Hi Jael,

I'm really enjoying this... well, except for the unnerving bit about Sauron at Amon Lanc....

Looking forward to what happens next, I think (though not if it includes Lalaithiel's death.... I already like her character too much.)

Nicely done!

What an interesting story! I like all the little realistic details, from both her modern life and her ancient one.

Looking forward to seeing where you take this!

*wibbles*

Neume, the depth of Éowyn's pain really comes across.... I had not really thought about the fact that she was losing the only parent figure that she could always rely upon.

Very powerful!

Goosebumps.

And tears.

This is an extraordinary story, Jael. Just... extraordinary.

Oh, it just keeps getting better! I'm almost sorry that the Titanic part of the story is over, for I have so enjoyed all the rich details.

Will we see more about Dunkirk now?

This is a great situation, and a truly creative handling of it, Jael.... Very nicely done!

Oh, Jael, what an intriguing beginning!

I love the idea of the crusty old captain, refusing to just hand over his boat and thus participating in the Dunkirk evacuation. And it looks like the Titanic fascinates you as much as it does me.... The historic detail is (I think) accurate and really exquisite - obviously you've done lots of research! *rubs hands in glee*

Your Thranduil and Galion are such great characters... imagine, going down to third class for gambling and dancing - but not partaking of female companionship.... Shocking!

Your characters are rich and multifaceted, and I look forward to more of the captain's perceptive observations.

Great start!

I just saw this, and couldn't put it down until I read the whole thing. It was heart-wrenching, but then heart-warming.... I think both the little girls will feel safe in Rivendell, so it ends on a hopeful note.

I liked the grittiness of some of the seedier aspects of their life and of the characters in the story.... and the fact that Ivoreth can't quite let go of her need to be responsible for her little sister, even if it leads to theft....

Very nicely done!

What a treat!

Erestor, just trying to think through the mysteries of bodily union, huh?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. *giggles*

Well, I'd say he got along awfully well with Gwirith, all things considered.

Seriously, Lissa, I really enjoyed the way you drew these characters, and their stumbling attempts to understand each other despite different... erm, world-views.

Nice work!

- Barbara

lol - thank you! It's great to hear that you enjoyed Erestor's excursion into the world of Men. There are things that just have to be experienced to make sense, where theoretical knowledge cannot substitue for practical experience.

The idea of two people with very different backgrounds trying to find common ground seemed as if it might be fun to write (and it was!). I'm glad you appreciated Gwirith and Erestor - I grew quite fond of them myself. Smile smiley face

hehe, yeah, I thought we needed a story for ourselves in midst of all the nubile young maidens in the fandom. Wink smiley face

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
