This poem is far, far too true to life. Anyone who has ever had to write
anything at all, whether for pleasure or payment, will recognize him- or
herself in Bilbo. We've all encountered the characters here: the
well-meaning guide who just increases the work fourfold (Elrond), the
well-meaning distraction (Elladan), the renderer of tangential assistance
(Arwen), and the voice of sensible yet slogging doom (Aragorn), and then all
the little mind tricks and interruptions we make all by ourselves to spare
ourselves the pain of that damnably blank page. Time flies, and then
suddenly it's nightfall and you've advanced all of two sentences. Rhyming
couplets throughout, and no tortured constructions to fit the rhythm (I
admire that)—good fun!

Some priceless description here. That first verse about Denethor, the "runt"
descripion of Faramir, the "good-bad son" for Boromir (among other
epithets), and the fight at the end. Interesting mix of humor and

Nicely done. I enjoyed how the author didn't try to explain anything or make
the characters fit in to a present time and place, but made a place apart
and let the characters be themselves. I only found the use of text from the
books a little disorienting, wondering if the characters would really repeat
themselves that way.

This is a wonderful story, told in a simple and liesurely (to a non-ent, at
any ratea) tone that's most appropriate. Your language was lyrical enough to
carry the reader forward, but not so much to sound awkward or false. Hard to
tell a tale of years in so few words.

This is what I think fanfiction aught to be - well researched, building on
familiar characterizations and events to create a new vision. I particularly
liked how you portrayed Halbarad as the commander of a great but scattered
force. It gave me a new appreciation for the responsibilities of the
Dunedain. You nicely explained something I had never thought about - how
Saruman could slip so easily into the Shire undetected, and interwove the
known elements of the Standard and Elrond's warning/advice seamlessly. Your
secondary characters were given very appropriate names and a well developed
sense of character even in so few words. Excellent job.

A lovely story. The author has done an amazing job creating these characters

thought the dialog particularly convincing; each 'man' has his own distinct
voice, appropriate and exemplary of his age. A pleasure, again.

This was an... interesting story. I won't say "delightful", because I'm not
sure you can enjoy something (in the sense I usually use that term) as dark
as this. The casual way that the Elf described what he knew would follow the
whips...

There's an absurd air about this. The fact that the Elf remembered *that*
song... well, I know I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks after I
first read The Hobbit, so I guess that makes sense! But that it should be a
source of strength, seemed right on. What you were doing here seemed to
infuse all of The Hobbit and the sillier parts of the rest of canon. It
reminded me of old Bombadillo's words:

"None has ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master:
His songs are stronger songs, and his feet are faster."

This piece seemed to carry on that tradition of seemingly absurd things
having a hidden sense of power that the casual observer might doubt. It
really made me think.

This was a fun story. You have given us an Aragorn who is fallible. We still
see the honour in him, and he is far from out-of-character, but he is also
human. Able to be tempted both by his love of Butterbur's ale and his love
(and lust, I imagine) for Arwen. Of course he would have moments of weakness
where he thought Elrond's task was impossible, and when he would be tempted
just to rush off into the wilds with Arwen. (Not that I am entirely sure
that she would agree to go. Marrying a mortal is enough of a sacrifice.)

And besides that, Halbarad is brilliantly drawn. There isn't much canonical
information one way or the other, but I see in him a kinsman of Aragorn's
generation, a cousin perhaps. Beyond that, you've given a realistic and
fuller picture of the events of this time period that I really liked. The
hints at the tensions Aragorn's Elven upbringing might have caused among the
Ranger community. This story was two parts keen but not raucous sense of
humour combined with one part serious story. A recipe for a good read. I'm
beginning to wonder if there's a culture you can't write, Thundera.

This was an interesting look at how Gimli and Legolas finally resolved their
differences over the former's father's "mistreatment" at the hands of the
latter's father. You know, they both have a point. Legolas is right that the
elves provided for the dwarves' basic needs (and let us not forget that the
dwarves were lost and starving when they were "arrested"), and that the
Dwarves were trespassing in what were already dangerous times. Likewise,
Gimli has a point that the dwarves were deprived of their freedom and were
held indefinitely (especially given their captors were elves). It's an
interesting question for today: which is more important, security or
liberty, and where should we draw the dividing line? Thranduil's treatment
of the dwarves reminds me of Faramir's treatment of Frodo and Samwise; even
if it isn't the best course of action, it was certainly better than most.

I've always felt that the truce between Legolas and Gimli and even the
friendship that seemed to blossom after Lothlórien was a temporary matter.
It was more a matter of putting aside differences to better fight the common
enemy -- so when the common enemy was defeated, those old differences would
resurface.

I was a little unconvinced that dwarves would travel to Minas Tirith so
quickly. Maybe, but I think it would have worked better with a more
compelling reason. That quibble aside, however, this really was a good
story.

"Would he save what he held most dear if nothing would grow fair or bear

question, but a question of the fundamental nature of what would be saved if
Faramir used the Ring to achieve his ends. Well done!

Asfaloth's perspective does much to relieve some of the tension of the final
leg of the journey to Imladris. He's very much in the present (except when
he's thinking of a particular mare) and content with that, without any of
the concerns about loyalties or warfare that Glorfindel and Aragorn or the
hobbits have. That strikes me as right.

I have a sneaking fondness for this particular gap myself and it's nice to
see what others make of it. I was intrigued by the way Lindir was cast,
although I can see where it would come from. It certainly winds the tension
up and turns Aragorn's and Arwen's difficulties inward, away (to a certain
degree) from the tension and fear that the Dark Lord imposes. Not wholly,
but the accent seems to fall more on the problems generated by their
betrothal. Jeannie touches on a number of factors that would be in play
without letting them distract from the Arwen-Aragorn relationship being
developed here. A sweet set of scenes that Aragorn/Arwen fanciers should
enjoy.

A nicely written vignette that I think does justice to Elrond's fears as
well as his love and many years of experience. I almost wish we had the
second half of this conversation, the one where Elrond first speaks to
Aragorn, but that would, I think, upset the carefully balanced inner
commentary on Arwen's love at this stage, which to Elrond seems still
insufficient to bear up to the final bitterness of the Gift of Men. Also, a
nice handling of the sticky point of dynastic considerations—the story
doesn't ignore them, but neither does it set itself the difficult task of
really digging into them, which would definitely distract from the main
point: showing Elrond's first coming-to-terms with Arwen's choice.

I have really no knowledge of the history of the Dies Irae and had to go
look it up. Somewhere, a parish priest is despairing of me, to say nothing
of anyone who loves Mozart. But anyway, this was quite the outpouring of
defiance in the final breach, as it were! It fits Minas Tirith well, I
think, although I note that it does rather differ from the themes of hope
and supplication in the actual hymn. Quite the reverse, actually. This day
of wrath is one of a continual grinding down of those already without hope,
until all that remains is the need to fight for the memory of a destroyed
Númenor. But it is beautifully done and the rhythm is as relentless as the
Enemy's onslaught. Another lovely poem, Ellisande!

That last line is what really does it for me, and pulls the whole drabble
together. Obviously, it can serve to remind us that Boromir is mortal and
will soon fade out of the story; but it also, I think, moves us back towards
that first paragraph. The briefness of those sparks, compared with
mortality, is also the brevity of comfort for the Fellowship, but also the
brevity of this intense yet crucial time in their lives, when they are
together in this one moment in history.

This inspires a lot of ambivalence in me for one hundred short words!
Galadriel's mirror is such a tricky thing, and we all know how the
temptation to know safety within a relationship can break it, that the idea
of Arwen scrying for the future of her love with Aragorn gives me a bit of a
chill. Particularly when put next to her grief and the bitterness of her
loss in the end, one can't help but wonder if the latter has something to do
with this little peek at the future, or rather could be made to have
something to do with it in a longer story.

A succinct history of Radagast, all turning about the question of Saruman's
judgment of him. I particularly liked the line: "Wisdom of claw and
feather."

A nice, short little interlude. Elrond and Bilbo don't seem to get much time
together, and I like the way this story takes up a single line from "Many
Meetings" and deepens it, gives it a different perspective. It's good to see
a bit of tension between Aragorn and Elrond over something other than Arwen,
too!
