When I Was Young  by Calenlass 3 Review(s)

I found the change in switching from Arwen to the journal confusing at first but I think I got straightened out at the end. This is QUITE a diary. I lvoe the ending and how Aragorn and Arwen are together. :D

Author Reply: I apologize if it seemed confusing; I didn't the best I could, and I'm glad you figured it out.

Gotta love Aragorn and Arwen. *grin*

Thanks for reading!

Hello Calenlass,

that was beautifully done: the transition from precocious child to a young elleth whose innocence was forever tainted by her mother's departure unfolded very well with each letter.

And then she found her Hope.

But the part that made me smile the most was one of her earlier entries: 'Lindir can’t know that I think he thinks up ridiculous romance songs. The only thing that makes them good is Glorfindel’s voice'.

Very funny!

Good work!

Author Reply: Hello M!

Glad you thought it was so.

As for that line--considering how Lindir seemed...a bit mischievous in the little bit we read in FOTR, I took that liberty of writing that. Mayhap he was responsible for the "Here Down the Valley" song in the Hobbit? *grin*

Thank you!

the only diary-type fanfic I've ever read before were the "Secret Diaries of so-and so." But they were slash and can't compare with this.

nice!

Author Reply: People don't write many of them, do they? I was rather unsure of writing these, because I'm horrible when it comes to 1st person POV. But then I found journals were an easy way to write emotions, and decided to give it a try.

Many thanks for reading! :)
