Drabbles by Lindelea
Queen Galadriel · 9 October 2006 · Chapter 6: Fireside Chats
*shivers* It's like a dream--a nightmare. Poor Frodo. God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
Definitely nightmarish and deliberately "altered consciousness" because of the overpowering influence of the Ring.
Queen Galadriel · 9 October 2006 · Chapter 5: The Silent Street
Oh wow. Poor Beregond. I never thought he might have killed his own friends. Oh dear. God bless, Galadriel
Queen Galadriel · 9 October 2006 · Chapter 4: The Moon Sees Somebody I'd Like to See
These are going to make me cry. Yes, we get so annoyed at some things our dear ones do, and then when they may never do them again, we miss them immediately. God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
Too true!
Queen Galadriel · 9 October 2006 · Chapter 3: I See the Moon and the Moon Sees Me
Aw, this is so sweet! That last paragraph is very poignant. God bless, Galadriel
Queen Galadriel · 9 October 2006 · Chapter 2: Questions
LOL! Too cute! God bless, Galadriel
Queen Galadriel · 9 October 2006 · Chapter 1: "And get my pipe out of my pack, if it isn't broken."
Oh, very poignant and a little chilling. God bless, Galadriel
Periantari · 7 October 2006 · Chapter 13: March 25 SR 1419 (Rosie Cotton)
awwww how sweet! and i love your description! =)
Author's reply
Thank you! Rosie is a delightful character. Tolkien gave her such a strong personality in such a little bit of description and dialogue!
Periantari · 7 October 2006 · Chapter 22: October the Sixth
wow how powerful! I really enjoyed this!
Author's reply
Thank you!
Grey Wonderer · 7 October 2006 · Chapter 22: October the Sixth
No one would suspect that this is your first attempt! I am very impressed. That was lovely and so very powerful.
Author's reply
Thanks! I must admit, it took me a lot of time to get up enough nerve to *try* a dribble.
Pearl Took · 7 October 2006 · Chapter 22: October the Sixth
Very good :-) as always! What's a dribble?
Author's reply
Well, I'm not completely sure I know all of the "rules", but from what I've seen, it's a literary form where the first line is ten words, the second line is nine words, the third line is eight words, the fourth line is seven words, and so forth, until you get to the last line, a single word. Thanks!
harrowcat · 7 October 2006 · Chapter 22: October the Sixth
Great stuff Lindelea.
Author's reply
Thank you! The film always disappointed me in its treatment of Weathertop. Ah, yes, spooky, but Frodo-in-the-book was stabbed as he lunged forward, not as he cowered away.
Dreamflower · 7 October 2006 · Chapter 22: October the Sixth
Gorgeous! The episode truly fits well into this format! Well done!
Author's reply
Thanks!
demeter d · 3 October 2006 · Chapter 4: The Moon Sees Somebody I'd Like to See
Long ago a patient older cousin taught a little one about loving, waiting and serving. Now, the sweet memories of happier times help them help each other through. These two made me cry!
Author's reply
(((hugs)))
demeter d · 3 October 2006 · Chapter 11: Before the Call to Muster
This has been here for a while, quietly waiting for someone new to discover it. Isn't fan-fiction fun! Gandalf told them all, before he left them to scour the Shire on their own, that they had grown enough to handle any trouble without help. I am sure it began by helping each other.
demeter d · 3 October 2006 · Chapter 12: Tales of Old Wives (three drabbles)
I just received your newest one about Gandalf on Weathertop, and i thought i would wander back up the list a bit. This is lovely. We do not know as much as i would like about the wives of the Travelers. Little pieces like this are so much fun. I can easily tell who is which. I always imagine that their wives must have been very special people, indeed!
demeter d · 3 October 2006 · Chapter 21: October the Third
Such a lovely build-up of suspense in so few words. Nicely done! Come to think of it, that encounter would make a good longer tale too! Bunny bite!
Author's reply
Bunny bite! But thankfully it's not nibbling at my ankles (yet).
Dreamflower · 3 October 2006 · Chapter 21: October the Third
What a wonderful little gapfiller! I've often wished someone would write of that encounter! Go, Gandalf!
Author's reply
Thanks! Sorry to hear about your computer problems. Hope you find a resolution! And I've written a dribble, following your example.
Pearl Took · 3 October 2006 · Chapter 21: October the Third
Very stirring!! Marvelous!
Author's reply
Thanks! I've never tried to see through Gandalf's eyes, alone, before.
Larner · 3 October 2006 · Chapter 21: October the Third
Wonderful! After all, Gandalf also faced five of the Nine there at Weathertop. Falling into the sky--reminds me of a story Baylor once wrote....
Author's reply
Really? What story? I love Baylor's writing.
harrowcat · 3 October 2006 · Chapter 21: October the Third
This is great Lindelea. Many more to come I hope!
Author's reply
Well, I managed to write a "dribble" for October 6. It's been a long time since I managed a drabble, so I'm glad this one worked itself out.
Grey Wonderer · 3 October 2006 · Chapter 21: October the Third
I so admire drabbles and this was lovely. I could see it all in my mind as I read. So few words and yet so much is said. Amazing!
Author's reply
Thanks!
Larner · 13 November 2005 · Chapter 20: Remembrance Day
Yes, a moment to haunt the memory indeed.
Author's reply
You know, I think the film changed my perception of the scene; made it more real, somehow, and more tragic, and more haunting.
Bodkin · 13 November 2005 · Chapter 20: Remembrance Day
Living with memory is tough. And anniversaries bring it all back - in full freshness and pain. But it changes - given time. The love remains, though.
Author's reply
Yes, it still hurts, but but the pain fades, somehow, though the love, as you said, remains.
Dreamflower · 12 November 2005 · Chapter 20: Remembrance Day
Alas, poor Boromir. How it would have haunted them, and how they would have mourned, remembering that valiant and defiant hopeless battle at Parth Galen.
Author's reply
I do think that it must have stayed with them for the rest of their lives. I wonder if they ever went back there, on their visits south?
harrowcat · 12 November 2005 · Chapter 20: Remembrance Day
Lovely, gentle and so sad! You manage to get some wonderful descriptive writing into a few short words.
Author's reply
Thanks. It's always interesting to see how it'll come out, with only 100 words to work with.
