Thank you! There should be more soon; I don't have to do the Mithrils right now, and my time is now free! And Ariashal has loads of plans for my time. Very Happy smiley face

Lordy, WK the matchmaker?! I can't wait to see it. And how elegantly you worked in a WK/Herumor convo without shifting from Ariashal's POV. Very clever. The long delay was worth it; thank you so much for updating!

[The following is the comment I left for this story in the MEFA voting. I wanted to copy it here because, well, it's all true. And I wasn't sure if you've been reading all those MEFA posts. Take care; I hope you'll continue this story.] "Cursed Queen is one of my all-time favorite fics, which is bizarre since it isn't even completed and I usually prefer stories that have noticable beginnings, middles, and ends. Still, this story starts out swinging and never lets up. From Ariashal's unfortunate marriage history to her unpleasantly dysfunctional family, you've taken cliches and made them into gems. Her dry acceptance of her "curse" is almost a veiled send-up of Mary Sues, and it gives Ariashal a clear voice right from the beginning. Throughout, characterizations are rich and nuanced; action scenes grab the gut and pull; and then there's the witch king himself. Wowza. Who'd've thought an invisible dude could be so darned sexy? But he's more than that, of course. He's magnigifent, and I'm right there with Ariashal, amazed and impressed. The meeting and falling in love chapters were lovely, but my favorite part so far has been the long arc in Rhudaur, with conflict and adversity and a sweet, sweet justice. I can't tell you how satisfying that mini-conclusion was. I'll just admit it now: You've turned me into a witch-king fangirl. Believe me, I was the last one expecting *that* to happen.'

Firstly I must apologise for coming to this story so late. I have seen it recommended so many times and referred to so often that I meant to look, but have never had a moment until now. I actually only intended to have a look at chapter one, to see what all the fuss was about, and have just finished chapter 8. Have to give the eyes a rest before tackling more but I just had to add a review here. I think this is one of the most brilliant stories I have ever read. I loved the prologue. It actually gave me shivers and had a real 'ghost story' feel to it, which I thought was excellent. Her curse too was like a darker version of a fairy tale and drew me in as a reader. I am so interested now to see what happens to her.

The descriptions of Angmar and details of the Witch King's daily life also held me rapt, as I just kept thinking 'what a good idea...I had never thought of that, but it makes such sense that things would be that way...' I have applaud the care and detail that has gone into this story. Utterly excellent.

Oh, and I am also glad to see Khamul in a story. For some reason I have always liked him. Very Happy smiley face

I shall stop raving now and get back to reading the rest of the story in a bit, but I just had to jot these first impressions down to let you know that I love this story! Smile smiley face

Thanks to Viv & Space Weevil for the lovely comments.

By now my biggest issue has become getting Ariashal to let me finish. I have told her that there will be more, but she refuses to cooperate. (If I let her run everything, they'd never leave the bedroom. Laughing smiley face

)

Anyway, the last part is about to go to beta.

Yey!!!

Thank you for Updating Very Happy smiley face

I've been watching this story for quite awhile and it's great to see some more of Ariashal and her king (...although I hope there still more to come too).

When I first read this I'm not sure I was a member of the site so I probably haven't reviewed it before (if I have then hey I'm doing it again! Smile smiley face

)

This is one of the standout best pieces of fanfic I have ever read. You charcterisations are amazing and the way you have brought to life characters that no one else seems willing to explore (for the most part at least) is just brilliant..

I'd happily pay to read a story this good. Razz smiley face
