O Pearl... somehow I missed this one. I was idly going back through Marigold's "Best Bets" and found it, and followed the link, and was bowled over.

You are an incredible storyteller, taking us right inside the character's head. Great job!

Wow. Excelant! Keep writing! So sad, but you defiantly captured Pippin! Amazing!

Wow. This is amazing - a masterful exploration of what Pippin must have experienced in his run through the city. That last line really got me - very effective.

I read this a while back, but guess never reviewed it. This story just blew my mind! Tolkien never went into detail about a lot of thing (or else the trilogy would be two thousand pages ;), but this really shined a light on what the destruction in Minas Tirth and it was especially detail because it was through Pippin's perspective. The dead eyes was a creepy part to get through. It's hard for me to conceive that this is a war just like anyother...it made me feel like I was reading about WWII or something else. Wonderful piece of work...

Oh this is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. It brought through the trueness of how much Pippin grew that dreadful day. I loved the last line.

man this is really good. I never really thought about what Pippin and Merry went through. A little at any rate but I'm glad I read this it was really good and I felt bad for Pippin cause I would have been freaking out to have to climb over a pile of dead bodies, I'd be scared shitless to have all that fighting going on around me, let alone to have to fight!

I am quite speechless. Excuse me while I pick up the pieces of my heart and find a box of kleenex.

This was truly beautiful, in that awful, horribly sad way. What I mean is that your writing is beautiful, and that the story is horribly traumatic, which is a very odd combination to read. I especially liked the part about the eyes and the feet. I can empathize with the eyes, but only shudder in horror about what it must have been like to walk barefoot through something like that.

Your story was exceptionally powerful. A pleasure and a heart breaker to read.

Author Reply: Thank you. Such a compliment, to be beautiful and horrible at the same time. I'm flattered, truly. I you're interested, I'll explain why more articulately. Email me at radicalmomssr@yahoo.com.

This was an excellent fic! I really enjoyed reading it, although it was sad. :P Not many people can pull of writing in 1st person. Great job!
