Child of Aulė  by Meldewen Ilce 4 Review(s)

I love Gimli! Bless his heart, seasick and rejected by the majority of the Elves (I thought you caught their revulsion quite well, though why they would presume to question the Lords of the West is beyond me!). Also, the Elves would do well to remember that it was Iluvatar Himself who allowed the dwarfs to exist. Technically, they may not be His creation, but He has an interest in them, too. I'm glad Legolas did not have to defend his friend any further, and all I can say about Galadriel is "way to go"! Her greeting to her loyal Lock-bearer was perfect! You did a great job, too, with Gimli's character - just the right amount of rough, gruff banter with Legolas, and his disappointment and then uninhibited joy at the sight of Galadriel was right on (for me, anyway! LOL)! Good story!

Oh this was wonderful! I love your Gimli. His voice fit his character just right. Galadriel's warm welcome was so sweet, as well. Thank you for writing this! I'm glad someone was able to use those bunnies. :) Keep up the amazing work.

*breathes out in relief that she captured Gimli's voice in a way that does him justice*

Yeah, I had to have Galadriel come to Gimli's aid after his rather rude greeting by the rest of the Elves and I hoped her greeting would be as sweet as it could be when I wrote it...

Thanks again!

Lovely. There aren't too many stories about Gimli or the Dwarves. You did a nice job capturing Gimli's "voice" and his friendship with Legolas.

I was more than a tad bit nervous about this fic but I am glad to learn that I did justice somewhat to Gimli and to his friendship with Legolas. Thanks again!

My heart was just breaking for Gimli! Thank you for making Galadriel so very gracious and welcoming. What a lovely greeting.

Author Reply: Awwww thanks, Janet!

I was a tad bit nervous when I posted this fic last night and I am so glad I seemingly did justice to Gimli's character...thanks!
