My Collection of Drabbles by Periantari
Larner · 18 November 2005 · Chapter 29: He Would Never (Sam)
Unfortunately, I can see this. Poor Sam.
Author's reply
It would be interesting to read a fic that focuses on the healing of Samwise--for he has gone through almost as much as Frodo has and needs some love and care too. ::forces the story idea to you:: ;) ;)
Larner · 18 November 2005 · Chapter 12: In Debt to His Mercy (Saruman)
Shuddering at Saruman's final thoughts, the nasty git!
Author's reply
It wasn't fun getting into Saruman's mind but yes, he indeed is a nasty git! :p :/
Larner · 18 November 2005 · Chapter 9: At the Black Gate (Gandalf)
The bluff doubted, and the delight expressed.
Larner · 18 November 2005 · Chapter 8: Here at the End of All Things (Frodo&Sam)
A gentle look at the final thoughts.
Author's reply
I'm always hopeful when i watch "The End of All Things" part... the Quest is done, and they've saved Middle-Earth... though obviously it was doubtful for them whether they would be alive... I like peaceful hobbits as much as angsty ones. :)
Larner · 18 November 2005 · Chapter 7: Mordor (Sam)
Close to the near despair Sam felt in the book.
Author's reply
Rereading it, i can definitely think that i could up the angst bit a bit more. But thanks so much for your thoughts. :)
Larner · 18 November 2005 · Chapter 6: Touched by Frost (Eowyn)
Few underestimate the worth of life than the young and idealistic who have little direct understanding of how grief and joy work together.
Author's reply
It was very interesting to write that for i've never thought in that way-- but that scene from the movies is so profound for me and Eowyn's feelings have not been explored so much so i decided to have a go at it. :) grief and joy work together that is a very interesting thought.
Larner · 18 November 2005 · Chapter 5: “No More Despair” (Eowyn&Theden)
A good motivation for Theoden to speak as he did. Theoden's love for Eowyn is one thing I felt the movie expressed better than the book did.
Author's reply
I very much agree~ that scene reduces me to tears and makes me go "awww" to no end every time i view it. "I would have you smile again, not grieve for those who's time has come." i so love this quote. =)
Larner · 18 November 2005 · Chapter 4: Feelings of Guilt (Pippin)
Yes, the reunion between the two cousins will come.
Author's reply
It was hard in the parting but i thought the movies did a good job with their reunion ~ =)
Larner · 18 November 2005 · Chapter 3: Deceptive Uncertainty (Merry)
Wonderful movie-verse moment.
Author's reply
I so very much agree~ That scene was precious to me and Howard Shore's music just made it so much more touching. :*(
Larner · 18 November 2005 · Chapter 2: Cerin Amroth (Aragorn)
A sweet dream.
Author's reply
It's always nice to dream--especially for Aragorn to think good thoughts to help & encourage him through his own Quest.
Larner · 17 November 2005 · Chapter 1: Amidst the Darkness (Frodo&Glorfindel)
A wonderful thought here, that the arrival of the Elf helped lighten the greyness a good deal.
Author's reply
I always love exploring that time in which Glorfindel comes and eases the pain that Frodo has. :) I have this bit from Sam's point of view too, but i think i can make it a bit better before posting.
Larner · 17 November 2005 · Chapter 0: Fading (Frodo)
Yes, Fading and fighting. Good imagery.
Author's reply
Thanks soo much for all these reviews, Larner! You're so very generous with them and so glad to know that someone's actually reading. :) Thank you for thinking that it's good "imagery" --that is something i strive for whenever i write. :)
Larner · 17 September 2005 · Chapter 21: Farewell to Lorien Part 1 (Frodo)
Thoughtful. Having grown up largely in Buckland and Brandy Hall I wonder if Frodo would have been allowed to remain in fear of water; but I do think he would be most respectful of it.
Author's reply
Thank you Larner~ =) i'm glad this drabble gave a glimpse to how Frodo might've thought while seeing Anduin. I appreciate your comments. :)
