silly of course it's had a voice; we just generally don't get to hear
a solo, only in the background chorus. thank you for the premier.

but until expressed directly, the question is loyal to the person or
loyal to the persona.

Partings · ID: 113
Reviewer: nancylea · 2008-09-08 21:36:43
i believe that one of the recurring themes that tolkien fandom has
developed is the "my brother of a different mother" in this case even
closer than brother--twin. and i think it is well played in all the
many shades it offers, thanks for your hue.

Title: Too Many Rangers · Author: Larner · Races: Hobbits · ID: 116
Reviewer: nancylea · 2008-09-08 21:39:53
Spoilers!
i so get this plot. too many people choosing what tolkien meant to say
not just living the tale.

Title: Hope Remains · Author: Baggins Babe · Times: Fourth Age and
Beyond · ID: 118

shirebound · Races: Other Beings · ID: 121
Reviewer: nancylea · 2008-09-08 21:48:14
so much insight, so much knowledge, and then a sense of humor to find
the play on words; just caught the joke as i looked at the chapter
listings in order to remind myself which story this was. and i even
liked it before i caught the train.

Title: On Canon and Fanfic · Author: Marta · Genres: Non-Fiction · ID: 123
Reviewer: nancylea · 2008-09-08 22:15:06
marta it's all au because we exercise free choice instead of accepting
destiny, unless of course you choose to accept your fate and then it's
au because they were counting on your being your own person. "canon"
is only as accurate as assuming that others taste what you taste when
they peel and eat their orange. same fruit, even the same tree, and
can i be sure that what they experience is what i expereince?

as much as i don't like boromir, i enjoy when people can make me
believe he was a better person than i give him credit for, thank you
for helping him be his best.

the truth of politics makes strange bedfellows. but strange bedfellows
may make better stronger bonds.
