2006 Author Reviews for
Nancy Brooke

Reviews for Races: Hobbits

Reviewer: Dwimordene Category: Races: Hobbits Valid Characters: 315 Score: 4
Nancy Brooke writes tight, concise, and precise vignettes, juxtaposing characters and emotions in illuminating ways. She knows how to make the most of a moment, and how to condense into a moment characters as widely separated in time and space as Earnur and Baldor. Thoughtful work, Nancy is able to take advantage of the calmer moments, and she writes a variety of characters.
Reviewer: Marta Category: Races: Hobbits Valid Characters: 212 Score: 3
Nancy writes all aspects of Boromir\'s life in a way that is fun to read and emotioanlly meaningful. Whether it is an AU drabble after his death or as a child in Dol Amroth or others remembering him, Boromir\'s personality is strongly felt in Nancy\'s writing.
Reviewer: Rhapsody Category: Races: Hobbits Valid Characters: 1006 Score: 10
Nancy is someone who has an excellent grasp on the technical side of writing and grammar: if you are doubting about something or wonder if something reads right: you can always ask her. As an author I am used with her honest and concrit reviews which always either gives you a good insight where to improve. Nancy is often called, quite affectionately, the Queen of grammar and punctuation on OSA. Besides that, Nancy writes a great Boromir, but I love it when she expands her characters to the House of Dol Amroth, important (historical) figures of the race of men or yes? hobbits! But I know that Boromir remains her favourite character. What I find so great about her skills as a writer is that she can simply write an incredible background setting where she simply finds the refined balance where simply knows where the writer ends and the reader starts to imagine. This balance is sometimes hard to find, but with her, it never feels overdone. Combine this with superb dialogue and an in-depth characterisation where you are quite often treated to aspects of a character that you never considered before. From drabbles, vignettes to longer stories: she can do it all, which makes her an incredible all round author.

Nancy Brooke is always able to use just the right words to get her point across, never overwriting.
