Song of the Sea  by White Wolf 3 Review(s)

This was a wonderfully written conclusion that I really enjoyed, but, because I believe in giving advice to people in reviews (it drives some crazy) I would say use something other than "once he recovered" in the seventh paragraph.

Author Reply: Sorry for the delay in responding.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked the conclusion to this story. I don't mind constructive criticism at all. I'll go and reread what you suggested. If I agree, I'll change it.

A wonderful look at the two of them and the best way in which to deal with this malady, and the interactions between these two long-time friends.

Author Reply: It was my intention to demonstrate the depth of their friendship, in this case using the sea longing. I believe it did, as much, if not more, than any h/c story I could write. I'm glad that you liked it.

A very thoughtful, sombre take on Legolas' sea-longing. I liked the idea that Legolas could be so absorbed in the sea-longing that he couldn't even hear Aragorn speaking to him and I thought that Legolas' description of how the sea calls to him was beautiful: "It weaves its melody into the rhythm of my heartbeat."

Author Reply: I think it's hard to talk about the sea longing and not have a level of somberness in it. I wanted it to be both haunting and spellbinding for Legolas, so it would drown out all other sights, sounds and feelings. I'm glad you liked the way I described it. That's one of my favorite lines and, to me, sums it all up. :o)
