Bill's Evil Plan to Take over the World · Sat Oct 02, 2004 11:28 pm

Very funny. Just add the rest of the reviews to this one, and you will have it just about right.

Fly, O Man · Fri Oct 01, 2004 6:01 am

I did not get it. Of course, I got to it from the home page, as a featured story. But even with the description, nope. Sorry, just not a fan of Denethor. It was poetic, and well written, if a little off rhythm at times. I guess not knowing who it was about threw me. Maybe a short description with the poem itself will help. But, thank you for sharing.

The Passing of Faramir · Thu Sep 30, 2004 8:15 pm

I have shivers running down my spine. And tears in my eyes. And I can say no more. Thank you, very much. The emotions conveyed were outstanding.

Castamir's Heir · Wed Sep 29, 2004 3:03 pm

Well, that was interesting. Now I will just have to go find some more, which I have been meaning to do, really, but there are just too many good stories to read. I did like the imagery in this one, particularily the opening descriptions. Thank you.

Moonlight On Summer Leaves · Wed Sep 29, 2004 6:32 am

*sits speechless* What words can describe this? What inspiration could have seeped from the ages long gone? This was truly beautiful. I will not comment on the poetry and imagery, only to say they are beyond words. There is music underlying this that was not written. A song that defies singing. A chord that strikes at the soul and stirs the longing for the past. Thank you seems inadequate. *silently doffs the hat and bows in appreciation*

Do You Know Why I Sent For You? · Tue Sep 28, 2004 5:25 am

Not a bad little piece. Thank you.

Very well done. The maturity of Pippin is very evident, as is what will always be Pippin. This fills in a nice seam in the tapestry that is LOTR. How kind of Tolkien to leave us these little holes. Thank you, very much.

Thranduil's Bargains · Fri Sep 24, 2004 7:12 am

Oh, that was fine. Too bad it had to end, but did it? I cannot help but notice that you left a dangling thread. You really should tie that up. Or, here is a better idea, a sequel. I am sure you did not think of that when you dangled your thread. But, how long will you make us wait? Now, I will have to go read Legends. As if I did not have better things to waste my time on. Oh, wait, I do not. Lucky for you. A job well done. Nice characterization, good plot and great timing. Now, I must go.

Repentance · Fri Sep 17, 2004 10:10 pm

Unless you have changed this, I found none of the phrases mentioned above. I, however, did not get the idea that Faramir was being impatient. To me, he sounded like someone who sees his brother hurting, and cannot ease the pain. I found him very sympathetic. As for abrupt, how long can you say goodbye. And it is not like they knew Boromir was to die. It was just another journey. All in all, I liked it very much, as I did some of your other work. Give us some more. Thank you.

I Just Wish... · Fri Sep 17, 2004 6:39 am

Oh! That was... I find myself at a loss. I thought at the beginnng, it was Gollum. However, the sword made it clear he was not the narrator. Frodo was the next logical choice, but still not clearly. The poetry in this piece is awesome. The imagery frightening. VERY well done.

The only issue I have is with a couple of words, but since I am not sure of the exact definition of one of them, I can only surmise the meaning from the context. Other than that, I find it moving. Extremely. Thank you, very much.
