Shocked smiley face Never read the actual transformation (in a fanfiction writer's imagination) of an elf to a servant of the dark before. Actually, I would relish more acts of a sadistic nature, but I must say this is pretty good.

Evil or Very Mad smiley face I'd say this is quite delicious.

When I read the summary of this, I will admit I was wary, not because I have any qualms about reader darker stories, but because I've read similar pieces to this and they have been, in my experience, and excuse to use gratuitous rape / violence and to be as gross as is possible. So I am very glad that yours was not like this. Yes, it was harsh and quite horrible in bits, but the fact that it was so well written and you did not overly dwell on the torture etc, whilst still making it plain that what was happening was awful, kept this story from being a gore fest and nothing more. I liked your use of language. It sounded very 'orkish' in parts.

I read this with only one eye, but was surprised by the way you have written it. Well done. A very good handling of a difficult subject, which I would most definatly not attempt. Twisted Evil smiley face

that was amazing. i have never quite been able to try to describe the changing, but yours was great. as spaceweavil said, most of these stories suck. but, you put a whole new perspective on it. GOOD JOB!! Very Happy smiley face

Horrifying in the best sense of the word. This is one intense reading of the transformation from elf to orc. I have always wondered about this sometimes overlooked fact. To me one of the most agonizing moments in the Silmarillion is when elves begin to dissappear, only to be turned into orcs.

The usage of first person makes it more poignant, and the anger, the agony, and the hatred of this elf/orc is dripping throughout the piece. The last line summarizes everything perfectly. Even the purest of beings can be tainted by evil.
