An intersting view of Elrond. I liek the way that you set up this scene, as
it gives Elrond more depth and gives his actions a stronger basis. Your
characterisations are clever.

An intersting and clever tale. I like the way you form this story , it is
very clever. Your characterisations are good. I like the discussion of the
printing press, it seems to be a very logical thing for them to be able to
make. It is intersting how you have Elphir seeing all the problems with it
and Amrothos seeing all the potential. A good thing Aragorn is there to
mediate betweent hem.

An interesting tale. I really like the way you show the interaction between
these two characters. It is very clever and fits very well with the ways
each are portrayed in canon. I like the way you have Elrond drawing out the
paralels between his situation and Faramir's.

trying to find the record so much that he doesn't even notice Aragorn

A very intersting tale. I like the way you show Sauron, you turn him into a
fascinating and in some ways sympathetic character. This is amazingly well
done and very cleverly for you keep well with canon and hyet give a totally
different perspective. The analysis you give in your notes adds to the
sotry, I look forward to reading more of your work at some point.

A lovely tale. The way you show this family and their interactions is
wonderful. I liek the way you show Denethor as a sypathetic character and
show the other memebrs of his family similarly well. The plot is clever and
the way you show customs of Gondor is very clver for you manage to introduce
them without over much explanation.

A sad but interesting tale. It is very clever how you take one line of canon
and turn it into such a tale. Your characterisation of the soldier is
wonderful and cleverly done, through the piece you build up a picture of
him. I like the way that you te this story in with your other story about
the frog, it is an amusing link but fits well into the sotry.

A very clever chaacterisation of the narrator. You seem to get right into
the hobbit mindset. It is very clever the way you tell the events witht he
little insertions of what the narrator is doign and their thoughts. I like
the way you seem to capture the atmosphere of the Shire and the snobbery of
most of its inabitants so clearly without overdoing it.

This is a great intimate scene between Faramir and Aragorn. It gives one
explanation for the foundation of Aragorn's and Faramir's friendship and
working relationship. Here Aragorn puts the wellfare of Minas Tirith into
Faramir's hands and Faramir reassures him that he will be loyal to the king
to the best of his ability.

I especially like that Aragorn makes sure he has eye-contact with Faramir
when he comes to the part in his answer to the oath of fealty where he says
"fealty with love". I think that is the key between Aragorn and Faramir. A
nice contrast to Denthor's reaction who showed 'pride' but not love.

A lovely view of Boromir. It is clever how you show so much of his character
in so few words. It is also clever the way that you seem to catch a tone of
speach in so few wrds without it seemign forced.

Very odd. On first reading, it gives a strong impression, but a degree of
confusion. However the imagry is very clever and makes a kind of sence, but
is still a bit strange seeming (if I am reading it correctlty).

In this story Boromir gets confirmation that he is gay. But what makes this
story so much more than the typical slash story is the supporting
characters. The family of Imrahil of Dol Amroth, who only garners short
mentioning in the LOTR, comes to life. My favorite character is armsmaster
Andrahar, an original character, who fits seemlessly into the world of
Tolkien.

The bed scene is done very tastefully.

introduction on Pippin and waiting for marriage, yo manage to set this story
up in a way that works well enough to make the reader suspend dibelief at
the senario. I liked your characterisation and the way you showed hobbit

Such a lovely story, that really gets into the heads of both Pippin and
Frodo, in good times and bad. I love seeing the little vignettes of Pippin
and Frodo in happier times, but each still wtih all the qualities that they
will carry as adults. And the sense of displacement in both of them, not
knowing if or how they can reconcile who they are now with the hobbits they
once were, is finely drawn. Plus a sweet comforting ending to boot. A good
read.

Intriguing idea. Sam doesn't seem tempted by much of what the Ring has to
offer, but toward the end, I'm sure he felt it more. And I love the idea
that he might transfer some of the temptation into what happens to Frodo in
the end. The Ring doesn't leave anything untouched, does it?

There's an interesting bit of foreshadowing in this drabble, both in Bilbo's

Brilliant drabbles. I liked Merry's and Pippin's best, I think, because the
images they brought to mind were so clear. I can see Merry with his back to
the wall and his sword outward, ready to fend off an attack. And I can see
Pippin huddled in the center of his bed, curled into a ball and waking every
so often to make sure it's still safe. The before and after pictures,
especially in Merry's case, are so different and they hint at such big
changes. During the day, hobbits seem to be hobbits, but at night, all bets
are off. Great concept!

I liked all the drabbles in this series, but "Air" and "Shadow" were

Great imagery! It was almost poetic, and I can clearly picture the dancers
spinning around in an effort to keep all of the fireworks in view. This
painted a beautiful picture of Bilbo's birthday, and I love how the title

There was something endlessly amusing about Merry posing as all of
Thranduil's army. I also liked Pippin's title of His Majesty. Very
light-hearted, but the tone changes quickly in the second half of this
story, and things are no longer quite so amusing. The contrast between the
two is staggering, and it really helps bring home just how much things have
changed for both Merry and Pippin. I love the way that Pippin's pledge to
Denethor was tied in with his pleadings for Merry's life after they were
taken by the orcs. That was a great way to explain a future event as well as
to show how much Pippin has grown since he wandered around kitchens setting
dragons on elven armies.

This was a fun exploration of hobbit birthday customs as well as byrdings,
but as interesting as that was, I think what I liked best about this story
was Pearl's characterization. In particular, I liked the way she forced a
promise out of Merry not to hang out of any more windows. She's wise to his
tricks, but she turned it into a game of sorts so that it never became
badgering. I really like that ability of hers.

I like the idea that, even this young, Merry's mind was already turning to
thoughts of adventure. Interesting that Frodo would play the part of
Gollum/Smaug in Merry's imagination. Good little bit of foreboding.

I love the feeling of nostalgia in this story, and I like the way that hints
were dropped without ever revealing too much. As readers, we knew that this
toy meant something to Bilbo, but we didn't know what until he began telling
the story and we didn't know who until he revealed that it was Merry's
mother. Very good pacing and good story-telling from Bilbo. Working a
pseudo-flashback into a section of dialogue can be tricky, but it was pulled
off here without a hitch.

I like the way Frodo dealt with Pippin's grousing about his lessons. He's a
very persuasive hobbit when he wants to be. And great foreshadowing with his
thoughts about avoiding an adventure if it involves Pippin, Merry, and Sam.
They sound as though they're already having a minor adventure outside. Bilbo
is wise indeed to avoid it.

Very sobering piece with some great contrasts to set everything apart. The
imagery on the ride north was beautiful, and it was even more beautiful by
sunset on the ride back. This, of course, was a superb contrast to the fact
that the war still goes on, despite the blossoming of another Age. The idea
that this was the first time that sons were being sent forth really hit me
hard. It's one thing to go yourself into battle for the sake of the next
generation. It's another thing to send that next generation into battle when
you'd supposedly done the fighting for them. Loved the words about remaining
worthy of their valor. Great introspection and beautiful contrasts.

An intersting and clever tale. I like the way you form this story , it is
very clever. Your characterisations are good. I like the discussion of the
printing press, it seems to be a very logical thing for them to be able to
make. It is intersting how you have Elphir seeing all the problems with it
and Amrothos seeing all the potential. A good thing Aragorn is there to
mediate betweent hem.

fascinating and in some ways sympathetic character. This is amazingly well
done and very cleverly for you keep well with canon and hyet give a totally

wonderful. I liek the way you show Denethor as a sypathetic character and
show the other memebrs of his family similarly well. The plot is clever and
the way you show customs of Gondor is very clver for you manage to introduce

A sad but interesting tale. It is very clever how you take one line of canon
and turn it into such a tale. Your characterisation of the soldier is
wonderful and cleverly done, through the piece you build up a picture of
him. I like the way that you te this story in with your other story about
the frog, it is an amusing link but fits well into the sotry.

A very clever chaacterisation of the narrator. You seem to get right into
the hobbit mindset. It is very clever the way you tell the events witht he
little insertions of what the narrator is doign and their thoughts. I like
the way you seem to capture the atmosphere of the Shire and the snobbery of
most of its inabitants so clearly without overdoing it.

This is a great intimate scene between Faramir and Aragorn. It gives one
explanation for the foundation of Aragorn's and Faramir's friendship and
working relationship. Here Aragorn puts the wellfare of Minas Tirith into
Faramir's hands and Faramir reassures him that he will be loyal to the king
to the best of his ability.

I especially like that Aragorn makes sure he has eye-contact with Faramir
when he comes to the part in his answer to the oath of fealty where he says
"fealty with love". I think that is the key between Aragorn and Faramir. A
nice contrast to Denthor's reaction who showed 'pride' but not love.

a clever wya of saying much in so few words. You dialogue is belivable and

In this story Boromir gets confirmation that he is gay. But what makes this
story so much more than the typical slash story is the supporting
characters. The family of Imrahil of Dol Amroth, who only garners short
mentioning in the LOTR, comes to life. My favorite character is armsmaster
Andrahar, an original character, who fits seemlessly into the world of
Tolkien.

The bed scene is done very tastefully.

An interesting and moving tale. While I agree with your comment in the
introduction on Pippin and waiting for marriage, yo manage to set this story
up in a way that works well enough to make the reader suspend dibelief at
the senario. I liked your characterisation and the way you showed hobbit
society in the first half of he try. I think that it actually spolit the
story for me that in the seond alf you turned it into such a narrow andd

Such a lovely story, that really gets into the heads of both Pippin and
Frodo, in good times and bad. I love seeing the little vignettes of Pippin
and Frodo in happier times, but each still wtih all the qualities that they
will carry as adults. And the sense of displacement in both of them, not
knowing if or how they can reconcile who they are now with the hobbits they
once were, is finely drawn. Plus a sweet comforting ending to boot. A good
read.

Intriguing idea. Sam doesn't seem tempted by much of what the Ring has to
offer, but toward the end, I'm sure he felt it more. And I love the idea
that he might transfer some of the temptation into what happens to Frodo in

There's an interesting bit of foreshadowing in this drabble, both in Bilbo's

Brilliant drabbles. I liked Merry's and Pippin's best, I think, because the
images they brought to mind were so clear. I can see Merry with his back to
the wall and his sword outward, ready to fend off an attack. And I can see
Pippin huddled in the center of his bed, curled into a ball and waking every
so often to make sure it's still safe. The before and after pictures,
especially in Merry's case, are so different and they hint at such big
changes. During the day, hobbits seem to be hobbits, but at night, all bets
are off. Great concept!

What I really like about these drabbles is how hobbity they are. It's such a

I liked all the drabbles in this series, but "Air" and "Shadow" were
definitely my favorites. I love the idea of taking shadow and turning it
against their enemies, and I love the way air was used to set such an
ominous tone. It was a great way to begin, and it created a good mood for

spinning around in an effort to keep all of the fireworks in view. This
painted a beautiful picture of Bilbo's birthday, and I love how the title
seems to say that the hobbits were completely captivated by the fireworks. I
know I would have been if they were anything like their descriptions.
Beautiful writing.

There was something endlessly amusing about Merry posing as all of
Thranduil's army. I also liked Pippin's title of His Majesty. Very
light-hearted, but the tone changes quickly in the second half of this
story, and things are no longer quite so amusing. The contrast between the
two is staggering, and it really helps bring home just how much things have
changed for both Merry and Pippin. I love the way that Pippin's pledge to
Denethor was tied in with his pleadings for Merry's life after they were
taken by the orcs. That was a great way to explain a future event as well as
to show how much Pippin has grown since he wandered around kitchens setting
dragons on elven armies.

I love the way this little vignettes describes Pippin's toy. It's constantly
spinning and constantly in motion. I was almost dizzy, actually, and in
places, it made me think of what Pippin might have been like as a child.
Great imagery all throughout. Very vivid.

This was a fun exploration of hobbit birthday customs as well as byrdings,
but as interesting as that was, I think what I liked best about this story
was Pearl's characterization. In particular, I liked the way she forced a
promise out of Merry not to hang out of any more windows. She's wise to his
tricks, but she turned it into a game of sorts so that it never became
badgering. I really like that ability of hers.

I like the idea that, even this young, Merry's mind was already turning to
thoughts of adventure. Interesting that Frodo would play the part of
Gollum/Smaug in Merry's imagination. Good little bit of foreboding.

I love the feeling of nostalgia in this story, and I like the way that hints
were dropped without ever revealing too much. As readers, we knew that this
toy meant something to Bilbo, but we didn't know what until he began telling
the story and we didn't know who until he revealed that it was Merry's
mother. Very good pacing and good story-telling from Bilbo. Working a
pseudo-flashback into a section of dialogue can be tricky, but it was pulled
off here without a hitch.

I like the way Frodo dealt with Pippin's grousing about his lessons. He's a
very persuasive hobbit when he wants to be. And great foreshadowing with his
thoughts about avoiding an adventure if it involves Pippin, Merry, and Sam.
They sound as though they're already having a minor adventure outside. Bilbo
is wise indeed to avoid it.

Very sobering piece with some great contrasts to set everything apart. The
imagery on the ride north was beautiful, and it was even more beautiful by
sunset on the ride back. This, of course, was a superb contrast to the fact
that the war still goes on, despite the blossoming of another Age. The idea
that this was the first time that sons were being sent forth really hit me
hard. It's one thing to go yourself into battle for the sake of the next
generation. It's another thing to send that next generation into battle when
you'd supposedly done the fighting for them. Loved the words about remaining
worthy of their valor. Great introspection and beautiful contrasts.

An intersting and clever tale. I like the way you form this story , it is
very clever. Your characterisations are good. I like the discussion of the
printing press, it seems to be a very logical thing for them to be able to
make. It is intersting how you have Elphir seeing all the problems with it
and Amrothos seeing all the potential. A good thing Aragorn is there to
mediate betweent hem.

poro Faramir, though, losign his gift. The characterisations you ues in this
sttory and very good and seem beleivable. I especially like the way you show
Imrahil in the first bit.

A very intersting tale. I like the way you show Sauron, you turn him into a
fascinating and in some ways sympathetic character. This is amazingly well
done and very cleverly for you keep well with canon and hyet give a totally
different perspective. The analysis you give in your notes adds to the
sotry, I look forward to reading more of your work at some point.

A lovely tale. The way you show this family and their interactions is
wonderful. I liek the way you show Denethor as a sypathetic character and
show the other memebrs of his family similarly well. The plot is clever and
the way you show customs of Gondor is very clver for you manage to introduce
them without over much explanation.

A sad but interesting tale. It is very clever how you take one line of canon
and turn it into such a tale. Your characterisation of the soldier is
wonderful and cleverly done, through the piece you build up a picture of
him. I like the way that you te this story in with your other story about
the frog, it is an amusing link but fits well into the sotry.

A very clever chaacterisation of the narrator. You seem to get right into
the hobbit mindset. It is very clever the way you tell the events witht he
little insertions of what the narrator is doign and their thoughts. I like
the way you seem to capture the atmosphere of the Shire and the snobbery of
most of its inabitants so clearly without overdoing it.

This is a great intimate scene between Faramir and Aragorn. It gives one
explanation for the foundation of Aragorn's and Faramir's friendship and
working relationship. Here Aragorn puts the wellfare of Minas Tirith into
Faramir's hands and Faramir reassures him that he will be loyal to the king
to the best of his ability.

I especially like that Aragorn makes sure he has eye-contact with Faramir
when he comes to the part in his answer to the oath of fealty where he says
"fealty with love". I think that is the key between Aragorn and Faramir. A
nice contrast to Denthor's reaction who showed 'pride' but not love.

I like the way you show the contrasts between the two cultures of Rohan and

A well told and interesting tale. I like the way you characterise the
original character in this and have her telling it. This makes it a very
clear and understandable viewpoint and you manage to keep the tale within
this very easily. The way you show Faramir and Boromir is also clever and
overall this is a very nice tale.

In this story Boromir gets confirmation that he is gay. But what makes this
story so much more than the typical slash story is the supporting
characters. The family of Imrahil of Dol Amroth, who only garners short
mentioning in the LOTR, comes to life. My favorite character is armsmaster
Andrahar, an original character, who fits seemlessly into the world of
Tolkien.

The bed scene is done very tastefully.

An interesting and moving tale. While I agree with your comment in the
introduction on Pippin and waiting for marriage, yo manage to set this story
up in a way that works well enough to make the reader suspend dibelief at
the senario. I liked your characterisation and the way you showed hobbit
society in the first half of he try. I think that it actually spolit the

Such a lovely story, that really gets into the heads of both Pippin and
Frodo, in good times and bad. I love seeing the little vignettes of Pippin
and Frodo in happier times, but each still wtih all the qualities that they
will carry as adults. And the sense of displacement in both of them, not
knowing if or how they can reconcile who they are now with the hobbits they
once were, is finely drawn. Plus a sweet comforting ending to boot. A good
read.

Intriguing idea. Sam doesn't seem tempted by much of what the Ring has to
offer, but toward the end, I'm sure he felt it more. And I love the idea
that he might transfer some of the temptation into what happens to Frodo in
the end. The Ring doesn't leave anything untouched, does it?

Lobelia rants well, I'll give her that much. She's got quite a bit of spunk,

There's an interesting bit of foreshadowing in this drabble, both in Bilbo's
choice of gift and Pippin's reception of said gift. It's nice to see his
innocence, but it hurts to know where this sense of adventure will take him.

Brilliant drabbles. I liked Merry's and Pippin's best, I think, because the
images they brought to mind were so clear. I can see Merry with his back to
the wall and his sword outward, ready to fend off an attack. And I can see
Pippin huddled in the center of his bed, curled into a ball and waking every
so often to make sure it's still safe. The before and after pictures,
especially in Merry's case, are so different and they hint at such big
changes. During the day, hobbits seem to be hobbits, but at night, all bets
are off. Great concept!

What I really like about these drabbles is how hobbity they are. It's such a
simple, matter-of-fact life that Marigold leads. So much of it was for
others, and the little for herself became something for her mother. Very
touching.

I liked all the drabbles in this series, but "Air" and "Shadow" were
definitely my favorites. I love the idea of taking shadow and turning it
against their enemies, and I love the way air was used to set such an
ominous tone. It was a great way to begin, and it created a good mood for
the rest of the series.

Great imagery! It was almost poetic, and I can clearly picture the dancers
spinning around in an effort to keep all of the fireworks in view. This
painted a beautiful picture of Bilbo's birthday, and I love how the title
seems to say that the hobbits were completely captivated by the fireworks. I
know I would have been if they were anything like their descriptions.
Beautiful writing.

There was something endlessly amusing about Merry posing as all of
Thranduil's army. I also liked Pippin's title of His Majesty. Very
light-hearted, but the tone changes quickly in the second half of this
story, and things are no longer quite so amusing. The contrast between the
two is staggering, and it really helps bring home just how much things have
changed for both Merry and Pippin. I love the way that Pippin's pledge to
Denethor was tied in with his pleadings for Merry's life after they were
taken by the orcs. That was a great way to explain a future event as well as
to show how much Pippin has grown since he wandered around kitchens setting
dragons on elven armies.

I love the way this little vignettes describes Pippin's toy. It's constantly

places, it made me think of what Pippin might have been like as a child.
Great imagery all throughout. Very vivid.

This was a fun exploration of hobbit birthday customs as well as byrdings,
but as interesting as that was, I think what I liked best about this story
was Pearl's characterization. In particular, I liked the way she forced a
promise out of Merry not to hang out of any more windows. She's wise to his
tricks, but she turned it into a game of sorts so that it never became
badgering. I really like that ability of hers.

I love the feeling of nostalgia in this story, and I like the way that hints
were dropped without ever revealing too much. As readers, we knew that this
toy meant something to Bilbo, but we didn't know what until he began telling
the story and we didn't know who until he revealed that it was Merry's
mother. Very good pacing and good story-telling from Bilbo. Working a
pseudo-flashback into a section of dialogue can be tricky, but it was pulled
off here without a hitch.

I like the way Frodo dealt with Pippin's grousing about his lessons. He's a
very persuasive hobbit when he wants to be. And great foreshadowing with his
thoughts about avoiding an adventure if it involves Pippin, Merry, and Sam.
They sound as though they're already having a minor adventure outside. Bilbo
is wise indeed to avoid it.

Very sobering piece with some great contrasts to set everything apart. The
imagery on the ride north was beautiful, and it was even more beautiful by
sunset on the ride back. This, of course, was a superb contrast to the fact
that the war still goes on, despite the blossoming of another Age. The idea
that this was the first time that sons were being sent forth really hit me
hard. It's one thing to go yourself into battle for the sake of the next
generation. It's another thing to send that next generation into battle when
you'd supposedly done the fighting for them. Loved the words about remaining
worthy of their valor. Great introspection and beautiful contrasts.

fascinating and in some ways sympathetic character. This is amazingly well
done and very cleverly for you keep well with canon and hyet give a totally

A sad but interesting tale. It is very clever how you take one line of canon
and turn it into such a tale. Your characterisation of the soldier is
wonderful and cleverly done, through the piece you build up a picture of
him. I like the way that you te this story in with your other story about

the hobbit mindset. It is very clever the way you tell the events witht he
little insertions of what the narrator is doign and their thoughts. I like
the way you seem to capture the atmosphere of the Shire and the snobbery of

This is a great intimate scene between Faramir and Aragorn. It gives one
explanation for the foundation of Aragorn's and Faramir's friendship and
working relationship. Here Aragorn puts the wellfare of Minas Tirith into
Faramir's hands and Faramir reassures him that he will be loyal to the king
to the best of his ability.

I especially like that Aragorn makes sure he has eye-contact with Faramir
when he comes to the part in his answer to the oath of fealty where he says
"fealty with love". I think that is the key between Aragorn and Faramir. A
nice contrast to Denthor's reaction who showed 'pride' but not love.

A well told and interesting tale. I like the way you characterise the
original character in this and have her telling it. This makes it a very
clear and understandable viewpoint and you manage to keep the tale within
this very easily. The way you show Faramir and Boromir is also clever and
overall this is a very nice tale.

In this story Boromir gets confirmation that he is gay. But what makes this
story so much more than the typical slash story is the supporting
characters. The family of Imrahil of Dol Amroth, who only garners short
mentioning in the LOTR, comes to life. My favorite character is armsmaster
Andrahar, an original character, who fits seemlessly into the world of
Tolkien.

The bed scene is done very tastefully.

An interesting and moving tale. While I agree with your comment in the
introduction on Pippin and waiting for marriage, yo manage to set this story
up in a way that works well enough to make the reader suspend dibelief at
the senario. I liked your characterisation and the way you showed hobbit
society in the first half of he try. I think that it actually spolit the

Such a lovely story, that really gets into the heads of both Pippin and
Frodo, in good times and bad. I love seeing the little vignettes of Pippin
and Frodo in happier times, but each still wtih all the qualities that they
will carry as adults. And the sense of displacement in both of them, not
knowing if or how they can reconcile who they are now with the hobbits they
once were, is finely drawn. Plus a sweet comforting ending to boot. A good
read.

This is a sweet little ficlet about four OCs. There's no big drama or angst,
just hobbits being hobbity: loving their food, caring about their families,
and peaceably enjoying their day. A pretty picture of Shire life.

Intriguing idea. Sam doesn't seem tempted by much of what the Ring has to
offer, but toward the end, I'm sure he felt it more. And I love the idea
that he might transfer some of the temptation into what happens to Frodo in
the end. The Ring doesn't leave anything untouched, does it?

Lobelia rants well, I'll give her that much. She's got quite a bit of spunk,
and I love that hint of panic at the very end as well as Frodo's question
about the umbrella. Perfectly timed, and it added a nice bit of humor to the
drabble.

There's an interesting bit of foreshadowing in this drabble, both in Bilbo's
choice of gift and Pippin's reception of said gift. It's nice to see his
innocence, but it hurts to know where this sense of adventure will take him.

Brilliant drabbles. I liked Merry's and Pippin's best, I think, because the
images they brought to mind were so clear. I can see Merry with his back to
the wall and his sword outward, ready to fend off an attack. And I can see
Pippin huddled in the center of his bed, curled into a ball and waking every
so often to make sure it's still safe. The before and after pictures,
especially in Merry's case, are so different and they hint at such big
changes. During the day, hobbits seem to be hobbits, but at night, all bets
are off. Great concept!

What I really like about these drabbles is how hobbity they are. It's such a
simple, matter-of-fact life that Marigold leads. So much of it was for
others, and the little for herself became something for her mother. Very
touching.

I liked all the drabbles in this series, but "Air" and "Shadow" were
definitely my favorites. I love the idea of taking shadow and turning it
against their enemies, and I love the way air was used to set such an
ominous tone. It was a great way to begin, and it created a good mood for
the rest of the series.

Great imagery! It was almost poetic, and I can clearly picture the dancers
spinning around in an effort to keep all of the fireworks in view. This
painted a beautiful picture of Bilbo's birthday, and I love how the title
seems to say that the hobbits were completely captivated by the fireworks. I
know I would have been if they were anything like their descriptions.
Beautiful writing.

There was something endlessly amusing about Merry posing as all of
Thranduil's army. I also liked Pippin's title of His Majesty. Very
light-hearted, but the tone changes quickly in the second half of this
story, and things are no longer quite so amusing. The contrast between the
two is staggering, and it really helps bring home just how much things have
changed for both Merry and Pippin. I love the way that Pippin's pledge to
Denethor was tied in with his pleadings for Merry's life after they were
taken by the orcs. That was a great way to explain a future event as well as
to show how much Pippin has grown since he wandered around kitchens setting
dragons on elven armies.

This was a fun exploration of hobbit birthday customs as well as byrdings,
but as interesting as that was, I think what I liked best about this story
was Pearl's characterization. In particular, I liked the way she forced a
promise out of Merry not to hang out of any more windows. She's wise to his
tricks, but she turned it into a game of sorts so that it never became
badgering. I really like that ability of hers.

I love the feeling of nostalgia in this story, and I like the way that hints
were dropped without ever revealing too much. As readers, we knew that this
toy meant something to Bilbo, but we didn't know what until he began telling
the story and we didn't know who until he revealed that it was Merry's
mother. Very good pacing and good story-telling from Bilbo. Working a
pseudo-flashback into a section of dialogue can be tricky, but it was pulled
off here without a hitch.

I like the way Frodo dealt with Pippin's grousing about his lessons. He's a
very persuasive hobbit when he wants to be. And great foreshadowing with his
thoughts about avoiding an adventure if it involves Pippin, Merry, and Sam.
They sound as though they're already having a minor adventure outside. Bilbo
is wise indeed to avoid it.

Very sobering piece with some great contrasts to set everything apart. The
imagery on the ride north was beautiful, and it was even more beautiful by
sunset on the ride back. This, of course, was a superb contrast to the fact
that the war still goes on, despite the blossoming of another Age. The idea
that this was the first time that sons were being sent forth really hit me
hard. It's one thing to go yourself into battle for the sake of the next
generation. It's another thing to send that next generation into battle when
you'd supposedly done the fighting for them. Loved the words about remaining
worthy of their valor. Great introspection and beautiful contrasts.

An intersting and clever tale. I like the way you form this story , it is
very clever. Your characterisations are good. I like the discussion of the
printing press, it seems to be a very logical thing for them to be able to
make. It is intersting how you have Elphir seeing all the problems with it
and Amrothos seeing all the potential. A good thing Aragorn is there to
mediate betweent hem.

An interesting tale. I really like the way you show the interaction between
these two characters. It is very clever and fits very well with the ways
each are portrayed in canon. I like the way you have Elrond drawing out the
paralels between his situation and Faramir's.

A lovely view of the interactions between Faramir and Aragorn. The way you
show thier characters is very clever. I like theway Faramir gets lost in
trying to find the record so much that he doesn't even notice Aragorn
arrive. A cleverly told tale.

and turn it into such a tale. Your characterisation of the soldier is

the hobbit mindset. It is very clever the way you tell the events witht he

This is a great intimate scene between Faramir and Aragorn. It gives one
explanation for the foundation of Aragorn's and Faramir's friendship and
working relationship. Here Aragorn puts the wellfare of Minas Tirith into
Faramir's hands and Faramir reassures him that he will be loyal to the king
to the best of his ability.

I especially like that Aragorn makes sure he has eye-contact with Faramir
when he comes to the part in his answer to the oath of fealty where he says
"fealty with love". I think that is the key between Aragorn and Faramir. A
nice contrast to Denthor's reaction who showed 'pride' but not love.

In this story Boromir gets confirmation that he is gay. But what makes this
story so much more than the typical slash story is the supporting
characters. The family of Imrahil of Dol Amroth, who only garners short
mentioning in the LOTR, comes to life. My favorite character is armsmaster
Andrahar, an original character, who fits seemlessly into the world of
Tolkien.

The bed scene is done very tastefully.

An interesting and cleverly writtien view of Faramir and Eomer. It is nice
to ssee interactions between these two characters that seem plausable and
not overdone. The way you show them seems realistic and bringsout a lot of
the traits of each of their characters.

Such a lovely story, that really gets into the heads of both Pippin and
Frodo, in good times and bad. I love seeing the little vignettes of Pippin
and Frodo in happier times, but each still wtih all the qualities that they
will carry as adults. And the sense of displacement in both of them, not
knowing if or how they can reconcile who they are now with the hobbits they
once were, is finely drawn. Plus a sweet comforting ending to boot. A good
read.

This is a sweet little ficlet about four OCs. There's no big drama or angst,
just hobbits being hobbity: loving their food, caring about their families,
and peaceably enjoying their day. A pretty picture of Shire life.

Intriguing idea. Sam doesn't seem tempted by much of what the Ring has to
offer, but toward the end, I'm sure he felt it more. And I love the idea
that he might transfer some of the temptation into what happens to Frodo in
the end. The Ring doesn't leave anything untouched, does it?

Lobelia rants well, I'll give her that much. She's got quite a bit of spunk,
and I love that hint of panic at the very end as well as Frodo's question
about the umbrella. Perfectly timed, and it added a nice bit of humor to the
drabble.

There's an interesting bit of foreshadowing in this drabble, both in Bilbo's
choice of gift and Pippin's reception of said gift. It's nice to see his
innocence, but it hurts to know where this sense of adventure will take him.

Brilliant drabbles. I liked Merry's and Pippin's best, I think, because the
images they brought to mind were so clear. I can see Merry with his back to
the wall and his sword outward, ready to fend off an attack. And I can see
Pippin huddled in the center of his bed, curled into a ball and waking every
so often to make sure it's still safe. The before and after pictures,
especially in Merry's case, are so different and they hint at such big
changes. During the day, hobbits seem to be hobbits, but at night, all bets
are off. Great concept!

What I really like about these drabbles is how hobbity they are. It's such a
simple, matter-of-fact life that Marigold leads. So much of it was for

touching.

I liked all the drabbles in this series, but "Air" and "Shadow" were
definitely my favorites. I love the idea of taking shadow and turning it
against their enemies, and I love the way air was used to set such an
ominous tone. It was a great way to begin, and it created a good mood for
the rest of the series.

Great imagery! It was almost poetic, and I can clearly picture the dancers
spinning around in an effort to keep all of the fireworks in view. This
painted a beautiful picture of Bilbo's birthday, and I love how the title
seems to say that the hobbits were completely captivated by the fireworks. I
know I would have been if they were anything like their descriptions.
Beautiful writing.

There was something endlessly amusing about Merry posing as all of
Thranduil's army. I also liked Pippin's title of His Majesty. Very
light-hearted, but the tone changes quickly in the second half of this
story, and things are no longer quite so amusing. The contrast between the
two is staggering, and it really helps bring home just how much things have
changed for both Merry and Pippin. I love the way that Pippin's pledge to
Denethor was tied in with his pleadings for Merry's life after they were
taken by the orcs. That was a great way to explain a future event as well as
to show how much Pippin has grown since he wandered around kitchens setting
dragons on elven armies.

I love the way this little vignettes describes Pippin's toy. It's constantly

places, it made me think of what Pippin might have been like as a child.

This was a fun exploration of hobbit birthday customs as well as byrdings,
but as interesting as that was, I think what I liked best about this story
was Pearl's characterization. In particular, I liked the way she forced a
promise out of Merry not to hang out of any more windows. She's wise to his
tricks, but she turned it into a game of sorts so that it never became
badgering. I really like that ability of hers.

I love the feeling of nostalgia in this story, and I like the way that hints
were dropped without ever revealing too much. As readers, we knew that this
toy meant something to Bilbo, but we didn't know what until he began telling
the story and we didn't know who until he revealed that it was Merry's
mother. Very good pacing and good story-telling from Bilbo. Working a
pseudo-flashback into a section of dialogue can be tricky, but it was pulled
off here without a hitch.

I like the way Frodo dealt with Pippin's grousing about his lessons. He's a
very persuasive hobbit when he wants to be. And great foreshadowing with his
thoughts about avoiding an adventure if it involves Pippin, Merry, and Sam.
They sound as though they're already having a minor adventure outside. Bilbo
is wise indeed to avoid it.

Very sobering piece with some great contrasts to set everything apart. The
imagery on the ride north was beautiful, and it was even more beautiful by
sunset on the ride back. This, of course, was a superb contrast to the fact
that the war still goes on, despite the blossoming of another Age. The idea
that this was the first time that sons were being sent forth really hit me
hard. It's one thing to go yourself into battle for the sake of the next
generation. It's another thing to send that next generation into battle when
you'd supposedly done the fighting for them. Loved the words about remaining
worthy of their valor. Great introspection and beautiful contrasts.
