Dreamflower's Dribs and Drabs  by Dreamflower 362 Review(s)
Queen GaladrielReviewed Chapter: 4 on 3/22/2006
WOW! Dreamflower, I'm speechless! I know that's something that any author would appreciate, and I think Tolkien would. And that's an excellent way to thank those who maintain this site. I'd pick a favourite part, but I'd just be quoting the whole thing back to you! :)
God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: Thank you, dear! I just felt a tribute, both to the Professor and to our beloved Stories of Arda, was due for all the wonder that they have given to me.

"The day the Ring went into the fire;
The day the whole world was saved from darkness.
In the Shire it’s just another fine day in spring."

I particularly liked these last lines; showing the hobbits' mass innocence, a somewhat ironic commentary on their reclusive, provincial, and charming nature -hobbits are more concerned, as a rule, with nature's bounties and beauties than with great deeds. And thanks to the courage and sacrifice of one of their own, the majority of hobbits can maintain their innocence.


Author Reply: Why, thank you. I believe that you just summed up everything I wanted to show in this piece, so I am very glad to know you think that I succeeded.

"We who love her pay homage to the master storyteller."

Amen!

This is a wonderful tribute, and I love the layout :)

Author Reply: Thank you!

Dribbles tend to do that--I love the effect it gives, visual as well as verbal.

LarnerReviewed Chapter: 4 on 3/20/2006
Aye, and so we do.

Author Reply: And I am so glad that we do. I hope that you've got something new up your sleeve soon! I miss having a new Larner tale on an almost daily basis.

A most beautiful and elegant tribute, Dreamflower!

Ooh this is lovely! A wonderful testament to Arda and to writing fanfiction. :)

Author Reply: Thank you very much.

Fanfiction is so much more than it seems on the surface, especially when it deals with a canon of such depth and richness as the world of JRRT.

Enjoyed both the music and the lyrics. This were lovely! Both you and Lindelea have done a wonderful job on these Carols. When's the CD coming out?

Author Reply: Thank you very much! *grin*

But I don't think we have enough material yet for a CD, LOL!

Ah, how wonderful to see original songs for Yule. Love them.

Author Reply: Thank you! I thought that hobbits needed some traditional seasonal songs!

Queen GaladrielReviewed Chapter: 3 on 12/15/2005
Oh, what beautiful carols! They both sound so hobbity, especially the second. Leave it to the Shirefolk to think of the "good beer!" :-) The first was cheerful and yet moving. And the tune for the second was wonderful too! Lindelia is amazing, isn't she? I was looking for something to do with Yule, so I'm very glad you posted these! God bless...and season's greetings,
Galadriel

Author Reply: Thank you! I wanted them to sound "hobbity" and not like imitation Christmas carols, yet at the same time, I wanted them to have that "Christmas-y" "feel" to them.

Lindelea has done a remarkable job! She truly is amazing!
