2006 Author Reviews for
Lindelea

I always enjoy Lindelea\'s works. She\'s another one that makes me duck, blush and stammer when I try to say \"I don\'t read Hobbit stories.\" Her serious attention to detail and depth of characterization make her OCs as real in Middle-earth as her well-drawn canon characters.

Lindelea is good at keeping a long tale interesting over several chapters. Her hobbits are relaxing and fun, and I enjoy what I\'ve read of hers.

Lindelea is skilled at writting OC\'s and canon characters, no matter what their race or species! I always enjoy the detail and dialogue in her stories.

Oh, how Lindelea can get to the heart of her characters, even the heart of a worn pony who finds himself glad to be on the quest--for the most part. She has made Bill\'s story come alive here, and has added to the images we have of the honor given our beloved Ringbearer. Characterizations are wonderful, and her weave of canon with original material is masterful.

Lindelea is one of my favorite authors. She has created a complex universe in her Shire, with a richly detailed social network, and dozens of wonderful and memorable OCs, who have personalities strong enough to stand with the major canon characters--especially Ferdibrand Took, but there are a number of others as well--Woodruff the Healer, Jack the Conjuror and others. She often will go to the same scenario from differing POVs, giving us a look at the same events through new pairs of eyes. She has a great handle on h/c and angst, but she also remembers that hobbits tend to speak lightly of such things, and she has a very dry and sometimes wicked sense of humor. I always look forward to updates and new tales from her.

Lindelea has created a unique and detailed hobbit society, and an impressive body of work that often overlaps, giving the reader insight on events from many pov\'s. She is definitely the Queen of Hobbit Angst!

Revenge can be sweet at times, particularly for the little thought of younger sister. A delightful tale of Celandine\'s frustrations and her final vengeance on her brother and cousins. But then, Lindelea\'s stories are ALWAYS delightful to read.

Impeccable. To me, that word is synonymous with Lindelea. Her narrative and diction are perfect, She uses humour as deftly as Aragorn wields his sword. Someday when \"real life\" lets up, I would love nothing better than to just browse through this author\'s library of stories.

Lindelea is not only a talented writer of tales, but an excellent poet, as well. She has a sure handle on scansion and rhyme scheme, and constructs poetry that can be as easily sung as spoken.

Lindelea manages to depict a Shire society that is at once more idyllic than that of Men while at the same time showing in engrossing tales that enough dramatic events or maliciousness can threaten that peace. She brings characters to life which are only names on the family trees in the books, and blends them seamlessly with \"real\" canon characters.

How can one explain the fascination Lindelea\'s works have for me? Some come so quickly, and others come in fits and starts, but are always well worth the reading. She is an excellent writer and a wonderful friend, and I am so glad to have met her through fanfiction, and to have her gift of imagination sparking my own. Certainly she is most immediately to blame for my own breaking into the genre. Thank you, my friend, for all your stories and all you\'ve given us.

I apologize for reviewing \"Just Desserts\" under this fic, Lindelea. The judgment given Beregond of the Guard by Aragorn must have been one that took a great deal of thought and undoubtedly caused him a great deal of anxiety. Yet in the end, although Beregond learned he must leave the city of Minas Tirith as a result of leaving his post and shedding blood in the Hallows, yet he found the way to temper strict justice with a deeper one that looked not just at what he did but why, and how what he did served the needs of Gondor best. In writing her idea of how the considerations went, Lindelea has herself shown a great deal of thought and heart. Her writing leads us through so many moods--fear, comfort, reassurance, and in the end exultance as the King Elessar realizes the proper consequence for the Guard\'s actions, punishing the wrongdoing while at the same time rewarding the love that compelled Beregond to abandon his assigned duty to meet the deeper one of protecting his beloved lord and captain. And so it is that the story fulfills the purpose of sacred drama--increasing our empathy and giving us an emotional workout.
