Avon's Drabbles  by Avon 79 Review(s)
Marigold GamgeeReviewed Chapter: 2 on 3/20/2004
Now that's kind of scary. You've touched upon an interesting point- "Do mortals live always in this silence?" Very thought-provoking, and rather unsettling to think about.

Aww.... sad, quite sad.

I still love this drabble, but I don't like to think that the twins chose mortality, however convincing you make it. But whatever happened, they were together. Lovely work.

Author Reply: I don't want them to choose mortality either - but I don't want them to leave M-e either. I need option C ;-)

I like this, especially the end. 'My only son'... poor Denethor. Such grief could have turned his mind, but it's still no excuse to treat Faramir the way he did! I like the link between the brothers.


Jay

Author Reply: Thanks, Jay. I have a soft sopt for Denethor.

I like this one. (I will be as old as them, I swear) That line is so very Pippin. I enjoyed all of these Drabbles, but this was my favorite.

Author Reply: Thanks, Grey Wonderer. Hobbits aren't my first love but I do have a real fondness for Pippin - mybe it is because I'm the youngest of five ;-)

I'm not familiar with the tale concerning the Oath of Eorl. But I found that I didn't need to be in order to understand the importance of what is happening. This is all the remarkable because you managed to tell me all that I truly needed to know in 100 words. At the same time, I got a sense of the emotions involved as well. Good job, Avon.

You have to explain this one to me! Who what where when? (hangs head in shame)

Author Reply: Oops! *Thumps self in head* I completely forgot that if I took it out of its context it would make no sense - I'll nip off and add an author's note. Ellen Tireil asked for a drabble (over at HA) concerning the Oath of Eorl. (Unfinished Tales).

Oooh, very nice. I like thinking that each brother made the same choice as the other... and for the reason you gave.

Author Reply: Thanks, Shirebound. I *definitely* always want the twins to stay together - I don't like it when stories split them, no matter how good I recognise the arguments to be. ;-)

I do not like the idea that the twins chose to be mortal. But setting aside my personal preference for their decision, I do like your interepretation as presented here. The ending sentence where you list the reasons the twins rode to Pelannor is very nice. It works, building item by item, to convice the reader why. Good job!

Author Reply: HI and thanks yet again for your feedback. Me, I just plain don't like the twins having to choose - nasty Tolkien! In my own personal universe they don't choose to be mortal - but nor do they leave M-e, which I think is against all canon so hey.

Is this Boromir? I like the contrasting images in here.

Author Reply: Thank you for all your reviews! Yes, this is Boromir up Mt Carahdras.
