Avoidance  by Stefania 2 Review(s)

Very much in character, although she appears to have inherited her uncle's unfortunate movie-tendency to think things that aren't going to happen as stated. Oh, if she only knew the true love she'd find! Heh!

Author Reply: Thanks, Larner. I'm glad that you found my portrayal of Eowyn true to her movieverse character. That's proof I'm doing the job I set out to do with this story.

I loved your writing of Faramir and Eowyn together, snuggling as husband and wife. And Faramir's appreciation of Eowyn's pregnancy-enlarged breasts was cute.

I'm not sure that Faramir "hated" war. He didn't love it, or enjoy it; but it's never said that he hated it. It seemed, in both book and movie, to be a job he had to do and did expertly, but didn't particularly like. But "hated" is a stronger adjective than I would apply to Faramir's attitude toward war, especially since the war he had known did protect Gondor. He would hate the waste of life on both sides, the sorrow of people who lost their men, but I don't think he'd have that strong a dislike of "war" as a concept - that's a more modern attitude.
