Henneth Annûn Story Archive

Fantastic to find a new fic by you, Aiwendiel! And such an intriguing start.

Oh oh. Got a nasty feeling about this- it's all so wrong. Gandalf taking them happily to Isengard, but Saruman seemingly realising the error of his way in the previous chapter, and now no Gimli or Boromir? Or Merry and Pippin? You'd better not leave out Legolas or there WILL be trouble!!

Ooh I wondered if anyone was going to discover this tiny little sprout of an idea. and you are right to have that uh oh sort of feeling, though I am not sure just where it's all going or just how bad it's going to get... And in the meantime, another idea has... well... Bitten me in the backside... Another new tale in the making is to be posted later tonight, check the site tomorrow! 

Nice sense of foreboding- everyhting has changed, and I wonder where you will take this.

Oh- and that is certainly different- and intriguing. What a difference a few weeks make- so that there is no Council, no Boromir or Gimli or Legolas...and that must chage everything.

WEll... I don't think either one is 'right' because htey both work, but the second is a really bleak and depressing end- but the tragedy works with the meeting of eyes and bearing witness. And hte first works although the amount of action that is in it means you cant give it the depth or emotional intensity that the second has. Both are a treat to read and that exploration of what if...is fascinating.
