| Wow. I was just wanting an Imrahil story, too. Alas that Faramir sees what he does so young. Yet Imrahil is right, it will never happen again. Boromir's dagger and swords are, unfortunately, amusing. :) | |

| Another lovely and tender story. I really enjoyed your compassionate portrait of this 'family,' and while I was saddened and a little (appropriately) troubled at those fragile boys it was equally easy to see the men they would grow into. Good job. Author Reply: Thank you, Nancy! I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Avon | |

| This is a wonderful "wallow", one that I'm sure I'll reread often. (having already reread it twice!) Imrahil is very well written; I've always thought of him as being the man Faramir could have become if he'd grown up in a happy and supportive family - not that there is much wrong with adult Faramir, but he is clearly not as cheerful and self-assured as his uncle. The only thing I didn't quite get was Faramir's "Never again?" line; I don't quite understand what he was referencing.... Author Reply: Hi Raksha, Thanks for the feedback. I'm really pleased tnat you liked it. I don't really know what to say when people say such nice things... Imrahil is very well written; I've always thought of him as being the man Faramir could have become if he'd grown up in a happy and supportive family Now there's an inspiring thought. You're so right now I think of it. The only thing I didn't quite get was Faramir's "Never again?" line; I don't quite understand what he was referencing.... You're not the only one - that one is due for some rewriting. I know what I mean but that's not much use if I'm puzzling my audience. ;-) He meant that never again would Numenor happen - that dark as the future might look it didn't hold 'inescapable darkness'. Cheers, Avon | |

| How DO you churn out these wonderful stories so quickly! Great characterization and a lovely story. The ending is a bit off. I feel kinda like I been left hanging. My suggestion would be to leave off the last two sentances and change: “Never again,” I whispered. “I swear.” ...to something like: “Never again,” I whispered, hoping my words would prove true. ::Shrugs:: Just my 2 cents... :) FYI, I finally emailed you on 'Remembering Boromir,' sorry it took so long... Author Reply: How DO you churn out these wonderful stories so quickly! Right at the moment I'm darned if I know - stories just seem to be leaping at me! I'm usually nowhere near this prolific. Thanks for the suggestion about the ending - as soon as I get some time I think I'm going to try it a couple of ways - one with an expanded vision and one with no vision and see what happens. BTW - thank you VERY much for the wonderful beta you sent me on 'Remembering Boromir'. I will e-mail you proper thanks - it's just that stories keep attacking me ;-) Avon | |
