| After reading several AU stories at different times, I started anew with this one to get the right connections... I very much like the way you catch Aragorn's intention to ease Pippin's worry. Though weary and in pain, he still thinks about the Hobbits. It was interesting to read that you gave the Uruk-hai the possibility to think and reflect their doings, and that some have learned lore - in fact that they are able to do more than killing or dragging Hobbits along by order of Saruman. It is a good idea to bring forward the characters of the bad guys with some details. I suppose you need that for later. BTW: Did you bring Robbi and Tobbi, too? - T. Author Reply: Yes, Aragorn! He just can't change the way he is. And in giving the Uruk-hai and Orcs some dialog that showed them as more than just evil killing-machines, I only stuck to Tolkien. They constantly quarrel, complain and each tribe/group has its own interests. Giving them a reason for acting the way they act is a vital part for me to make the story believable. I couldn't go without it. I don't buy villains that act evil just because they are apparently evil (and because the author needs an excuse for someone to torture our favourite heroes ... not that I donīt read those stories anyway :-P). Thanks for the reply, and I hope you continue to enjoy the story (next chapter is on its way), fliewatuet P.S.: Shall I guess your age? ;-) Seriously, Robby and Tobby were left in charge of household maintainance issues and failed miserably ... they are locked in the pantry *vbg* | |
