| Short, Occasionally Sweet - Gwynnyd's Drabbles by Gwynnyd | 65 Review(s) |

| Thinking ahead. Very practical, Ioreth. You might talk the hind leg off a donkey, but your brain is in the right place. (Get Elrond to send books from Imladris.) Author Reply: Ioreth was the practical one. She, at least, knew where to find athelas even if she didn't know what it could be used for. I know that making her a midwife is more fanon than canon, but it seems like such a logical step for the 'the eldest of the women who served in that house'. Thanks! | |

| This is just wonderful! You don't get to see Sam and Arwen interact that much with each other. ^_^ Author Reply: Thank you! I'm sure Arwen was both curious about the Hobbits and interested in the contents of the storerooms at Rivendell. | |

| Oh, I loved this. A new & exciting form of entertainment in the White City (or are we in Dol Amroth?) gives us a look into what their lives might normally be like. Is this just the ruling family enjoying this, or is the populace being entertained in a great hall in the lower circles? The knowing glances between Denethor & Imrahil were priceless. I can imagine a conversation in the morning with the people from (Harad, I assume?) and the Steward - the acrobats lobbying for more performances, Denethor encouraging them to move on with heavily veiled threats & a deliciously wicked 'diplomatic' smile. Author Reply: I saw this as a big hall in Minas Tirith, maybe even Merethrond, full of people. I wanted to work in tight ropes and trapeezes but ran out of words. Glad you enjoyed it! | |

| Good advice from probably a great warrior. Author Reply: Yes, indeed! It would be so much more helpful if the enemy was stupid and did what you wanted him to do! I always thought Denethor would have given both his sons good advice. Thank you! | |

| P.S. I haven't been reading fanfic for several weeks, so I just noticed that you posted this on my birthday. Thank you for the love (if unintentional) gift! - Barbara ;-) Author Reply: Most of these drabbles were written as birthday presents over at HASA anyway. I'm glad they can sometimes do double duty! | |

| Okay, Gwynnyd, I feel like I've just opened a pirates' chest full of jewels... these are truly inspiring. Would you mind terribly much if I nominate some of them for the MEFA awards? (The most difficult part will be to select which ones move me the most...) - Barbara | |

| Absolutely the best gap-filler I have ever read concerning Arwen during the War of the Ring, a character so often dismissed (even by me) as having stayed home and sewed. Here, her task becomes revolutionary. Author Reply: Aragorn must have loved her for more than her pretty face. He had plenty of time to fall out of love with her if it was just infatuation. Thank you! | |

| These *are* short, more than occasionally sweet, and every one of them brilliant! I loved them every one! Thanks for sharing them! Author Reply: These are definitely words to make an author's heart go pit-a-pat. Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed them. | |

| Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading your drabbles, loved the one about Narsil, and Estel getting the idea to use it as a short stabbing sword. What was Tolkien thinking, letting the man run arround with a broken sword, hope he had a whole one someplace. Author Reply: I have no idea what the Professor was thinking. It sounds very heroic though, deosn't it. I'm glad you liked that one, as it was the first drabble I ever wrote. It hooked me on the form. Thank you! | |

| Realistic characterizations - a young Boromir, still brash yet; Faramir clearly in his element. Author Reply: Thank you! Getting 'realistic characterizations' even in a double drabble isn't easy. I'm glad you think I managed it. | |
