| Funny, isn't it? Just when you think no one's paying attention, someone leaves a review. For what it's worth, I don't find these drabbles pretenious. As for the Finwions... So many of the stories are devoted to unhappy things happening to them that it's hard to think there were good times as well. Tolkien mentioned it in The Hobbit. Unpleasant events make good stories in a way that peace, comfort and good fellowship seldom do. But the happy times are as much a part of life as the bad. This drabble gives a hint into what these characters were like when they weren't fighting epic battles. It helps to round them out a little, make them more real. Haleth Author Reply: Yep, it was fun to try and show them relaxed, blessedly ignorant of what was coming next... And wine is always a good thing to relax around...it eases the atmosphere :-) Thanks again, Haleth ;-) | |

| Oh my! A who embarrassed himself the most in the past year contest! It's funny and at the same time very poignant because the reader knows, although the participants don't, that it is the last one. Author Reply: ROTFL! Believe it or not I was thinking of bringing these down yesterday (sunday) They are quite old ( first things I wrote, at the end of 2004) and quite pretentious. (Not that I'm doing far better, mind you..) Anyway, this is one of my favourites. Life is always normal just before it changes, and it was poignant, as you say, to imagine these five engaging in some family bonding right before the impending Dragollach... Thanks! ;-) | |
