| I'm really enjoying this. You have a great gift for writing. The present tense is an usual choice but you write it so easily and fluidly. I'm enjoying these glimpses of Estel but I think what I like most is that I'm also learning a lot about Elrond and his sons. Well done! The only suggestion I'd make is to put 'AU' on it because you've changed undisputable canon by choosing to have Gilraen dead. Just a word of advice because there's always someone who'll complain! Looking forward to more. Author Reply: Thanks, Lisa - I have amended the description. I thought of putting "she went shopping and hasn't come back yet" but thought better of it! :) I'm glad you like the style. I can't say I really chose it - it just seemed the natural way to go. I am learning a lot about Elrond, too - I just hope his voice is convincing. His sons are fascinating - I hope I have differentiated their characters, though that has been a challenge! | |

| It strikes me that Estel is very self-possessed. He's thinking about what needs to happen and what it all means. Then he tries to do something about it. He doesn't wait for the adults around him to explain or tell him what to do. What a great kid. Author Reply: Yes, you're right. He is self-possessed, though that does slip from time to time, and it also leads him into trouble. Difficult for Elrond to manage, of course - he must not break his spirit but he must keep him safe. A difficult balancing act, I think. | |
