abuseI have always respected your work and the depiction of those with disabilities as 'able' as the rest of us in their own ways. I have had both friends and family members [My mother is partly paralyzed, and others in the family have MS or lupus] over the years who taught me the potential all humans have to accomplish great things, regardless of physical limits.

Your stories always have great humanity and show that courage comes in many forms - the biggest is usually surviving what life tosses your way. This story is yet another spectacular jewel in a string of beautifully cut gems.


Thanks, as always.

abuseIt was a real treat to read something based on behind the scenes activities, for a change, and you managed to describe it all with such detail that the characters and settings came to life. I liked Hurin very much and I don't think that his disability would have stopped him from defending his family and country if the need had arisen, afterall, Admiral Horatio Nelson continued his naval career despite the fact that he had lost an arm and was blind in one eye (although I suppose being onboard ship is different to being in battle).
Thank you for such an enjoyable, and yet, thought provoking piece
of writing.

abuseGreat detail in the right to the throne debate and with the logistics of getting the country re-supplied after the war. Very well written and believable.

abuseMore political/cultural/heraldic/prescedence awesomeness! Loving it. You wouldn't happen to be a SCAdian herald? Anyway, great stuff, I love this level of detail.

Cheers,

abuseExcellent, excellent fic. Beautiful, and on a subject matter I find really interesting!

Hurin is often overlooked- I will admit I have overlooked him, as well- so it is fabulous that you are focusing a whole story on this minor character.

One small correction- Aragorn is not seventy-eight, but rather eighty-eight. He turned 88 the day he met Gandalf the White. But other than that, brilliant my friend! I am eager for more.

abuseI liked the way you kept the battle against evil in the background of this chapter and consentrated on the everyday doings of those left behind. What optimism to be plastering walls, putting up shelves and selecting curtains in the hope that the army will be victorious (especially when it all seemed so hopeless). You also manage to give your 'bit players' a depth of character that other writers don't bother to develop.
Great chapter - I hope there will be more!
