Oh Binka. This is the absolute best thing you have written honey. I need a tissue. The language is so fluid its absolutely poetic my dear. So very terrible it literally made me cry. What a heartbreaking telling of Helm's Deep. One of the best I've ever read. Chapeau bas X trois my little friend. You just keep on amazing me with your command of the english language. Now teach me how to write fic in Polish!

Binka - this is great! Very touching and sad. Lovely way to portray Haldir, very valiant. And the loyalty of this elf was admirable and sad. Like I said in my PMs, your English is perfect - better than mine. My polish is horrible though. Very touching story. Keep writing tons more. We likes you precious, we really do! You have very fluid writing style and you tug at the heart strings. |

| Binka... I loved it... this is one of the most enjoyable description of Haldir's death, the portrayal is languishly poetic, which I love. *hug* keep it up! |

| Cool. Very well done! I love the description of the emotion passing through this warrior and his thoughts and feelings. This is the first work by your hand that I've read and I look forward to reading more if this is any indication of your talent. Again, very well done! |

Wow. That was .... amazing. I'm not usually struck speechless so take that as a positive comment. As I've said before, your English is perfect, and I wouldn't have known you were Polish unless you told me. I love the ending. It's so bittersweet and just ... well, perfect. I've got to read more of your fics now ... |

Wow ! Binka
That was incredibly beautiful, packed with emotion and almost reads like a poem. I loved your portrayl of Haldir and the loyalty of the elf was trully touching.
And the ending........

just read this story because it was highlighted as story of the day. Binka, I cannot tell you how sad this was
You had me almost crying - the thought of all thoses elves lining up to leave for the halls of Mandos, with Haldir in the front...it was just heartbreaking . . .
"On your feet, warden, for the battle is over, and Mandos awaits."
"...and I will follow you, my Captain," I stated.
Powerful and emotive writing.... you certainly have lots of talent young lady!

Dear Binka,
what an incredible written piece of prose. Chilling, emotional, haunting, moving... The details you add, the thoughts of someone who is to die and death watching how Haldir falls and observes how the rest around him reacts to what is happening.
The Ranger jumped in from darkness, his rough voice calling your name. He managed to catch you as you collapsed. The man bowed his weary head, the sadness of losing a brother-in-arms on his face.
This is just one of the moments that I could so clearly picture when you wrote these three lines. Amazing Binka. You are so incredibly talented! Never doubt yourself honey! |
