Adventures of an Éored: Sins of the Father  by Katzilla 40 Review(s)

This is story is great so far! I really love the crazy situations you get poor Eomer into. :) I can't wait to find out what happens next, and I hope you update soon! I'm really liking the drama in this one especially, you do a very good job of making Eomer's personality seem younger in this, without making him OOC from the rest of the time.

(I wonder if this will be story you introduce Thor in, btw... I was just glancing at one of your other stories and you never did tell us about the whole switching sides thing. I was always curious about him, lol!)

May you never be cursed with writer's block,
~Alaenor

Author Reply: Hi Alaenor,

and thanks so much for your wonderful comments! I'm glad to read that you enjoy my story and think that Éomer's in character (which is pretty much my chief concern when I write LotR-fanfics).

As for Thor, the incident which made him switch sides is explained in "Twilight of the Gods", a co-production with Timmy2222, which you can also find on this site. I hope you'll like it. :-) I had a great time inventing that character, and it makes me happy to see that readers seem to be quite fond of him.

Very best wishes,
Katzilla

Oh, dear--now a landslide? They are BOTH suffering from the same bad day now!

Author Reply: Yes, it's certainly not one of their better days... it seems like a virus. ;-)

Hi Katzilla,
it's nice to see you're writing again! And of course being no kinder to poor Éomer than before. It's only the knowledge that he has to survive to adulthood in order to face raving wargs and orcs in your other stories that keeps me from worrying at this new cliffhanger. ;-)

Alles Gute für's Neue Jahr!
Lia

Author Reply: Hi Lia,

well, why should anything have changed about the way I treat Éomer? ;-) Perhaps I should write another AU-story about the time after the Ring War to take that security that Éomer will survive whatever I throw at him, hm? It certainly sounds tempting... ;-)

Hi Katzilla! Welcome back!! God, you just come back to left me again waiting for more, they just go for one bad situation for one worst. I'm worry for Anlaf, hope that the other ones find him before the orcs kill him.
So, it was Eowyn that make him comes back, she will be the one too that will make him charge for his death in Gondor, she generates strong reactions in Eomer, no doubt.

Hope that you update faster this time and thank you...

Happy New Year!!!

Author Reply: Hi Fantasia,

and thanks so much for your warm words! I had a massive stroke of writer's block these past months even though I already knew how I wanted to continue. I was just not in a writing mood. However, I'm determined to see this through and wanted to let you know that your comments and reviews are a great help in getting the right motivation!

Happy New Year,
Katja

Good greif - a good chapter.

And yet you leave us with a cliff-hanger!

Author Reply: Well... you should know by now that I'm a mean writer, and that I love them. ;-)

Author Reply: Hi Agape,

I'm SO sorry for having disappeared from the face of this earth for so long!I hope you can forgive me. It seems my muse suddenly packed her bags and left for a long vacation, as I was not able to write a single word for all these past months. I am, however, determined to see this through, and want you to know that your wonderful comments help me greatly to come up with the necessary motivation.

Happy New Year,
Katja

I don't know how I missed this chapter - being as I love this tale so much.

I've been writing another tale for awhile in which Eomund plays a large part - I have come to love him. I loved the exchange between father and son.

And I like the idea of going to the hallowed ground for discernment. I think a good idea - though perhaps a bit of 'running away.'

Oh goodness, trouble coming from all directions in typical Katzilla way.LBJ

Author Reply: Yeah, things have to be hard for the heroes, because otherwise, everyone could do it. Right? ;-)

FantasiaReviewed Chapter: 10 on 7/17/2009
Well, you really like to complicate things!!!Eomer is not thinking clearly( I can't blame him, but I wanted to scream at him, like his father)...Arnhelm almost dying, and now Anlaf...Please, don't make things worst...Eomer and Arnhelm don't need another burden to their already bad onsciences ...Hope that you update this time faster, I always wait for your chapters...Thank you

I'm glad that you are back, I've missed your story, I was so worry for Eomer, you really left him alone for a long time....what a emotional encounter with his father, your Eomer has the ability to talk with to many ghost, I remember his "conversations" with his cousin in another of your stories, but it is a very good way to demonstrate his debates with his conscience. Yes Eomer, your Father is right, you will be a protector of the Mark, a great warrior, and you have not idea...

Hope that it is the scout and his friend the ones that found him, they need to put the past behind, well easier to say it, very hard to do it...


Thanks for updating and I hope that you will now do it more frequently, I've missed your Eomer.


Author Reply: Hi Fantasia,

sorry I was gone for so long. The break that always comes when I'm finished with a long story ("Banishment", in this case), was a few months late and allowed me to begin this story, but then virtually over night, it hit me nevertheless. And since work was quite overwhelming for the past months as well, I just didn't have it in me to sit down and write, and poor Éomer had to wait.

And nevertheless I was not concerned that I would not finish this story, as I know quite well where it is going. I just need a bit of inspiration and energy, and hope both have returned for good. :-

Yes, I confess that *my* Éomer has a very vivid imagination and a certain way of making decisions that's slightly out of the ordinary... :-)

Thank you so much for your encouraging words!

My goodness! Another absolutely taut chapter. You just pull and pull and pull until I feel I can no longer breathe.

Poor Eomer.... I still cannot forgive Arnhelm.... nor really Elfhelm....

Again, great chapter. Waiting breathlessly for the next!

One small error - The River's Edge part -
'Then the river had carried him away and whirled him around until he knew now longer...' I think it should be until he knew NO longer....

Author Reply: Hi Agape,

I must apologize to you, too, for having been away for so long. What can I say, the muses are fickle sometimes; and I didn't write for a long time this year. Yet I hope I will end this tale in time for the Mefa's,a nd I hope you'll enjoy the continuation of the story.

Greetings,
Katja
