Title: Inheritance · Author: Acacea · Races: Men: Steward's Sons

Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:42:43
I liked this a lot. We tend not to think of the ways in which Faramir
was like Denethor, but I liked how you used the comparison as well as
the contrast.

I really enjoyed this, both your tone and your style. Your Hobbits are
wonderfully Hobbity and well in character. I especially loved your
description of the Haradric Silk, I can well imagine it. I am glad that
Sam didn't resist the purchase and how happy it will make Rosie.

Title: With Bow and Blade · Author: Lady Aranel · Races: Elves:
Fixed-Length Ficlet Featuring Legolas or Thranduil · ID: 282
Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:44:06
as I've said before, I'm amazed at this incredible blending and merging
of two chapters, each with a different character in a similar but
different situation, the layers and their reflections on/off each other.
- and all this on top of the personal emotion you always manage to weave
through your work.
I do believe that Elves would feel or know that kind of connection, and
be able to share strength and support, especially as they both were
fighting, and I can easily believe, as in your story, that father and
son would indeed be fighting side by side although they were so many
miles away.
Above all - it was all very Elvish! ~ Very well done!

Title: Preparing The Way · Author: Lady Aranel · Genres: Drama: Elves in
Later Ages · ID: 284
Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:45:51
I can't read this without the tears rolling, the emotions in your
writing pull too much personal pain to the surface, but like Legolas,
with that pain comes the love and the depth of the relationship - better
to have had and lost than never to have had. How can it be that the
richer and more meaningful the bond, the deeper the pain, but how could
it be any different. All of us suffer this, in one way or another, when
we lose loved ones.
I've pulled this screen up a hundred times to try to express how this
story touches me, I'll simply have to trust that you know. I feel that
you do, you and I each have stood beside each other as we've both
suffered these kinds of losses and I thank you for that - not just for
being there for me, but also for allowing me to comfort you in what
small ways the distance allows.

Title: After the End · Author: Ottis413 · Genres: Alternate Universe:
Post-Grey Havens · ID: 781
Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:46:09
Ottis, I especially appreciate your writing for a couple of reasons. I
love that you write canon outside the normal boundries - it's just
almost original Middle-earthian fiction, if there were such a thing.
I like that you don't pull punches on difficult subject matters and that
your writing is not only canonical but historical as well. It's
difficult to do, but you make it seem natural.
I also enjoy your characterization, I like that your good people do
'bad', and that we have glimpses of goodness in the baddies. That's a
staple of realistic and engaging characters. It's what helps the reader
identify with the characters and makes them care what happens to them.
Very good job with this one.

Fixed-Length Ficlet · ID: 948
Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:46:29
This is beautiful and touching. I love the thought that the silver harp
he carries is a gift from Maglor. It is Tolkienesque in the way it ties
the ages together and brings threads from the first age into the third.

'Luck' indeed. I especially love this oh-so-very-much in-character view

in my mind as I read the things you write him doing.

Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:47:07
I have to admit, not something I've ever read before. One of the most
difficult bits of realism in Tolkien's world is the hard truth about
men, that they fail and I truely enjoyed this alternate view of
Denethor. Thank you for writing and sharing this.

especially like your characterization of Aragorn, human and kingly at
the same time.

Ah! and so history strives to repeat it'self? I love this wonderful

Like Mother, Like Daughter - again I'm reminded of one of the reasons I
love Tolkien's body of works as a whole, the strength and consistancy -
the completeness that runs through it all. - the differences and the
similarities of Ungoliant and Shelob, that to write about Shelob's
brooding malice and hunger reflects back on Ungoliant herself.
It's hard not to repeat myself when I've leaving reviews for you, I
start stumbling over the words of praise and get them tangled. :) - at
any rate, another one well done.

Title: Forlorn Hope · Author: Nancy Brooke · Races: Men: Steward's Sons
Fixed-Length Ficlets · ID: 301
Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:48:47
Nancy, this is heart-rending. You touch at the heart of Faramir and his
men as they ride. There could be no looking back in a ride like that.
While reading this, the movie scene of them riding out came back strong
in my mind - the strength of their resolution and dispair. Very well done.

Title: Just a Little Shove · Author: Inglor · Genres: Humor:
Fixed-Length Ficlet · ID: 798
Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:49:11
LOL! The everlasting question. Should he or shouldn't he have ... ?
Maybe Elrond hears The Music .... maybe he's just an old softie.
As humorous as this is, it also speaks with an underlying depth and
strength of truth - it reflects the difference of how Smeagol stole the
ring with murder while Bilbo's actions were of pity. Should Elrond have
killed his nephew? He could have I'm sure, I'm just as sure that he had
sound reasons not to - love of his house, his family, or some distance
foreknowledge? Imagine all the suffering that could have been avoided -
but what good also? Certainly it's possible that his daughter wouldn't
have married Aragorn, and it's through them that Luthien's blood is
still seen in the world today. It's a difficult thing to weigh - the
price of keeping evil in the world in order to have the good that's
highlighted by it's presence.

Fixed-Length Ficlet · ID: 252

Title: Midsummer's Day · Author: MysteriousWays · Times: Late Third Age:
Fixed-Length Ficlet · ID: 980

thought of Frodo in the sun and the warmth, even though I know he did
sail West, I like the thought of him having some peace at Bag End in the
meantime.

Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:50:38
oh, this was very well done. I especially love odd and unusual
perspectives and this certainly fits the bill. You gave enough question
as to 'who' and answered just in time to hook then reward the reader. I
love the thought of the boat being nudged in that way.

Title: The Painting · Author: LuthienTinuviel · Times: Multi-Age:
Incomplete · ID: 771
Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:50:56
I enjoyed this, in part because it seems especially Tolkienesque to me
with the weaving in of your modern cultural beliefs and legends as he
did with the ancient Elvish legends and other tales (as well as creating
many of his own, woven in). I feel that it's both fun and respectful in
keeping to his ideals.
I liked your original character and felt she is well-fleshed out and
believeable and I felt your foreshadowing and suspense was especially
well-done.

Title: Thirsty · Author: Elfhild · Times: First Age and Prior:
Fixed-Length Ficlet · ID: 319
Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:51:16
This is a shining example of what I like to see in a drabble, powerful,
emotional, evocative - all in such a few words. Elfhild gives us a
chilling close-up, maybe too close, view of Thuringwethil, who, IMO, is
one of Tolkien's most under-used characters. I love how this highlights
her thirst, her casual mistake in drinking too much and her cold
acceptance of the death of her lover.

Title: Homecomings · Author: Marta · Times: The Great Years: General
Fixed-Length Ficlets · ID: 225
Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:51:33
Marta, I like this series a lot. I especially enjoy the insight of the
various perspectives. I think Gloin facing Gimli and Legolas was my
favorite, with Thranduil a close second - it's hard to pick, but they
certainly work well as a set.

Ottis, I think this was the first fic of yours that I read and I liked
it so much that I've been following you around ever since ...not
*exactly* like a stalker-fan :) ... I like this a lot, very enjoyable
and I especially appreciate your description and characterization of
Elrond. He's been my first favorite for as long as I can remember, my
First Love, so to speak and it touches me to see him so very well done
in a modern setting. It gives me hope that I may find him one day. :)

Title: Revenge is a dish best served cold · Author: Lialathuveril ·
Genres: Humor · ID: 297
Reviewer: Súlriel · 2006-07-23 21:52:05
oh gosh, what to say about this one. delightful! I love the interplay
between the guys, the groomsman and the in-laws - wonderfully in
character, the royal 'gentleman' (ahem!) 'treating' each other in such
meaningful fashion.
it's a tribute to this story, that the bones of it are set well enough,
that the reader easily imagines the continuation of such games and
pranks throughout the lives of these families.
Well done.!

one of Tolkien's most under-used characters. I love how this highlights
her thirst, her casual mistake in drinking too much and her cold
acceptance of the death of her lover.

Marta, I like this series a lot. I especially enjoy the insight of the
various perspectives. I think Gloin facing Gimli and Legolas was my
favorite, with Thranduil a close second - it's hard to pick, but they
certainly work well as a set.

Ottis, I think this was the first fic of yours that I read and I liked
it so much that I've been following you around ever since ...not
*exactly* like a stalker-fan :) ... I like this a lot, very enjoyable
and I especially appreciate your description and characterization of
Elrond. He's been my first favorite for as long as I can remember, my
First Love, so to speak and it touches me to see him so very well done
in a modern setting. It gives me hope that I may find him one day. :)

oh gosh, what to say about this one. delightful! I love the interplay
between the guys, the groomsman and the in-laws - wonderfully in
character, the royal 'gentleman' (ahem!) 'treating' each other in such
meaningful fashion.
it's a tribute to this story, that the bones of it are set well enough,
that the reader easily imagines the continuation of such games and
pranks throughout the lives of these families.
Well done.!
