| You really approximate the style of quasi-medieval correspondance quite well. I can't help but feel that this is how Faramir's letters to his king and to his uncle would read. The Warden of the Houses of Healing had quite a way with words - telling Faramir that Denethor wished himself cremated is a very creative, yet honest way of shielding Faramir from the horrible truth of Denethor's end. Author Reply: Raksha, Thanks again! That Warden - well, he didn't know the full truth, plus he didn't want to be the bearer of bad news, I guess. So I imagine he decided to let Mithrandir handle the whole thing. cheers, Maya | |

| Maya, I truly enjoyed this story of yours. I've always been a fan of Faramir since watching the movies (and am now in the process of reading the books). Faramir's pain and anguish at Denethor's death come through very vividly in your writing. I was touched by how he pleaded with Aragorn for justice as well as mercy in the case of Beregond. And that hobbit quote about friends having no debts, only gifts freely exchanged...how much we humans could learn from that. Well done! Author Reply: Thank you. I'm a Faramir fan too - since age 12, when I first read the books. You certainly have a treat ahead, reading them! I agree with you - hobbits are remarkable creatures, aren't they. Glad you enjoyed the story. cheers, Maya | |
