| Imrahoil | Reviewed Chapter: 1 on 7/8/2004 |
| This is a beauty, even someone as poetry impaired as I am can appreciate it, sweet, sad, succinct. Author Reply: I'm really glad you like this Imrahoil. And you aren't poetry-impaired, you just need to read more of it. But I'm glad you see the piece for what I meant it to be. Thanks so much for reading. Lindorien | |

| You already know that I love that. I found it sweet, but at the same time heartbreaking as well, especially at the thought of happy moments that are gone for good. Author Reply: How did I miss responding to this? My deepest apologies, seriously. Death is final. There is no getting around it. Lindorien | |

| A bit odd, but I liked it. Really one of a kind! Author Reply: I have to stop gushing all my replies, but you've no idea how happy I am people like this. Seriously unexpected. So...thanks! Lindorien | |

| Sniff, you made a tear come to my eye (soft old fool that I am) You are writing on go juice girl - it is good. You really wouldn't want an agent in NZ though, really, only four million people live here! But you are good and getting better so nil desperandum, you would be surprised who I get to meet (shocks the hell out of me I tell you) I'll keep you in mind - ha! Rose Author Reply: I'll take the NZ agent. Keep me in mind. Is Go Juice like coffee? Perhaps margaritas? When one doesn't work, I try the other. I'm so glad you like this. People like this. Seriously, I am flabbergasted. Yikes! Just noticed I'm also late for an appointment! hugs, Lindorien | |
| Bodkin | Reviewed Chapter: 1 on 6/14/2004 |
| Very effective. Such an apparently simple concept. And very, very effective. Author Reply: Thanks, Bodkin. This grew out of a very small exchange regarding flashback scenes. I decided to try and do a flashback, but keep it in realtime and let the reader draw his/her own conclusions. I'm so glad you liked it. Will stop gushing now, Lindorien | |
| Kitt of Lindon | Reviewed Chapter: 1 on 6/14/2004 |
| This is an unique way of remembering Boromir. Simple yet clever. Author Reply: I'm so glad you liked this, Kitt! That's exactly what I was looking for! Yay! Okay, I'll knock off the exclamation points. I seriously expected this one to go down in flames. Thanks so much, Lindorien | |
| Ariel | Reviewed Chapter: 1 on 6/14/2004 |
| Now why would you think that wouldn't pass? It's lovely and subtly different from your other works. Very simple and compelling. Author Reply: A bit of experimental fanfic, Ariel. I didn't know if it would fly. You'd laugh so hard if you knew exactly WHEN I wrote it. Maybe was inspired by a bunch of kids! | |
| Raksha The Demon | Reviewed Chapter: 1 on 6/14/2004 |
| This is absolutely lovely. I generally don't much care for LOTR poetry; but this is such a nifty, evocative way of juxtaposing Faramir's memories and love for his brother with the lively pace of a nursery rhyme, I had to enjoy it when I saw it at Henneth-Annun. The only fault I see is that I think the word "remembers" as in "sweet remembers" might sound better as "remembrance". Author Reply: In one of the fifty versions of that final verse which spilled forth from my fingers during the short mad rush of inspiration in which I wrote that fic, I did use 'remembrance'. But I needed the rhymes because it mirrors the child's rhyme. So - remembers, splendor, your - in the same rhythm as the 'fruity' verses. I forget what words I was using to rhyme with 'remembrance'...probably couldn't find good ones, hence the change to 'remembers'. The scheme isn't perfect, but that was purposeful. My vision was of Faramir listening to the children playing in the square, remembering it from his own childhood,then writing his own version in his head,in rapid order as the children continued. In each verse of the child's version - the fruit meets a very bad end. In Faramir's poem, he makes attempt to rewrite that end to something he finds more agreeable and at the last, catches his brother before he smashes to the ground. Oh dear - never get a writer talking about her work. We never shut up! Lindorien | |
