| Amazing how this story fits into the folk tale, ain't it? But maybe not that surprising. Tolkien, after all, borrowed heavily from faery tale forms. Which is probably why your story aligns so nicely with the professor's work. It even has a voice that is very nearly his. Very lovely work; thanks for letting me read. |

| Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. You've turned the tables here, haven't you? Instead of a folk tale being turned into an aspect of Arda, you've turned an aspect of Arda into a folk tale. Very well done. |

| Tinni, what fun! Very Tolkienesque how you blended the tales. You did a great job with this one. |

Rumplestiltskin meets Feanor---hmmm. I think I'd bet on Feanor.
This is a wonderful retelling of that classic. The only flaw is the formatting--it makes the whole thing into a wall of white words. But the story itself is beautifully realized. This one is a keeper. |

Kind of makes me think Celebrity Death Match.  |

Now, how about Feanor vs Gollum? There's a set of folks for Survivor!
I really liked this story. This one worked beautifully. |

I loved it! It was really good and had a nice ending, though it was bittersweet. Well thought out!  |
