Hmmm. I'm still trying to figure out if Denethor was offering a gift in the
generous nature of gift-giving or simply trying to speed an old wizard on
his way as well as rid his stables of a horse about to go lame. I suppose
either way will work out in the end for Gandalf, and he's definitely wise to
not examine this gift horse too closely. A gift is a gift.

Fascinating idea, that Legolas would turn to Gimli and request a song after
declaring that elven melodies just didn't capture Gandalf. It reminded me of
Gimli's chant in Moria and also of Sam's reaction to it. According to Sam,
he could almost see the lights and the dwarves, and certainly it was unlike
any of the elven songs in Tolkien's works. Perhaps that's why Legolas asked.
Or perhaps because Gimli was someone who had also walked with Gandalf and
who had also seen his fall. This drabble has certainly made me think, and it
has turned me back to several different moments in the Fellowship, which is
probably one of the most powerful ways a drabble can make an impact:
pointing to something bigger. Wonderful allusions.

The tale becomes sad when it's reduced to "there" and no longer has a "back
again." I loved the quiet recounting of the way Frodo looked up to Balin and
remembered his stories, and this drabble hit a wonderfully mournful tone
when Gandalf closed the book on Balin's last story with the words "I fear
their end was cruel." Very powerful drabble with such a light touch that it
almost feels as though all the events prior to Moria were nothing more than
a dream. And at that point, they might as well have been, because they're
only memories now. Great mood work.

Now this was a powerful tribute to Folcred and Fastred. I loved the poetic
feel of the narrative, and I really enjoyed the imagery of a single pebble
changing the course of a stream. And while the stream can't flow uphill, it
can still be altered. That's a great thought, and it's very fitting that the
Rohirrim would prove to be that pebble. The final line is perhaps my
favorite, though. The thought of singing in two tongues but one heart is a
great way of expressing the union between Gondor and Rohan and the way that
they need each other.

Excellent drabble, and wonderful mood. It felt very much like a moment of
realization for Legolas, even though the tone seems to say that this
realization has happened over the course of many years. But this drabble
concentrates it all into a single moment. And the mood is concentrated, too.
I loved the last line, and I loved the imagery of empty spaces where voices
should be. Definitely sobering. Poor Legolas. It's not wise for the elves to
find too many things to love in mortals, or they find themselves with empty
spaces. Great work here.

This is an effective look at the emotional relations among Faramir, Boromir,
and Denethor. I particularly liked it that Boromir came right out and said
that Denethor did not love Faramir. Most accounts dance around the idea that
maybe there just isn't any love there. A sad statement but a strong one. I
liked the honesty of Boromir in this story.

I enjoyed this glimpse of Denethor as a young man, and I like his excitement
over the possibility that Thengel's horn was taken from a dragon's hoard.
That made me smile. His unabashed pride in Gondor shines through, but he's
still young with much to learn and I like his interest in . I suspect his
curiosity will serve him well as a Steward.

So nice to see a portrait of Radagast the Brown as a strong character. The
poem itself is a spare and effective comment on the revealed wisdom of the
wizard's choices and, in a larger sense, I guess, on the choices of everyone
who cherishes the creatures of the world. Also, the poem is brief but still
solidly grounded in Tolkien's world, thus avoiding a common mistake made by
many poets in the fandom. I mean, many very good poems are written, but they
could be about any battle or true love or friendship. Brown Spirit could
only be about Radagast. Very nice job.

I love the way Lindelea writes hobbits, and this particular story is no
exception. The mystery doesn't fully enter the story until about halfway
through, but the elements leading to it are scattered throughout the first
chapters. But they're scattered in such a way that they're hard to pick up
unless you know what you're looking for. Pippin as Thain and Sam as Mayor
were very well portrayed, and I love the way they handled what eventually
became a rift between friendship and duty. Excellently written, and I very
much enjoyed the trick Pippin used to find out the truth in the end. It's
been done before, but it felt very natural here.

Fascinating story that seems to wind around like echoes and then return to
where it began. Only the second time around, things are different. I doubt
that made any sense, but it's the feeling I got. What I really loved about
this story, though, was Merry's characterization. There's a wonderfully dry
sense of humor to him, and though things became dark, he never seemed to
lose this humor. It blended nicely with a hobbity sense of pragmatism,
easily making Merry my favorite character, with Estella making a close
second.

This entire story felt like a song to me. The word choice seemed very
lyrical, and the cresting waves reminded me of rising and falling melodies.
Add to this the fact that I love anything having to do with Maglor, and
perhaps that might explain why I enjoyed this story so much. I also liked
how Elrohir's mystery visitor was seen and yet unseen and how no one truly
believes he saw anything in the end. In the end, it was almost like a
child's fantasy, except that we as readers were also there and we know the
truth.

I really liked this little vignette. Dis gets so little recognition in the
fandom, but it cannot be denied that Fili and Kili, the youngest on the
journey, were some of Thorin's greatest assets. I love the way Dis describes
what it felt like to have her home taken from her, and I like the way she
describes it to the mountains and to the rocks. It feels very dwarven, and I
can definitely see the need for a permanent home being ingrained in all
dwarven women. The idea of vengeance was also very strong, and I liked the
part about teaching Fili and Kili to hunger for more than just gold.

Ah, so the secret is out at last. I have to admit that I laughed when I
first read this story. It's a brilliant and original take on the parentage
of Cirdan, who is among the more enigmatic figures of the Silmarillion, but
it surprised me with its boldness. I'm not entirely sure about the concept,
but the way it's described feels very Tolkien. The language is such that it
could fit right into the Silmarillion. And it does explain a lot about both
Cirdan and the Long-beards. Nicely done.

I love the territory covered with this glimpse into Balin's mind. It's
definitely a wandering mind, though given the circumstances, I think we can
forgive him for that. My favorite part were his musings on just how absurd
Bilbo's waistcoats were. That made me laugh, but the tone sobered quickly,
and I was definitely not laughing in the end when Balin thinks about
admitting his failure and then closes on "I tried. I tried..." That was
powerful. The imagery in the beginning, too, when he thinks about reaching
to touch hot metal on an anvil was great and gave me a very vivid picture of
just how Balin perceives his actions.

This was brilliantly written, and it says so much about dwarven culture and
dwarven thought. I loved Oin's line of "What we have, we hold." It
summarizes the entire thing. Dwarves never give up a home, even though they
may be driven from it and forced into exile for years and even centuries.
And I love the idea that dwarven banners are the poles themselves, carved
and guilded. It reminds me of the pillars in the halls and how they serve as
a visible foundation and a symbol of power. I also really liked the almost
bittersweet way this story ends with Balin thinking about his own standard
and how we as readers know that it's not destined to last long.

This is probably one of the best realizations of Celebrimbor and Narvi that
I have ever read. Both are full, complete characters, and they change so
much over the course of the story as they come to learn about the customs
and culture of the other. They feel natural. Celebrimbor's confusion with
dwarven bargaining and with Khazad-dum in general made a great stepping
stone for Narvi to begin teaching him a fascinating aspect of dwarven
culture. And the favor was more than returned when Narvi went to visit the
elves. I love the fact that he got back at his uncle by explaining the
mathematics of accoustics to the elves, and I loved how after all the
differences, he began to find a host of similarities. And the references to
forbidden subjects (from dwarven women to the kinslaying) were also great,
prompting good reactions from both Celebrimbor and from Narvi.

Go Telchar. I really enjoyed this look into his mind, and I think it very
appropriate that one of the greatest dwarven craftsmen would look on the
creation of one of his greatest works as the creation of a child. Or even a
lover, depending upon which metaphor he's using. This read almost like a
poem, and the theme of creation was very powerful. But it wasn't creation
solely on Telchar's part, and I love the idea that the sword has already
chosen a form and it is Telchar's role to find that form and bring its shape
to light. Brilliant imagery all throughout, but I think the imagery was most
powerful when Narsil was done and Telchar held it up and discovered the name
it had chosen. And there again, it's the sword that's doing the choosing.
Kind of like a runaway muse in writing, but much more powerful and profound
here. Great job on the narrative, and thank you so much for paying such
wonderful tribute to this dwarf!

awarded to the "transient' elf, who was indeed quite transient for the
entire piece, popping up now and then to give aid before disappearing once
more. Very elven. And while I agree that Gimli could definitely heave aside
a troll carcass, it was indeed more dramatic to give him some help. I love
the way he characterizes everyone in his head, from Pippin and Legolas to
the green youth that helps him. And the descriptions he gives of the
battlefield, particularly that of golden hair, were striking. Brilliant
narrative work, and very moving story about Gimli's struggle to find Pippin.

very touching story. It's not clear if he get's back there for real or only
in his mind

Loved the imagery. My favorite phrase was the water bringing forth "strength
and form," though I also liked the lights scattered about the dome. There is
indeed beauty here, and I like the metaphor of fallow ore. Nicely done.
