Nancy, I really enjoyed this! I think you've nailed the Gaffer's pride in his Sam. Very nice work!

Oh, I hate it when I wake up out of such a terrifying dream -- which became quite personal rather quickly, with water down the dreamer's throat -- and am so disoriented that I don't know what is real. Nicely drawn, Marta!

(Hmmm, I wonder if the Rangers lost their hearing, being subjected to the roaring waterfall all the time? Probably not -- I have to remind myself that this is not the real world....)

This is a lovely moment, Marta! Thranduil knows how to get through to Celeborn, even though he doesn't understand him very well.

Nice drabble!

Well, this is a real puzzle, and no mistake..... could it be..... Sauron? and the Ring? maybe?

This is great, Nancy.... His mixed emotions show through... The opening lines really pull us in... A great tribute to an obscure hero!

'Tis The Song, Not The Singer · Tue Jul 26, 2005 4:30 pm

Ah, a lovely drabble! I really like the emphasis on the fact that Imrahil and Legolas both share the sea-longing, despite Imrahil's long generations of Mannish blood. The sympathy that Imrahil felt for Legolas shows the quality of his character -- I like that very much!

Nice work!

I like this, Wilwarin! Of course, Arnor would also have a steward to rule when Elessar was in the South Kingdom.... very well thought out! Very nicely descriptive. I especially like how you point out that he, too, had suffered loss in the war years. Very nice drabble!

LOL! I enjoyed the, um, imagery a lot! Very funny!

(So *that's* why she married Aragorn... *snicker*)

P.S. (note to self: must stop drooling...)

This is lovely, Nancy! I couldn't help but notice the similarity between Boromir's task on this 20th June 3018, and the task of the Three Hunters after the Orc-raid at Parth Galen on 26th February 3019. *Sob*

P.S. May I make a suggestion as a fellow drabble-writer? I've been told that some people are disappointed when they expect a story and get a drabble (I, personally, *adore* well-written drabbles...), so I recommend that you mention that it is a drabble in the story summary.

Those Who Challenge The Dead ... · Sun Apr 24, 2005 8:41 pm

Oh, Nancy, these are *superb*! Eärnur's brashness and Baldor's regret come through so clearly and memorably...

There are several things that I especially appreciate in drabbles, and these have them all:

One, I value your respect for the language - each of your words is precise and evocative, necessary when only 100 words are available.

Two, I adore drabbles that illuminate lesser-known canon events. Okay, I'm a geek, but I love drabbles that are accompanied by canon quotes...

Three, I appreciate drabble series with a common theme; I'm working on one myself (which is, so far, a "series" of one...) and enjoy seeing different events or different POVs tied together with a common theme. Very nicely done!

(Four, I'm kinda partial to Rohirrim... Baldor's death was such a tragic waste of studliness *vbg*)

I *thoroughly* enjoyed these... thank you for sharing them!
