Brilliant development of an entire subculture among the Rangers. And when I
say development, I mean full-fledged realization. So many angles and
perspectives were covered, from the grizzled old captains to the new
recruits. Tarkil himself was certainly a developed character, complete with
strengths and faults, and I love the way this story wove in and out of canon
events, such Aragorn meeting the hobbits in Bree as well as the Grey
Company. Great attention to detail and excellent characterization,
especially in making all the OCs come to life.

The "existential Aragorn" had some fascinating musings. This was probably
the best romp through Aragorn's head that I have ever found. My favorite
line from the story sums up what I like best about this particular
characterization of Aragorn: "You value your honor too much to purchase it."
That seemed to be the capstone for a lot of what Aragorn was wrestling with,
first when he couldn't kill Indirkan and later when he was trying to decide
whether or not to trust him. It all came down honor in the end. And also
whether Aragorn could trust his own judgement, which was an interesting
problem in and of itself. I loved the part where he went through what each
of his incarnations might do and ultimately decided that he didn't know
Aragorn well enough to know what Aragorn would do. He was definitely
feverish, but his insights were still sharp, regardless. And I very much
enjoyed the way this story was brought full circle once he was crowned king
of Gondor. And how Indirkan turned out to be kin in more than just matters
of honor. Great story! Now what about that sequel? "Dynasty," anyone?

I loved the cultural exploration in this story and all the little things
that were highlighted, such as Edhelwen being the first to see if the Ranger
carried a second sword, which custom lead into the custom of the second
sword itself. The explanation for that was brilliant, and I loved the way
that Beleg tried to dance around Tarkil's curiosity, with mixed results. And
Tarkil himself was hilarious. Rarely are children portrayed so well.
Celepharn's treatment of his brother was perfect, and I was reminded very
much of my own brothers and they way they acted toward each other. Great
story and great use of OCs.

The balance between humor and drama is sometimes hard to find, but I think
Dwimordene nails it in this story. It starts hilariously, and I had trouble
holding back my laughter. But then it becomes a bit more serious, and the
frank discussion between Halbarad and Aragorn on the need to produce heirs
and the differences between the way Elves see love and the way Men see it
was fascinating. It ultimately resolved again into a much lighter tone,
though perhaps not as light as it had begun. It's a loaded story, for as
teasing as it might be in the beginning, and I love sifting the layers. But
most of all, I think I love the characterization of Aragorn and Halbarad.
The dialogue between them is fast, as one would expect between two friends,
and they respond to changes in mood or tone very quickly. And it's a very
good depiction of a relatively young Aragorn and Halbarad. You can see the
roots of their later personalities, but there's still an innocence about
them that is both refreshing and bittersweet. Great story.

Fabulous characterizations and one of the most entertaining confrontations
I've ever seen. The fact that this confrontation comes from protective
brother and would-be husband (plus the fact that this protective brother is
Eomer and the would-be husband is Faramir) makes it that much more
enjoyable. Eomer was such a strong presence, all but barging in and then
dropping not-so-subtle hints about what the Riders of Rohirrim are willing
to endure. His challenge was a good one, and Faramir answers it well. He's
also in great form, and I love the observation that Eomer's belt is twisted.
It's a little thing, but it's something that Faramir would notice. And had
Eomer been an enemy, he would have probably used it against him. But
strangely enough, this seems to break the ice between the two, and one of
his jests about riding finally seems to register in the end. Wonderful
story, and thank you for making both Faramir and Eomer appear as strong as
possible.

This story caught me a bit by surprise with its characterization of the Wild
Men. They're certainly out of the ordinary, but they seem to have very keen
insights. I really enjoyed their conversation with Aragorn, and he also
seemed to draw quite a bit from it. I loved the question of whether he was
running to or from, and how Aragorn answered it in the end by remembering
Arwen. I think the Wild Men might have caught that as well, or sensed
something of it. And their observation that it wasn't quite time yet was
fascinating. I now wish there was a bit more that might explain exactly what
these people see in Aragorn.

This non-fiction essay offers a balanced look at what religious practices
were, or more significantly, were not observed by the various cultures in
Middle-earth. Each culture, Rohir, Men, Hobbits, are looked at individually.
Although I was disappointed in the single reference to the Elven traditions,
it is a useful tool when trying to write a character and decide how they
might curse or look for help -- rarely would it be how we might traditional
'pray' although it is pointed out that even Sam called upon Elbereth (in my
own words) the way a Catholic person might call upon a saint.

An interesting read, and a useful source when world-building and
character-creating.

Nasty spiders combined with nasty training companions all cause problems for
Daeron and Legolas, poor little elves. Well, perhaps they're not so poor,
nor so little anymore.A continuation of the characters from Serious Trouble,
Daeron and Legolas are now old enough to be training to help guard Mirkwood.
Karen has created a new character - Belas - who is a wonderful antagonist.

Karenator has written wonderful descriptions of battle and all while using
first person POV. It is very interesting to see all the different views of
similar situations -- especially when Legolas' brother feels so guilty when
Legolas is hurt. Descriptions of the rock in the water, the elven ties to
nature, while still maintaining humorous 'Daeron' sayings tied this story
together perfectly.

Karenator's inspired idea of how the red-banded spiders originated was an
interesting twist and added to the depth of characters of the cultures she
looks at, and I liked the obvious effort into researching spiders behaviour
made it that much more believable.

Her writing is clear and engaging, with emotion and detail in just the right
quantities. I have often looked to her stories for ideas of how to write
insults, and the 'pretty elf' reference cracks me up everytime. I always
look forward to her writing and this story did not disappoint.

This story had me sitting down and reading it late into the night, it
captured my attention so. A lovely blend of humour and description using an
original male character, a friend of a young Legolas, to view the dangers of
Mirkwood .

Daeron is a full, well-rounded character who has his own unique personality
that remains elf-like and yet humourous where so many elven stories I have
read have elves as ethereal, almost humourless beings. The writer's ability
to capture his worries and joys brought this story to life.

It was also nice to see a 'nice' Thranduil rather than the monster many in
the fanfic world try to portray him as.

Quotes like "Now, there is a language that has no rhyme or reason! It is
about as pleasing to the ear as a blade scrapped across stone" just grabbed
my attention and held it. Yet hidden amongst the humour are deep questions
... ones that have often been asked -- how can 'good' people do 'bad'
things?

The author has the ability to keep the reader engaged, while presenting
characters with depth. She has an easy to read style yet manages to capture
the emotion and essence of each scene.

A lovely story!

Beethoven's 7th has provided an interesting look into the workings of an
Orc's mind in this story. I've always wondered if there was an element of
good left in an Orc, considering that usually evil does have some element of
good in it and it would be nice to think that an Orc, especially one who was
originally an Elf and not born Orkan, could remember and return to that
world that he was supposed to inhabit, the Elven world.

I like how her character thinks 'misterfrodo' is a single name and doesn't
see it as two separate words. It is attention to details like this that make
me like a story because it shows that the author is attempting to get into
the character's mind and provides a less flat character.

While staying canon to Frodo's and Sam's movements, the author has managed
to inject a separate viewpoint, and an original idea within the storyline of
the Quest which is a difficult task to achieve. I hope the author continues
writing, and allowing us to see Tolkien's world through fresh eyes. And that
is the whole idea of fanfic writing.

Renewal is a very interesting peek into how Celeborn and Thranduil view the
changing of ME and their decision to go to the West. I think that Bodkin
manages to capture Celeborn's consideration of his choice, along with his
conversation with Thranduil, in a thoughtful, believable manner.

Bodkin's use of metaphors and similes helps you picture the woods
surrounding them ... " It was as if they sought the comfort of the closeness
of the few remaining elves, approaching like dogs slipping closer to the
fire on a bleak winter’s night." She also captures their emotions while not
being dragged down into angst which would have changed the enjoyability of
the story.

I also like how the author gets inside the characters relationships and with
a single line can describe so much -- Elrohir talking about how his
grandparents would fight was hilarious and yet kept everyone within
character. To insert humour while maintaining solemnity is a difficult
balancing act that Bodkin has achieved admirably.

A lovely story about how the decision was made to finally abandon Middle
Earth and go West by the final elves, treated with dignity and respect.

For a non-horse person, this page has often been referred to while I have
been trying desperately to figure out my characters' horses. I had no idea
that horses could change colour as they got older -- that grey horses
actually could turn completely white like that.

This is a great page to use for us 'townies' to use and it's a hidden jewel
that needs to be exposed.

For me as a writer, it contains the little details that I often find so
intriguing and love to put into a story -- that if a horse has a white
'stocking' then the hoof will also be light or how the sun or sweat can
bleach a horse's colour. As a reader, I love it when a writer includes
little details like that to help bring us into the character's world so I
appreciated finding a page that included such detail that I could use within
my stories. And the links to the pictures are helpful too because the way a
horse holds its head, or just stands can also be useful. It was especially
interesting because the page puts modern day horses into the frame of the
Rohirrim horses.

And it also provides a chuckle to see horses with Tolkien names -- I still
wonder what some of her clients must think. I know my own family gives me
looks for being such a Tolkien fanatic.

I cannot tell you the number of times I have turned to Travel Times in
Middle-earth to research a trip my character would take, or how many times I
have recommended it and provided the links to it for other Tolkien fanfic
writers who immediately have added it to their list of favourites also. I
know of no other resource that provides such absolutely necessary
information for a fanfic writer who wishes to stay to canon.

Travel Times in Middle-earth has been presented as an easy-to-read chart
with all the starting and ending points and various stops in between as well
as including minimum and maximum lengths of times to reach each point for
any journey in Middle-earth. Alternative routes have also been included so
when I want my character to take a 'different' route, thankfully someone has
already thought of it for me. They've even thought to include how long it
would take if travelling by wagon as well as how often you would need to
rest a horse, and other problems that might be encountered.

On the occasion that I have had my character ride to someone not included on
this chart (only once so far since I was taking a character to Forchel -- a
very obscure place in Tolkien's world) they have included a guide of how
long a horse and rider would take, both in minimum and maximum times so I
can calculate the trip myself.

I highly recommend this extremely useful guide and truly believe that if you
write fanfic this will become a resource that you cannot do without.

And I didn't forget my towel. ;)

I have used this story many times when writing my own chapters about my two
OC's as an example of how men and women think differently about the same
situation. The authors have taken the idea of following a Rohan warrior and
his wife for a few days while he takes respite from his duties and they have
given us a glimpse of the regular soldier's life into the workings of the
differences between the sexes..

I like being able to see into both Rowen and Halig's minds and what is
important to each character, and why they are reacting the way they are.

The little touches, like how the women talk when they are preparing a meal,
what a lovely glimpse into how women really do talk (men would probably be
shocked if they heard some of our conversations). And Halig's thought of how
he uses his axe to hew Orcs' heads but how it can also be used to chop the
wood to keep his family warm ... what a wonderful way to get into his
character's head.

I have been in discussions arguing against present tense as I generally find
it jarring, yet it was my third reading of this story before I realized this
story is written in present tense, the authors have told the story so well.
Yet its use adds an interesting aspect to the story, as you seem to feel
that you are being carried along with the characters and helps draw you into
their world.

It is a story that I feel I can go back and read many times and each time
pick up a new nuance, and that's what I love from reading a story. Depth and
detail, and these two authors have delivered wonderfully.

I love the way Dana writes Pippin, especially in this Cormallen piece. So
many bright spots shine out:

"No," Pippin says stubbornly; then he does.
"I'm no child," Pippin says, softly. "I am a soldier, you know."
Pippin sits up smiling, hair tousled, cheeks warm with new, unfevered color.
"Merry? Why, you are almost as good as breakfast."
"As well as ever," Pippin smiles. "Though, I do rather have to relieve
myself, cousin."

I guess there's a limit on the amount of quoting or I'd clip more. But these
little snapshots of time during Pippin's recovery at Cormallen are
wonderfully written, the characterisations ring true, the pictures are
deftly sketched with an economy of words, and all fit together in a logical
progression.

A very satisfying piece to read, start to (perfect) finish.

I can practically see the brightness of that day, and the feelings the
memories must invoke for the Queen. Well done!

Well written, expressive, true to the characters; this drabble does exactly
what one should, put bring forth a point, a feeling, and Gilraen's loss of
hope is evident here. Well done!

Very sweet; a beautiful and sad thought, to remember and remind of those who
gave to the last measure.

The last line, particularly of a drabble, is often what makes the difference
between memorable and soon forgotten; your final words bring it all home:

"King's Man, he swears, and weeps."
