The White Horse and the White Banner  by Chigger 3 Review(s)

I loved it, Chigger. I didn't get a chance to read it over Christmas break and when I finally got a chance you had completed it so I read it in one fail swoop. You never sounded corny. It was very sweet and tender. I hope I can find someone like Ceorl and live Hilirian's story. The only bad thing is its over. Keep up the marvelous writing.

Thanks, Lisbeth. I'm glad you were able to finish. (By the way, I think that's "fell swoop".)

I'm with you 100%. I want Ceorl, or Eradan, or Belecthor. Any of them will suit me fine. If you're wondering, Eradan's the star of All Is Fair in Love and War, if you haven't started that one yet. It's almost finished. As a matter of fact, it is finished, I just haven't posted it all yet. ;)

My "marvelous writing," as you put it, will continue for some time, thanks in part to Grey Wonderer who keeps raising plot-bunnies and giving them to *ME* to take care of. :) I have four more stories in the works. (My burners are all taken up, front and back. I don't know which ones to work on! O_O)

Thanks again!

I have enjoyed every miniute that I have spent reading your stories. You have introduced a Hobbit person to the world of men quite nicely. I also would be lost without your reviews of my stories. I always look forward to what you will have to say. Keep writing, I have you on my list of alerts so that I don't miss anything new.

Author Reply: Hopefully, my next story will begin its posting process sometime in the near future. I have most of the beginning chapters written and the rest more-or-less planned out, but I still need to proof-read them. :)

I, too, enjoy your stories and love reaviewing them. I used to be all Elves, because I was around Coriel, but then I began branching out and found the Men a lot more interesting (as far as writting about them goes), and then I started reading your stories, and now I'm interested in pre-quest Hobbits. So basically, I have no preference anymore, but I don't think I'll be able to write about anyone other than Men. :)

Thanks again for all your reviews. :D

Nice. Very nice. Interesting, convincing people, romance deftly carried off. Only one suggestion: Aldor's monologue in Ch 6 would probably go better if you used simpler language.

Author Reply: I would love to use simpler language, but I don't think that's really how they spoke. You know, you can't stick in contractions or very much slang, which is hard, and you have to use the words of the day. So even some words that I found in the thesaurus wouldn't work because they weren't used in the right time-periods. My older brother thinks both Coriel and I are idiots and too devoted to detail, but that's just how Coriel is, and living with her for fourteen years has made me that way too. :)
