

Guidelines to the Usage & Care of a King's Sword · Fri Dec 05, 2003 4:35 pm

Hilarious .. and informative. Never again will I jump up and down whilst handling the king's sword. Consider this wench *learned*. Wink smiley face

Curious Coldness · Wed Dec 03, 2003 3:39 pm

Feanaro "grasping a falling snow flake and finding only a droplet of water" ... well, that about sums it up, eh? Snow as a metaphor for purity even in Arda marred resonates, and you've incorporated it well in this scene. The characterizations were a little thin, but that is probably just because of lack of space. In all, a poignant moment between the two. Thanks for posting, and for entering the challenge!

Snowfall and a War of Sorts · Tue Dec 02, 2003 5:56 pm

Wonderfully warm and untterly charming. My mind is full of images of Gandalf tossing snowballs with a bunch of hobbits! Brava! Sam's voice in that brief bit of dialogue was perfect... have you written any other stories with Sam? If not, you should; you have his voice down. And I'd forgotten the hobbit tradition of Yule, but I'm glad you thought of it. The warmth of Bag End and happy hobbits and tea and food... well, these are sorts of things the season is made for. Thank you so much!

A sequel?!? What wonderful fun! More amazons... definitely need more amazons. Very Happy smiley face
