These are wonderful! An interesting exploration of Light - how it is seen, experienced and the role it plays. Sam's was great - I always loved that part. Poor Pippin! The only one to see how dark Light can be. I liked Gimli's also. :D

Author Reply: Thank you, dear! All of these seemed to me to fit the characters--and I wanted to show Pippin's as seeing both the "dark flame of Udun" as well as the true light of Anor, as he remembered the Shire.

I enjoyed all of them but for some reason, Gimli was my favorite this time. Thanks for posting these. A very nice look at all of the Fellowship as individuals.

Author Reply: Thank you! The two that I knew right from the start were Gimli and Gandalf. It seemed to me that Gimli would consider his encounter with the Lady to be the epitome of Light, and that the greatest thing he could compare it to was the Arkenstone.

Love it! Esp. Sam's which is my favorite part is Book IV, Aragorn's and Gandalf's and Boromir's. Love it, love it, love it! Could I have the honor of putting it on my website? http://www.knittedsouls.com

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: I'm so glad you enjoy it, and would be honored if you want to put it up there! Just let me know when you've done it, so I can go and look!

Oh, these are beautiful, Dreamflower!

I can't even name a favorite... each has its charm. But I adore the way you uniquely incorporated the theme of Light into each drabble, suitable to each character and experience.

Beautifully done!

These are very good, very appropriate. I like the Gandalf one best.

Author Reply: Thank you! I arranged them in more or less chronological order, but I wrote the Gandalf one first. It seemed just right for the prompt.

Dreamflower, if any story deserved to be written by one with that name, it is this one.

You have caught the spirit of light and Light so perfectly in this series! Thank you!

Author Reply: Thank *you* for your kind words! "Light" is so important in LotR, it has so many ways to be handled--I'm glad you liked them.

Only one more prompt left: Healed.

A wonderful exploration of the many shades of "light". The characters are true to the original, and you add depth and nuance with your brushstrokes.

Author Reply: Thank you! The theme was not an easy one, and it took me a while to decide on doing the individual drabbles. I am pleased that they came out well, thank you!
