Rh8: Myth and Memory by Ainaechoiriel

A very lively story, well rendered, gripping. I felt the youthful curiosity
and the mischief, how they mutually spurred themselves on to spy on the Elf.
Delightful how they wait for an quarter of an hour for the wrath of the Elf
before they realize that Legolas sleeps though Yonwin made such a clamour
loud enough to wake all around. Though I do not like movie!verse here it is
well used (Aragon falling from the cliff, Elves in Helms Deep).

Rh9: Namesake by Ainaechoiriel

I liked the serenity with which the old man speaks to his grandchild
remembering his friend Yonwin fallen in the battle against the wargs a long
time ago. And how he sees in the boy his friend of old though most probably
the boy's mannerisms have already blotted out many of the old man's
remembrances. Yet he doesn't feels it, for him the boy enlivens the memory.
Moving.


AUTHORS (remember to comment on the writer as regards to the category, not
the story, here):



RhA1: Ainaechoiriel

Ainaechoiriel writes lively real person's feelings, believable renderings of
humans. I feel them not to be distinctively Rohirrim personalities, though
allusions to Rohirrim culture appear abundantly. In "Myth and Memory" the
protagonists are perhaps simply too young for having already developed full
fledged Rohirrim personalities. In "Namesake" the active warrior's time is
long left behind. I think my feeling originates from the word choices.
