First - the stories I like: I'll read anything about the Hobbits, or Elves, or Men, or Dwarves, or fluff... Basically anything without graphic sex or torture. My favourite authors that I would definately recommend to other readers and/or authors are:
Ar-feiniel
Anaphase
Kitt Otter
Shadow Maiden
Karlmir Stonewain
Dunedain ranger of the North
xFanarix
Owlett
Traveller
Origo
These should receive certificates and I admire them beyond anything. Also the favourite authors button does not work on my account *grrr* so they're my favourites!
My likes outside of fanfiction and writing: I like trampolining, singing, (I don't think I'm very good though, lol,) chatting to my friends and watching new movies that come out.
Things I don't like: People who lie, cheat or spread slander and gossip. People who are racist and/or homophobic or sexist. Gossip itself angers me, and science is one of my worst subjects at school, so I guess I hate that too. I just don't understand it...
I am not a beta reader but review a lot in my POV, as I don't really have a lot of time in my hands when it's term-time at school.
Overall, I love this site and hope that people review my stories!

This is a good story. No doubt you are one of the best authors here to write from Gimli's POV, and it is very well written. There is no speech, which makes it better, and the description is nice without it being overwhelming. I'm glad that you write about Legolas' and Gimli's friendship - it is a matter that not all authors attempt. Maybe you should post it on the challenge 'Friendship' to get it more noticed, as it is quite sentimental and portrays both Legolas and Gimli very well. Good luck with your writing, and keep posting!
Summary: Yet another song about depression and feeling worthless. Continue at your own risk; this one's dark (I wasn't in a good mood, put it that way).

Oof. Why'd it go for Legolas? The descriptive writing is good, and I will read and review the next chapter. I assume 'TBC' means 'To be Continued'? Anyway, yes, this story is good.
Author's Response: No mysterious reason. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. :o) I'm glad you like my writing and think the story is good. You are right about TBC.

Lovely ending. Good idea for Aragorn's sword to be found by Legolas, and viceversa; there are no spelling mistakes - except 'ax' which is spelt: 'axe'. This story is very good.
Author's Response: Glad you like how the story ends. They are not always easy to write. I, myself, thought the sword part was kind of neat. :o) Thanks for liking the story. Actually ax is spelled both ways. Americans tend to spell it without the e and the British with. I'm American, hence ax.

The last paragraph is quite thought-provoking. However there are a lot of rhymes in this story, which makes it short and to the point. It's good to see Frodo's POV on this subject as I have not read much about his reasons for not settling down/marrying.
You should definately continue writing - I am a Hobbit fan so I'm glad to read anything about any of them, especially Merry and Pippin, although I enjoyed reading this overall. Best wishes in your present and future writing,

Hmm. This poem expresses Frodo's thoughts and feelings quite well, although it is rather long. Maybe you should write a poem from Sam's POV on the way to Mordor?
I love the way that you have handled Sam's and Frodo's relationship, almost tenderly, as they have a bond that is so strong. You have portrayed Frodo well, and the rhymes are quite good. Please read some of my stories - I'm sure you would enjoy "Joined", which is about Frodo and Sam too. Well I've enjoyed reading and reviewing, and I wish you luck with your writing!

Hmm. Very casual and light, not too deep, this discussion. However Faramir is right, he may chose who he wants to be with, whatever be their sex, age, etc. Good writing!
Author's Response: :O I am SO sorry I haven't replied! Chances of anyone revieiwing my older stuff is slim (Because it's honestly not that good, two years will really change a person) so I never check for reviews! Thanks very much for reviewing :)
Summary: There are many diehard Tolkien fans that complain that either Peter Jackson's films destroyed their cherished images of Middle Earth or didn't capture the spirit of Middle Earth. My answer? It could have been a thousand times worse.

Oh... Kay. Yes, the movies could have been a lot worse, but I do like them. Thank goodness Disney hasn't done a lotr movie. OMG, can you imagine someone twisting and turning all of the plot!

Summary: A response to Sharpe_and_Harper's "The Fellowship Meets the Fellowship." Pretty much the actors fall into Middle Earth and excitement ensues. Not a story I would normally do; I don't really like Actor Fics because I feel weird writing a story about a person who exists but I've never met. Please imagine that I do really know exactly what sort of thoughts Viggo Mortensen has!

This is such a sad story but it's so beautifully written! I like it that Pippin had bacome older in spirit and in mind, whereas Merry is eight years older than him still and it's beginning to take it's tole. You've written this superbly and it's a good story, just the right amount of emotion. Well done!
