| ROTFLMAO! Diancecht of the DeDanaans as an APPRENTICE? The gaelic god of healing reduced to such ignomy! I'm still snickering imagining his expression. Diancecht also replaced the severed arm of Nuada-Righ with one of silver, perfectly articulated and responsive, thus earning Nuada the name Nuada Silver-Hand, and creating the first artificial limb known to Man. *wink* Please, no Lugh Lamfada - the original Gary-Stu! *wink* *grin* You want frustrating Chronicles, try the Russian Primary or the Novgorod. Oyvey! Though the Novgorod Chronicle apparantly details the flight of a dragon over the city one day! This story is excellent. I find that the develpment of Eowyn in your story leads inexorably to the person we meet in The Two Towers, and that is the sign of thorough character-analysis, which I respect greatly. The detail is excellent, and unlike most fanfic authors, you display a firm grasp of both descriptive prose and dialog. I'm attentively awaiting the next chapter! Cheers, Chibi-Kaz Author Reply: The only chronicle I've got much experience with is a German one dealing with that describes various rebellions and inheritances and such like. At one point it stops for five years, and when the writing starts again an entirely different dynasty is in power! Yet the chronicler doesn't seem to see the change as even worthy of comment. There's also an English one I was told about where there is a gap of twenty years - and in the intervening time Old English apparently changed to Middle English; not that anyone noticed. Lugh Lamhfháda - now you're just giving me ideas! However, tempting though it is, I promise not to include him. I have some evidence that the Anglo-Saxons had heard of Diancecht (I didn't realise how irreverent I was being!), which I don't think I could really argue that for Lugh. (Though Éomer would make a great Cuchulainn!) | |
