Your sense of detail is exquisite. You described the setting fully, which is fairly rare in fic. Go you! However, in much of the first three chapters (which is where I am right now, in reading), there are some incredibly long sentences. Often by the time I was done reading the sentence, I could no longer recall how it started, so I had to read it again. The first sentence of the fic is overly long and really doesn't punch the way it should. Still, the idea is compelling and the setting is just lovely.

I must admit I approached this fic with doubts : LOtR was supposedly a pre-history, jousts were medieval, and even if they had jousted they wouldn't have done so too recently (namely in the last few centuries), especially in Gondor, what with Sauron around! But the story totally made up for the somewhat - strange Hiding behind the sofa smiley face

- idea. I liked Bandy a lot, and Gimli's portrayal is really realistic. Well done! Very Happy smiley face

This is absolutely wonderful. A charming medieval tale told LOTR style. I don't know how I've missed this series before but I am drinking them in as fast as I can read.

Thanks for sharing.

What rich detail! I can see the tourney field and surrounding tent city clearly. And boy do you know your armor! Your writing style reminds me so much of T.H. White's The Once and Future King. I hope you are still writing. Thank you

Oh, this is so delicious, detailed and witty, and now it's getting exciting too! May I say that I absolutely LOVE Bandobras - I think I've rarely laughed at a character this much. I just want to take him home - too bad that he isn't likely to abandon Legolas Wink smiley face
