| Raksha The Demon | Reviewed Chapter: 1 on 3/1/2005 |
| I loved Eowyn's thinking, after Eomer has expressed his inability to stand by and do nothing, that he can't do what she has to do every day. It shows how worn Eowyn is by the years of standing by while the king and realm declines and Grima's influence grows stronger. Eomer, being a typical man (self-absorbed, despite his fundamentally good heart), doesn't understand that Eowyn would find helplessness as intolerable a burden as he does. Author Reply: Seems like I keep running into you at every fanfic site I go to. :) To continue with what you said, I don't think that Eomer would really understand helplessness to the extent that she would to begin with anyway; even though he couldn't stop Theodred from dying, he still at least has the option to go out and fight what's happening. And just so you know, since I know you've read this before...this version is probably going to be a bit different than the one you've seen at ff.net.... I've been doing a lot of revising lately. I've been putting the revisions up at ff.net too, but this version is hopefully a lot cleaner and closer to Tolkien's style (since this chapter was the first fanfic thing I ever wrote, I'd like to think I got a little better since then...) | |
