| Hello, I just wanted to tell you that your stories about Aragorn are some of my favorites that I've come across. Your characterization highlights everything about him that I love so much! It always lights up my day a bit when I see there's something new from you. :) I wanted to send you a private message about my next question, since it doesn't directly relate to any of your stories here, but I don't think I can on this site? Anyway, I was wondering if you've ever written any stories for Samurai Jack? It just struck me the other day that those two warrior-rulers in exile actually have a lot in common, and I definitely think you'd do Jack great justice. Just curious... Author Reply: Hi! Thanks for reviewing! I'm so glad you're enjoying my Aragorn characterizations. To answer your question, nope, I've never written for Samurai Jack. I remember seeing a few episodes when they first came out and being very excited about the show, but then the network started playing fooseball with the time slot and I could never find the later episodes. And, this was largely before the magic of the internet (or at least before I knew how to harness its power!). If you know of a site where I can find the SJ episodes, I'd be interested in taking a look, but fic-wise, I'm focusing on Tolkien at the moment (and Tolkien requires a lot of focus . . . ;). If you want to send me a PM, I'm on FFN under the same handle (MP brennan) and at LiveJournal as "brennanspeaks." At either the Pit or my journal, you'll find my other fandom interests (primarily Battlestar Galactica, though I haven't been active in that fandom in several years). My style tends to vary a lot depending on the fandom I'm writing in. Thanks again for your support! -Brennan | |

| To die would be easier for him than to kill--the child has promise to him, I find. I doubt that he will come back, and Aragorn has planted the seed of doubt regarding the truthfulness of his masters in the boy's heart, a seed that may well save many of the Rhunim in the end. I like the idea that the child has been taught in rhymes--and, as is true of most "successful" lies there is that kernel of truth to which the lie is tied--the seven levels that are seen matched by the seven hidden levels of dungeons that don't really exist. And that Aragorn doesn't find the Rangers of Gondor as skillful as those he led in Eriador is fun! Author Reply: Thanks for another great review! Perceptive, as always. I'm glad you enjoyed this fic. -Brennan | |
