Sundry Scrolls III  by Raksha The Demon 108 Review(s)
Linda HoylandReviewed Chapter: 4 on 3/21/2009
I just loved this.You capture Faramir's feelings perfectly before this very special day and I can imagine him having these very thoughts about Aragorn.

Author Reply: Thanx for the review, Linda. Faramir had to have conflicting feelings, including some powerful emotions on this eve of change. I wondered if he would have wanted to be reveling on the Pelennor, but think he'd almost rather be appreciating the last night of the Stewards' rule, knowing what was and anticipating what was to come and his role in it.

Neat! So Aragorn wasn't the first? I'd never thought of that, but it seems highly likely. I love the bit about the grubby bouquets.

Poor Arwen, she was obviously lulled into a false sense of security where heirs of Elendil were concerned.

Author Reply: It's only natural that these teenaged Heirs of Elendil would fall head-over-heels with the fairest Elf-maid since Luthien, or at least make eyes at her.

Tolkien said that elanor and niphredil bloomed in Lorien; but I'm not sure that he ever said they didn't bloom elsewhere. I could just see that gawky young Heir of Isildur grabbing up a handful of the precious Elf-posies to present to Arwen...

Thanx for reviewing, Nesta!

Very, very funny. I think I shall have to organise a branch of the League of Temperance to do a bit of canvassing around Gondor.

Author Reply: LOL (envisioning a determined gaggle of long-skirted Temperance ladies chasing after the nimble Rangers)! Thanx for the review!

Raksha, you're wicked -I laughed till I was hoarse!

How can we tremble before the Fearsome Nine if you go about writing that sort of thing?

As for the Positive Motivation course... and Tom's poetry ... oh dear, oh dear...

Author Reply: I'm pleased that you enjoyed the story, Nesta. At least I assume he gave the Mighty Nine a good insurance benefits package - eternal life, so they wouldn't need much medical care; and presumably an endless supply of black cloaks.

Thanx for reading and reviewing!

It is always dreadful when asked to come to the boss's office and it is also most wise to hold one's tongue when one doesn't always wish to. Been there, done that. Now we find out that fire is not the only thing Nazgul fear! Too bad they couldn't broadcast Tom's voice from Weathertop or Minas Tirith.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Hopefully your boss isn't as bad as the Lord of Mordor! Since they couldn't be killed by fire, I would think the Nazgul would fear ol' Red-Eye a bit more. I certainly would!

Broadcasting Tom's voice from Minas Tirith? It might have made a big difference on the Pelennor, LOL.

Thanx for reading and reviewing, Antane.

Heh! That was a nice twist. You fooled me for a while.

Author Reply: I was trying to fool the reader; I'm glad the piece had the desired effect, to heighten the surprise. Argonui was the son of Arathorn; and I imagine that most of the young Heirs of Isildur were brave, tall, intelligent boys, but still not quite boyfriend-material for the Evenstar. Thanks for the review!

Awww! That was so sweet! I can't even remember having read a story with a grown Elboron in it, ever.

Author Reply: It can't have been always easy for Elboron to have a father who was not only Prince of Ithilien and Steward of Gondor, but also a beloved Captain of the Ithilien Rangers. I'm pleased that you liked the piece, Soledad; thanks for reviewing it.

You are truly evil! Poor Nazgul, what a cruel punishment!
Although I have to admit that when I read Seventh of Nine I immediately saw Jeri Ryan and her form-fittng catsuit before my inner eye and started howling like a madwoman. The spontaneous association was just too much to bear. *g*

Author Reply: Well, the reference to a certain former Borg might have just been the teensiest bit intentional...Seven was certainly much prettier than Third!

Thanx for reviewing, Soledad.

Linda HoylandReviewed Chapter: 3 on 12/13/2008
I can well imagine that many of the heirs of Isildur fell for Arwen.Little does she know that one will win her heart!Delightful!

Author Reply: Arwen has herself definitely convinced that she's so above all these cute mortal boys. She's in for a surprise when she meets Aragorn son of Arathorn!

Thanks for the reveiw, Linda!

I'm glad Faramir recalls his own youth!He is a good Prince and a good father.

Author Reply: Aw, you know that Faramir would be a good dad; and an outstanding Prince. Thanx for the review, Linda.
