A Silence Covered in Stone · Thu Jul 01, 2004 6:14 am

This was awesome. However, I feel I have read it already. It is either part of a larger story, or extremely similar. I am thinking of 'The Battle For The Golden Woods' I think is the name. Did you also write that? It was an awesome story also. Anyway, very well written and enjoyable. That is two of your stories I have read, and I am not disappointed. Thank you.

Oooooheeee. Wickedly well written. That was too good. Frightful. Concise. If it were not so late and I so tired, I would find more words. I will just make you a couple of popcorns and pour a couple of shots of Buttershots. Lurk smiley face

Faces in the Snow · Wed Jun 30, 2004 4:51 pm

Love it. It is so well written. The phraseology is great. It gives Boromir a human aspect that the movie lacked. My only criticism is the second paragraph. You move into a scene from the past, but use the present tense. I believe it should have shifted into the past tense. Other than that, no problems from me. I am off to see if you have anything else posted here. And make some popcorn. I will even pour you a glass of Buttershots.
Thank you.

The Feud of Shadow and Light · Wed Jun 30, 2004 8:56 am

Now I understand more of the Elves you have created. However, I hope more details into what created them in the beginning are forthcoming. What did they do in the past that separated them from the other Elves? That would also make a great story, I would wager. Well written, with only a few punctuation errors. (Did you really think I could let them go and not say SOMETHING?) LOL But I will give you this :

He of the Ring · Tue Jun 29, 2004 10:41 pm

Interesting scheme. While I agree with HollyTook concerning some of the actual rhymes, over all I liked the oddness of the pattern. (Go fig, I do not like regular poetry. Too boring) I am not a big fan of poetry, although I have several, so if I can finish one, it must be fairly good. Yours is above fairly. Thank you.

Undying Lands · Tue Jun 29, 2004 11:47 am

While I liked it, it left me curiously needing more. Maybe more background? Details? I just felt like I had come into the middle of a movie. I would like to see it expanded. It is well written.

First Love · Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:22 pm

Sorry, I re-read this and still find it enjoyable. I really like the cool collectiveness of Erestor, although I am not a big fan of Galadriel. Have you given any thought to finishing it to a conclusion? I am sure it would be well received. What if I make some popcorn? Pour some Schnappes? Throw myself on the floor and cry? ROFL smiley face

Okay, I tried. Thanks again.

What Cannot Be Undone · Sun Jun 27, 2004 10:14 pm

Very well written. Just add what everybody else said. I do not like the fact that most make the twins out as baffoons, yet neither do I care for the penchant to portray the Elves as unemotional cold fish. The movies made this picture too easy to accept. I believe that something catastrophic enough would move them to uncharacteristic behavior. After all, look at some of the things they did in the first age. So very unElf-like. Good subject and well handled.

Happy Birthday Aragorn · Thu Jun 24, 2004 1:11 pm

Ah, fluffy is good. And it is very fluffy. I have read several of your short pieces, and now I think I may be ready to tackle a longer one. So far, I like what I have read. So, I am off. But first... Lurk smiley face

Captured Heart · Thu Jun 24, 2004 10:56 am

Well, although it came as no surprise, Haldir's reaction, it was still too funny to read. I also cannot believe this is so long. I did not realize that you were up to thirty-five chapters. It does not make me feel so bad about how long mine is. It is a telling point that I am still with you on this. LOOOONNNNGGGG stories tend to intimidate me. I do not feel I have the time to invest, but this one is well worth it. I take back my two Buttershots and give you five. I do agree with Monaleoht though about the filler chapters. It would be interesting to see how the romance developed. And as far as their hands off policy during training, that IS the way a lot of couples meet. If it is inevitable, it is inevitable. It seems it is.

The only thing I can say about the story, technically, is that it could use some commas. It would make it easier to read in places. Other than that, everything else jives. (Sorry, one other has accused me of having a comma fetish.)

Now, I will go pop some corn and wait for more updates. Thank you very much for an enjoyable experience.
