Ah, how I've loved this tale of how Pippin and Merry carefully steered
Frodo to the house at Crickhollow, devious Hobbits that they are. Nice
blend of humor and thought, as well as out and out manipulation of our

What a disappointment to find that the birthplace of Durin the Deathless
has not only been desecrated by Orcs, but its very Heart stolen and sent
to Sauron. A moment of triumph turns to grief and horror at the
knowledge that even the plinth on which it had rested has been boobytrapped.

Well written and full of exquisite imagery.

Ah, a marvelous tale in which Frodo and Sam find themselves facing the

Shirebound here gives us a marvelous tale of letting go the fear and bad

This is one story I wish to see finished, for it's taking far too long
to get caught up with it.

What if Iluvatar and the Valar were able to stop Sauron's advances only
by recruiting Elrohir's wife to go back and guide Aragorn through the
Paths of the Dead instead of him going straight to Gondor from Rohan?
But if she does so, does she so manage to destroy her own existence? For
she is the daughter of Glorfindel, born in Aman....

A fascinating story of love recognized in spite of time travel and the
paradox of a future elleth returning to the time of the Fellowship, a
move that may lead to herself not being born.

This is one of the most amazing tales I've ever read, and certainly the
best Gimli-story I know (and there are a handful of very good stories
out there). Not only does the author manage to give the readers a deep,
astonishing insight to Gimli's thoughts but also a decidedly "dwarvish"
perspective.Thevina gives "her" Gimli a wonderful voice:

[" "Vrâlsfire," Gimli repeated. "Diamond. Galadriel," he said, smoothing
over the syllables as if polishing the very gem." ]

I don't know what Tolkien had in mind when he created the dwarves, but
whatever it was, I have the distinct feeling that this particular Gimli
comes very, very close.

Beautiful and stunning. BRAVA!

I like Rhapsody's sense of drama and poetry. This drabble captures an

Rhapsody's sense of poetry is remarkable considering that she is not

e.g., ["we are not bounded by blood"] should be ["we are not bound by
blood."] You should find someone to help you with these small problems,
which interfere with the reader's immersion in your created moment. I

The OC characters (all of them) are written so well, you don't mind

I think what makes these people so "real" are the small moments. Their
fears and doubts. The moments of humor in the face of challenge, to keep

story is more like poetry in the way it is almost a chant. Each stanza
steadily begins with the same phrases and in the same rhythmn, which
really makes it the beautiful piece of artwork that it is. Should I be
surprised? Pearl is an artist. She enthralls her readers by letting us
see through Gandalf's own eyes the beauty, or treachery of the elements
he has experienced first-hand. We even get a glimpse of that steadfast
and patient heart when we watch him respond to Pippin's innocence and
youth, giving the young hobbit hope when all else seems bleak. I would
have a hard time pinning down any of my favourites of Pearls, but this

travelled as well. And as most of us see this talented young hobbit
playing just about every musical instrument under the Sun, his hands and
their well-being are extremely important. His music is a reflection of
his soul, and so, again, it is necessary for Pippin assess if his hands
are still capable of the same skills pre-Quest; that his Journey and
horrific experiences would not hinder this vital form of expression. And
it's like he never left. His hands pick up his violin--his "old
friend"--where the youth left off before he disappeared from the Shire
with his friends. And all is now well with his soul. Excellent story, Pearl!

When I first read this, my heart went out to the poor greiving serving
wench who personifies so many broken young hearts over modern day
celebrities. Boromir was no everyday celebrity, though. The very lives
of the people of Gondor rested on the broad shoulders of one man:
Boromir. His fate, however, and though more a sacrifice, was to truly to
guard the precious lives of two small warriors who valiantly tried to
fend off foes more than twice their height. I loved this beautiful poem
because it personalizes her pain, although there was probably more
hearts broken than her own. This poem serves as the backdrop of how this
lass mourned his death.

This is yet another brilliant facet of the wonderfully talented
Pipkinsweetgrass. She has a lovely way of making Boromir come to life
for me. Before I met this author, Boromir was just another character who
bit the dust, to me. No more. Pipkin has done a remarkable job with
bringing him to life, allowing me to see inside his heart and soul--and
whom better to write about his heart and soul than someone who revels in
his persona? Her love for the character Boromir is displayed in all of
her fics, and this beautiful poem is just one lovely example.

them. I really liked this. I am always fond of the little side stories
about normal every day lives that don't involve the wars and battles but
show the people of Tolkien's world in a very realistic way - the birth
of a child is a perfect example of this. A very sweet story and I liked
the little touches she added, like both mother and father counting the
fingers and toes and an Elven king worrying about a tiny baby and his
wife after losing his first wife (fading away after the birth of

I love anything about Fingolfin and I also love Minuialeth's poetic
writing so you put the two of them together and you cannot lose. The
infamous last ride of Fingolfin is a true story of bravery, madness,
sorrow, loss, tragedy and just gut wrenching angst. I think Minuialeth
captured every aspect of it and so much more. Her vivid description puts
you right there - inside his head as he is overcome with madness and
even HE knows he is mad. The visions of death and torment he has seen
playing over and over again in his mind until he is almost seduced by
death. Her writing is so fluid, even her non-poetry reads as beautifully
as one. Minuialeth has shown a side of his decision to ride out and meet
Morgoth head on that fits perfectly with his background. He was never
one to avoid a face to face confrontation and even though his action was
unbelievably stupid and ended so tragically for him, you cannot help but
think of him as such a heroic and powerful elf to stand up to Morgoth.
Very few did it. Even fewer did it and lived to tell about it.
Unfortunately Fingolfin was one that did not survive it but his death
was befitting a Noldo High King - fighting for his people and
Minuialeth's drabble showed that in a way that makes tears well up in my
eyes even now after having read it a few times before.
