Title: To the Sea · Author: SilverMoonLady · Genres: Adventure · ID: 770
Reviewer: Rhapsody · 2005-09-20 08:48:54
To the Sea is a delicately story written by SilverMoonLady. A while ago I
was studying the family tree of the Tooks and yes, Isengar jumped at me.
When I read the summary of this story, I was more then curious to read this
story. Truth to be told, I was swept away by this beautiful story. Why is a
hobbit drawn to the sea? Surely, Isengard did not only want to forget his
grief about loosing Tigerlily. Since men share the fate of hobbits, why
should a hobbit not feel the call of the sea when all he longs for is
stripped away from him? And I admit, SilverMoonLady, I am especially charmed
by your use of Dutch names for the rusty sailors. That most certainly added
that extra flair to it.

Back to Isengar. I love the way how this story unfolds to the reader, like
an onion, you slowly peel away the layers while reading and when you do find
out about his initial reason, you also realise that this hobbit found his
home at sea and why he cannot ignore the thrall of sailing. It is good to
read that his family lets him go in the end, understanding why this is so
important for this Hobbit. A poignant little tale, your writing style is
captivating and your usage of canon characters is perfect! It almost makes
me feel like this came from the professor himself. Although the story comes
full circle in the end, as a reader you can only wish for more stories
written by SilverMoonLady.

Title: How Legolas Proved His Bowmanship · Author: Chathol-linn · Genres:
Adventure · ID: 8
Reviewer: Rhapsody · 2005-09-20 09:03:23
A beautiful little tale on Legolas and his natural talent for bows.
Chathol-linn shows us a small part of Legolas life and the foreshadowing of
a classical hero to be. The events she lets Legolas experience: it shows her
research and love for this character. There was one thing that I noted and
that is that the pacing of her story telling feels off by the usage of the
passive voice, which causes the story to feel out of balance.

Title: The Mirror of Angelica · Author: Salsify · Races/Places: Hobbits: War
of the Ring · ID: 997
Reviewer: Dwimordene · 2005-09-20 09:10:26
What a wonderful use this old mathom of a fact has been put to! The
occupation of the Shire is a fascinating topic, but it's a little too close
to home. I like this view from the perspective of ordinary people who aren't
trying to be heroes, usually, they just are caught up in something they
can't fathom and can't escape. Some choose to be more active, as Aldo does,
if only for a little while. But others don't, and are caught in an
impossible situation of being simply attached to the wrong people, where
they are forced to answer questions they never could've answered, and are
forced to test their loyalty to no end: there's nothing they could've told
even if they'd wanted to, yet they will inevitably end up telling more than
they would've liked anyway, out of desperation.

Angelica falls into this latter category, although thanks to the slight
warning she'd had from Largo, she was able to piece it all together just in
time to arrive at the bare *fact* that Aldo must've been involved with
Fatty's group somehow. But she couldn't have told much more than that, save
to mention that fact and Coral's name. That alone would've been devastating
enough, but that old, unwanted mirror which had seemed to be the hottest and
longest-lived insult to her pride ends up saving her, as proof that she
values her own looks over anyone else's safety--that saves her from an
inquisition she might've failed (for whatever reason) and so lets her keep
the secret she had wanted to keep. The accidents of fate end up saving her,
and allowing one branch of the resistance to continue on a little longer.
Great job, Salsify!

Title: A Walk In The Woods · Author: Anso the Hobbit · Genres: Adventure ·
ID: 1179
Reviewer: Rhapsody · 2005-09-20 09:20:39
It all should have been so simple, but Anso the Hobbit manages to create
quite an adventure with Merry and Pippin. Given the age of the hobbits and
the simple way on how Anso shows us the events, I cannot help myself to
quickly read further. Leave it to Anso to turn simple things of life in
angsty moments just like that, feeling for them so deeply when they face
hurt and fear. I like the simpleness of this little tale that shows the
reader how Pippin is much stronger that many would think of that age. A
great story Anso!

Title: The Comfort of Good Friends · Author: SilverMoonLady · Books/Time:
Gap-Filler: Hobbits · ID: 626
Reviewer: Rhapsody · 2005-09-20 09:33:43
What a wonderful story told by SilverMoonLady. I like the way she structured
his story: it slowly merges into the flashback of Merry when he enters the
hall of Crickhollow. As a reader, it almost feels like if you are standing
there with Merry.

SilverMoonLady portrays the characters truthfully and gives them all the
very good reasons why they should come with Frodo. Pippin’s reaction is
fierce and very understandable, but so is Merry’s… why on earth should he
not question Pippin’s strength to come along? The emotions are raw and the
tension between Merry and Pippin is very tangible. This is something I
appreciate in the author’s story: even though the reasons are conflicting,
SilverMoonLady makes you feel the reasons of the why. I love the way how she
wrote poor Sam, who got caught in between, and gave his very own reasons why
he should come along in his own and quiet manner.

Craftily, she writes to a satisfactionary conclusion that not only gives the
hobbits a good feeling, but the reader as well. Her story telling technique
is vivid an makes it an excellent read. A great gapfiller SilverMoonLady!

Title: March Frost · Author: SilverMoonLady · Books/Time: Post-Ring War ·
ID: 769
Reviewer: Rhapsody · 2005-09-20 09:44:59
March Frost is a heartfelt story written by SilverMoonLady. While reading, I
felt so incredibly sorry for Estella. That she has to go through such horror
and feel so helpless at the same time when a nightmare hits Merry. Merry’s
nightmare is incredibly vivid. In a graceful manner, SilverMoonLady lets the
reader feel what must have passed through Merry’s mind when he fought the
Witchking together with Éowyn; his deep friendship for this lady shines
through in every word the author pens down on paper. Also, I find this tale
a treasure to read: much attention goes through Frodo and his sacrifices,
but finds healing on the shores of Valinor. Merry on the other hand has to
face the touch of the Witchking every year and his loving wife cannot heal
this hurt with her love. Yet, I feel so happy for Merry to have found such a
lovely wife that loves him so deeply. A great and captivating story, with a
great characterisation and potrayal of canon... Thank you for writing this
SilverMoonLady!

Title: Moving Mountains · Author: SilverMoonLady · Races/Places: Hobbits ·
ID: 627
Reviewer: Rhapsody · 2005-09-20 09:57:33
Wow. Yes, these were my first thoughts when I finished this story. What a
subject to address in a hobbity tale with so much writing talent.
SilverMoonLady made me feel for every character involved: from the little
babe Pippin, his sister Pearl and Esmeralda… Simply amazing!

Poor Pearl, she so fears for being separated from her family that she goes
at length to hide it from her father. I felt very relieved when Esmeralda
stepped in, the loving moment with bouncy Merry felt so contradicting in
what was going on, but very fitting at that moment in the story. The moment
where Esmeralda tries to convince Eglantine to nurse her babe was deeply
moving. In that moment, you see the darkness where Eglantine is put through,
but by moving yet another mountain, Esmeralda achieves the almost
impossible. In the end, where SilverMoonLady finishes her tale, I feel very
proud of Esmeralda for all she did and that she will always step in again
when her sister in law needs her. Saradoc’s resolve only adds to the strong
family bond moment. A great and captivating story SilverMoonLady. I admire
the manner how you handled a serious subject like post-natal depression in
such easy to understand language and with great story telling. Simply
amazing.

Title: A Diamond In The Storm · Author: SilverMoonLady · Genres: Romance ·
ID: 780
Reviewer: Rhapsody · 2005-09-20 10:21:05
What a complete story with such exciting characters! Now where shall I
start? SilverMoonLady shows us how Pippin found a fiery match in Diamond: a
strong and independent hobbit lass, formed by her childhood and tweenager
years. Diamond is just one of the boys and really does not like the manner
of how Pippin enters her life and makes sure he feels that in every manner
you can think off. In a well chosen pacing, SilverMoonLady lets both slowly
fall for each other, not to be separated from each other for the rest of her
life. I really like the way SilverMoonLady writes the war veteran Pippin,
the small details (like the cloak, sword, tunic) gives you a good sense of
the time period. But this is not all, besides a great romance story, the
author also presents us an adventure and mystery. While I turned the leaves
in a quick pace to find out more, she surprised me by who is behind this at
all. Was it one of the Istari? Was it one of the Witchkings men that still
remained on Arda after he was defeated? The scenes with the tree roots was
well written and made me want to read more and go on.

SilverMoonLady writes a captivating tale where she knows her canon
characters very well, but also presents us well-developed original
characters in a well-paced story with solid plots and development. This is
extremely well written, entertaining and gives the reader enough room to
have their own imagination prickled. Great story telling, SilverMoonLady!

Title: Under the Bed · Author: Piplover (aka Pipfan) · Genres: Humor:
Hobbits · ID: 1192
Reviewer: Rhapsody · 2005-09-20 10:37:08
What an amazing story written by Piplover. In sharp prose, the author
describes the setting at the Kings Court, how the whole fellowship finally
sat there together again. In every well-chosen word, you could feel the
camaraderie shared. But the, the hobbits start to related a story about wee!
bouncy little Pippin and how his two evil causing thought how they could
pull a prank on him like that. The way the two tell the story... oh I had to
laugh so hard. A good thing Pip finally got his revenge.

This is so excellent written that I could imagine how it looked like and
caused a laugh when I thought about it. For example: a hobbit under one
arm... what a sight to behold!

Ah and Bilbo! I loved him so much in this tale. He surely had quite a lot to
put up with such adventurous lads around. But I personally think Bilbo
calmed down the little faunt with such love and a threat aimed at the two
lads, I am certain they would never do it again. But the great thing about
this story is how, even so many years later, Pippin evens the score and
returns the favour. A well-balanced and lively story written by Piplover,
even after a re-read it still has the same freshness and humour when I read
it for the first time. Great writing Piplover! You have a knack for writing
humour.

Title: Maps · Author: Kit5 (aka Pippinswolf) · Books/Time: The Lord of The

Reviewer: Rhapsody · 2005-09-20 10:51:09
Ah, how much I love stories that features Bilbo. Even when it is just for a
little bit. Pippinswolf writes a captivating story that makes the reader
wondering what would have happened if, on that very evening, it was decided
that Merry would go with Frodo to Mount Doom instead of Sam. This short
story is very thought provoking and written with eye for detail,
characterisation, and great dialogue. It makes me wonder what truly would
have happened if Sam said: ok, you are much stronger and wiser then I am Mr
Merry. Pippinswolf also tells us a bit more on Merry’s background and his
fascination for maps: his training as master of Buckland already started
before he joined Frodo, Sam and Pippin on this journey.

I admire the manner how Pippinswolf tells the story through Sam’s eyes,
which isn’t always that easy. Especially to word his thoughts and lines
spoken But the author knows every character very well and it shines through
in every line in this story. The pacing is fluent, the use of words is
carefully balanced. A beautiful tale Pippinswolf, thank you for writing it!

This was a cute story. Sam's inexperience with maps was well-noted, and

really liked was the bit of foreshadowing we see at the very end.
interesting that when the hobbits do get separated from the Big Folk, it's
not Merry who saves them.

Beautiful imagery here! I wouldn't mind saying a picture of Elrond and
Celebrian as they're portrayed here. And it's fitting that any child of
Galadriel and Celeborn would put her potential mate to a competition of
sorts. Not that I had done a lot of thinking about this subject, but this
drabble certainly does a good job with the scene it's trying to tell.

This one made me want to laugh out loud! Anyone with a cat will appreciate
the sort of self-important humour that Jay infuses this short piece with.
And it boils down all that confusing debate on matters both High and
Important (to those too concerned with themselves to care about such things)
to all that really matters. ANd it was hilarious to think of Elrond as
someone's elf. Even the greatest of us are subject to the whims of our pets,
I suppose, and cats more than most. This is a really amusing drabble, and I
highly recommend it for anyone who is getitng a bit worn out with the
intricacies of canon -- it really does put everything in perspective.

AuntieMeesh gives us a beautiful little and fluffy Merry tale as a faunt.
Even when they are so small, the urge to snack is always present and I was
pleasantly surprised that after the sneaking of Merry he was caught by
Frodo. What seemed a crawl in the bushes now turned out to be sneaking in
the hall of Bag End! AuntieMeesh has this writing talent to write this story
from a little child's perspective and tenderly shifts the point of view to
Frodo who takes care of this little hobbit in a tender way. For me this
little story was too short and yet not: a beautiful story AuntieMeesh, very
enjoyable.

So many of the drabbles in this category came out of my birthday request
last year, and this is another one. I was truly blessed to ahve so many
insights into what is probably my favourite race. Dwarves are enigmatic, not
least of all because we just see Gimli in isolation in _The Lord of the
Rings_, but drabbles like this give them depth. They also show that dwarves
were, unlike orcs, more than just killing machines. I find it truly touching
that, when the odds are so overwhelmingly against him, Ori tries to fight
the darkness not with an axe but with a pen. In the end it's his weapon of
choice that saves him from obscurity, not his comrades'.

I've read on this theme, and it's so hard to decide which I like the most
"What can be Saved" certainly has its qualities to recommend it, but this
one has such a lighthearted quality to it. First Isildur's anxious waiting,
then Anarion's unexpected arrival -- hope still blooms on the Isle of Gift
after all, it seems. All in all a very well done drabble. Fans of Numenor

Oh, this is beautiful. You have hit at the heart of grief, and given it as
much justice as I think anyone can in just 100 words. Add to that the
differences recognised between Naugrim and Eldar (or Edain, I wasn't
completely sure) and the scene is beautiful. Some things do unite those
people not yet subdued to shadow so much that they can still feel for
themselves. It was the little phrases that did it for me, really: unheedful
of the battle raging around them and so on. All in all a very true-feeling
drabble, if not "nice" in the classical sense because of the subject matter.
I was honoured to receive this as a birthday present.

This is a very touching and moving story. Following Faramir's thoughts
interspersed with the preparations for what he thinks is his last battle
brings home his despair and at the end his resignation to his fate. I like
it that he asks for volunteers and sends home all the soldiers who have
family. Although their future is also grim if Sauron prevails.

This story brings Faramir to life, his noble character and his loyalty to
his father and Gondor even if it means his death.

Nicely done.

I love the way this is structured. The comments literally flow all around
the newlyweds, who stand at the center of the drabble, as the center of
attention. And the visual image is very sharp, a sort of yin-yang of silver
and black whose oppositional balance is belied by a common strength of will.
And Arwen here seems well-foreshadowed in that common trait—what stronger
will does a child need than to transform herself metaphysically into another
kind of being for love?

suppose this would be the "worst young rascal in Buckland" at his best,
managing to be caught in the middle of past and present lovers, both of whom
have excellent reasons to be charging hard and trying to put the soccer ball
into his forehead rather than into the net. Classic triangulation that begs
for Freud for to come do an analysis of the interpersonal dynamics. A blend

Ah, another occupation of the Shire fic! We need more of these. Marta gives
a great series of snapshots, and manages to do it on the theme of the five
classical elements without that theme feeling too forced and intrusive. They
fit the stories, rather than the stories being cut to fit the elements. So
thumbs up on that score, Marta!

And this is some serious business—we get more of Fatty in the Lockholes than
in the resistance as such, and from the suffocating, invasive presence of
his earthen prison, to the water he spares to wash his wounds, to the fire
of his tormentors, the horror of solitary confinement as a political
prisoner comes to the fore. There was a great little moment in "Fire" that
struck me as right: in pain, there's nothing beyond wanting it to stop, no
real thinking, so it's only after his tormentors have withdrawn that Fatty
gains distance enough to relate that pain to his life, and to his life as a
resistance fighter and realize what's been done to him. Well done, Marta!

This is a theme that deserves exploration. The extinction of a language as a
living language is a dreadful thing, particularly when it doesn't come over
time, as people move and adjust to each other and gradually, gradually
abandon their former speech, but is forcibly imposed. A whole way of
understanding the world is shuttered, and it robs the victims of their
ability to speak for themselves, reducing them to being spoken of by others
who may not have their interests at heart. There's a kind of violence that
comes with murdering one's own kind, yes, but there are other ways of
killing people and Thingol's ban is much more insidious. Well done, Joan
