| Hi IceAngel! I'm about to watch the finals of the European Championships so I'm afraid I don't have time to read further at the moment, but I just wanted to let you know I really like the premise of this tale. I don't think there's much wrong with the writing here - it's a little stilted, maybe, but sometimes you just need a period of writing yourself into the story. A warm-up, of sorts. That's what I find, anyway! In any case, you draw the characters nicely and sow seeds for development later in the story. You've got me intrigued :) Out of curiosity, how old were you when you started this? Best, Narya Author Reply: Glad you enjoyed the start of the story - thanks for letting me know :) I started it when I was 17, rewrote chapter 1 a few years later. The rest was drafted and needed some editing so I've come back to it many years later. It's been fun to finish it off, but I'm struggling with the urge to go back and rewrite chapter 2 onwards :p | |

| Your Gimli's voice is really good. I loved Faramir's bruised fingers. Legolas is interesting. Can't wait to see more. I miss Boromir but am looking forward to reading this. BTW - I'm not skipping through but I probably won't comment on every chapter. I do so hope this will be posted to completion. Author Reply: Thanks for the lovely review ^_^ Glad you enjoyed the first chapter and that you're skipping through (as the first 10 or so chapters were written many many years ago and don't want too much scrutiny ;)) If you can push your way through the first half of the story you'll get some Boromirishness later on :) and yup - it will be completed :) Thanks again! | |
