Slouching Toward Gondolin  by fileg 1 Review(s)
NerdanelReviewed Chapter: 1 on 7/9/2004
This is one of my favourite stories of fan fiction. You bring the feelings of the orc to life so concisely and clearly. This is an amazing vignette, truly. My favourite lines are:

"I ride in the crucible of my conception. My deeds are my birth, my breath. I am not a soldier, I am a weapon, razor-sharp and fearless! What sword was ever born in a finer flame? If those close minded elves can’t see the beauty of sparks flying outward from the forge – can’t see them as the stars our maker set for us… well, those who refuse to see fall into their own folly."

Beautifully done!
