damn. very well done. i loved it! some of them were tragic, some sweet...very well done. the only problem i have with this is that i wish you didn't stop with a drabble and had instead written a novel for each xD

keep writing!

I like this. You have given the Queens of Gondor a personality each. Will you consider one for the Queens of Arnor?

I'm impressed with these vivid glimpses of characters we know almost nothing about, and in so few words. Favorites: Vidumavi, Castamir's wife and Eldacar's wife, but then, I've always been interested in that particular footnote to Third Age history. I'm glad I found this!

...Oh!

And silence, beautiful silence, follows.

This is real, real good stuff!

Wow. I love how you’ve captured the personalities of all these so very different women so effectively and with so few words, giving the reader little glimpses into what their lives must have been. Very well written, and well researched too. Keep it up!

Sorry, I didn't read the Silmarillion
I didn't know Sauron had a Vampire?
I thought my idea was an original one... oh well! I thank you for your review

Beautiful, Jen. Another amazing work. I applaud you!

Stunning. I'm not sure how to even begin to comment on these, but please know that I worship you as a god. Your work is so perfect, somehow, no matter what your subject. These drabbles are wonderful, each to some degree of superb. I don't know what else to say, so I will just bow down before your altar now.

You know, when I read the summary for this I really wasn't convinced. I read it anyway, and I'm insanely glad I did. I have never seen anyone able to get so much of a character's personality and situation in so few words. Not only that, but you have a realistic variety of situations, and perfect wording for each. I really, really am impressed. Thanks for sharing these.
