TolkienScribe's Scribblings by TolkienScribe
Fimbrethel · 18 October 2025 · Chapter 15: Eowyn
As much as this is interesting, isn't Éowyn in Rohan the day after midsummer according to Tolkien? However, I do see why you wrote the scenario. I guess I will just have to adjust to when Arwen (and Glorfindel and Elrond) first come to Edoras on the way to Gondor.
Fimbrethel · 18 October 2025 · Chapter 13: Amrothos
Why has nobody reviewed this? It is rather humorous, especially Faramir tapping his beard bringing to mind film Aragorn doing the same to tell Éowyn. And Amrothos being vain, of course.
Fimbrethel · 18 October 2025 · Chapter 8: Theodred
Good reason for why he stayed. And if you remember he did actually send for Elfhelm or Éomer, and even Elfhelm might have sent for Éomer too... But did Éomer ever actually come...well, with Théoden going from Helm's Deep to Isengard I guess, but before that there had been a second battle, and Gandalf had ordered a eorot to be built. But was that a mound? Was Théodred there? The most important question is A) What exactly did Théodred mean?, and B) Where was he buried? If we consider that only the kings were buried on the road to Edoras, and that the sons of Folcwine who were killed in Gondor had a mound there, then Théodred's mound could potentially be at the Fords, but then, the movie has him on the road to Edoras, which though is probably wrong, is memorable and well known... At least Théodred and Boromir made the last right choice and now they can meet each other in peace...and comment on the rest of the action while eating popcorn if they wish, Lol. Though they probably won't. I could see them teasing certain actions though...
Fimbrethil · 11 June 2025 · Chapter 12: Faramir 1
Wow...interesting to see this version, when other versions I have read include such as he saved the cloak in a chest in his room, or Imrahil took it back, or servants stored it somewhere, unknown to Denethor.
Fimbrethil · 11 June 2025 · Chapter 10: Bilbo
Heehee
shirebound · 1 January 2018 · Chapter 19: Elrond
There's so much tragedy in Elrond's life. I hope that he, too, finds healing in the West.
shirebound · 18 June 2017 · Chapter 15: Eowyn
What a creative idea for a story! I never thought about the Elves' reaction to meeting Eowyn.
Author's reply
Thank you, it is something I often imagined and in different ways. I intend to try all of them. :)
shirebound · 18 June 2017 · Chapter 11: Arwen
She treasured each day, made memories by the hour. That's lovely.
Author's reply
We all seem to do the same with our loved ones.
shirebound · 18 June 2017 · Chapter 10: Bilbo
the audacity to sing about the shortcomings of the Elven King of Greenwood in his presence I do love audacious hobbits!
Author's reply
Hahaha, one of the things that definitely drew me to Hobbits.
shirebound · 18 June 2017 · Chapter 9: Aragorn
It's a treat to imagine Frodo giving wisdom to the King, and Aragorn listening so respectfully.
Author's reply
This was a difficult one to write. I did not want Frodo to sound too patronizing, or Aragorn too prideful. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Little Jewel · 13 February 2017 · Chapter 1: Faramir
Dear Scribe, I hope you see this review in your emails. I just want to make sure you are alright. You have been through some tough times lately and I know how hard it can be to try and overcome the obstacles that insist on blocking you from your dreams. I hope I am not bothering you with the emails I have sent you. If I am annoying you, please just let me know and I will stop. I understand that you may want to be left alone and I respect that decision. But for me, as your friend, I find I cannot do that without making sure you are well and that you are still holding out with all the love and kindness and patience I know you possess. You are strong, always remember that. And very special to a lot of people. May happiness always find you, may the sun always shine on you and may your days always be filled with love, joy, laughter, kindness and goodness. A dear friend.

Oh my, I didn't even know when you posted this. But thank you so much.This is so touching and thoughtful. You have been a good friend. Here's to many more years for us! Happy New Year! Scribey.
Larner · 15 June 2016 · Chapter 7: Glorfindel
Oh, but I can well imagine such a scene! Heh! Love the boots that were temporarily trimmed with fur!
Author's reply
Hehe. Cats tend to squeeze into the oddest places. Liquids, the lot of them!
Larner · 15 June 2016 · Chapter 6: Thranduil
A terrible necessity, but the mercy stroke was at least desired. And I pray they do meet again one day.
Author's reply
One of the most heartbreaking realities of war. Some people you can never fix. And some are too dangerous for themselves and others to be left alone. And some decisions are the worst...
KathyG · 1 June 2016 · Chapter 7: Glorfindel
Aww, how sweet! I want to hold one of those kittens. =)
Author's reply
I am a cat person, so yes, same here. :3
Aranadhel · 1 June 2016 · Chapter 7: Glorfindel
Very cute!
Author's reply
Thanks!
Conquistadora · 28 February 2016 · Chapter 5: Imrahil I
People in the Tolkien universe do have a bad habit of coming and going secretly and suddenly, don't they? Probably had it coming to him. ;)
Author's reply
Haha, indeed they do! :D
Conquistadora · 28 February 2016 · Chapter 3: Imrahil
Imrahil! A lovely glimpse of a great character too many of us forget about.
Author's reply
Odd, isn't it? I see that sometimes my favourite characters are easily overlooked here in fanfiction world.
Larner · 22 February 2016 · Chapter 5: Imrahil I
Now, what a greeting to an old friend! Punch now, ask questions later?
Author's reply
Definitely. :D
Larner · 22 February 2016 · Chapter 4: Cirdan
Interesting thoughts here as to the alternatives before Cirdan at this point.
shirebound · 22 February 2016 · Chapter 5: Imrahil I
It makes sense that Imrahil would remember and honor him. Very nice.
Author's reply
Thank you!
shirebound · 22 February 2016 · Chapter 4: Cirdan
This is a nice little gap filler.
Ellie · 18 February 2016 · Chapter 3: Imrahil
Imrahil's fears were erased somewhat, but obviously not enough. Poor Finduilas!
Author's reply
Poor Finduilas indeed! I always wished Tolkien to add more about her to his writings! I wonder who she was, how she lived in a pre-War Gondor.
Larner · 4 October 2015 · Chapter 3: Imrahil
I do believe he loved his wife and did as well as he could to give her joy. But hers was not the temperament to live long in this city of stone.
Author's reply
Precisely. Finduilas was dismayed to live so near to the dark land. Thank you for your review!
Larner · 4 October 2015 · Chapter 2: Frodo
Oh, indeed what all the labor was for! It is too bad he will not be there to see her first hand as she grows and becomes more beautiful by the year!
daw the minstrel · 4 October 2015 · Chapter 3: Imrahil
Nice moment. I like moments when characters show their complexity.
Author's reply
Thank you!
