| What a nice prologue: everything set out well so that previous events are covered and the details of the fair worked out. I particularly like the addition of the Dunlending merchants, the reasons for their coming, and potential problems/successes that have been set up. Do the Dunlendings trade at many other fairs, or is Halabor's one of the few that welcome them? I can't imagine any trade in Rohan, and don't remember if there are any other towns you've established that would be within reasonable travelling distance... Author Reply: Thanks. :) The Dunlending part was something I've been planning for quite some time - we really don't know anything about them, and if we're not identifying ourselves automatically with the Rohirrim, they probably had a good enough reason to feel cheated... or, at the very least, they might thought that they have one. The prologue was necessary, as I can't automatically expect everyone to have read "The Shoemaker's Daughter" - or what's there of it anyway. Originally, I intended to deal with the fair in Chapter 8 of TSD, but then I realized the advent calendar potential in it and made it an independent story. *g* | |

| I love the introduction of the characters. Well drawn. Author Reply: Thanks. :) I can't get away from these imaginary townsfolk. After four years or more, I'm getting more and more interested in them. | |
