I'm always afraid of writing Gollum because I find him incredibly complicated. I loved the sound and flow of this drabble. There are lots of fricative consonants that help recreate that particular Gollum-speech and it makes the writing itself slippery ... like the fish. I love it when the author can entwine sound and theme, bringing the writing to life.

Excellent!

Great job. This is a really creative idea for the food challenge. I liked it. Good Gollum.

Excellent, Weavil! Just right. I've always loved the scenes of Gollum fishing: his big paddly hands, how the twitchy creature must have had to be so still and quiet ... you've really captured it.

Oh, this is lovely, darling! Just the right under current of resentful fear and the sly satisfaction that *now* she cannot watch him. Wink smiley face

Very cool!

Oooooh... the hard thing about writing Gollum is getting his hissy, cadent voice just right. And you *have*. I bow before the Mistress. Wow. (Subject matter is appropriate too ... have you written a Gollum-centric longer fic?)

You captured Gollum very well. Only he could be so paranoid that he thought of the sun that way. Fish everywhere are thanking the sun! Poor, crazy, little Smeagol. Wink smiley face

This is a great little peep into Gollom's world, you portray him exactly as we know him - 'crazy little smaeagol' (as Alassante so eloquently describes him).

I started off thinking it was from Smaegol's pov and immediately, your masterful writing told me, nope, this is Gollum. You never cease to amaze with your talent Space.

awww!

i would be so utterly depressed to be gollum. i can't even imagine hating the sun....or eating raw fish, but that's besides the point.

excellent, spacey. very well written - you brought the emotion of gollum to paper perfectly.

What i really liked here is that you moved away from the usual cartoon-esque Gollum. Well done, thank you ! Very Happy smiley face
