 Jade Angel Phoenix 2009-02-21 . chapter 2Interesting I never thought of Legolas like that. Other elves maybe. Simply brillant writing! Definitely one of my favourites! |
 XEHX 2008-03-16 . chapter 2That was...I don't have the words. I love how you started out one way and ended on the opposite side of the spectrum. Awesome insight into a complex romantic relationship (I never imagined Legolas that way, but I've seen the light). And I NEVER liked first-person romance until Stephenie Meyers and you. Sexy oneshot. |
 Mixed-Signals 2006-11-18 . chapter 2This is fab as well. I know you're probably tired of hearing from me by now but just had to say I adore all three of these pieces. They are amazing! :) |
 Laicamiel 2005-10-20 . chapter 2Hi. I read "Divne Intervention' as well as this story last night, and I have to say, I'm in awe. Divine Intervention is wonderfully clever and well-written - and funny! - but this... is bloody brilliant. The way he needs Anna and wants to hurt her at the same time, the way the memories have affected him, his relationship with Anna - I swear I felt like someone was squeezing my heart as I read this. It had such an effect on me.
Thank you for the wonderful experience, right in the middle of my midterm week. :) |
 lucylambchops 2005-01-09 . chapter 2 Wow. I mean, wow. Fantastic. That undefinable quality good writers have that is impossible to teach or bottle - you got it. |
 Crecy 2004-07-20 . chapter 2Another well written story. Your very good at describing feelings. It gave a good inside view to legolas's personality. |
 Jenisa 2004-03-23 . chapter 1I love this story, I really dont know why it doesnt have more reviews. I love that it isnt all May sunshine and pony rides. I love this side of Legolas. :)
Great job! |
 wildecate 2003-10-26 . chapter 2 i loved this. i was on your site checking out your artwork and thought i'd skim through your stories as well. i'm so glad i did. it's good to see another side of Legolas rather than the noble, always doing the right thing, amazing fighter. you've written the internal struggle beautifully and the turmoil that is inside him. this is an amazing piece of writing and i'll recommend it to others. |
 Venus Smurf 2003-09-25 . chapter 2Once again, fantastic. I loved it, and I can't wait for more of your stuff! |
 Venus Smurf 2003-09-25 . chapter 1Wonderfully written. You truly are a wonderful writer, and I loved every minute of this! |
 Trace 2003-09-03 . chapter 2 *sniffs* Wow. You came periously close to making me absolutely loathe Legolas, and somehow made me love him again at the end. How do you *do* that?! |
 HardlyFatal 2003-08-10 . chapter 2This review is both for this story and the other one with Anna, Revenge of the Mary Sue...
You are awesome. I love, love, love your characterization of Legolas, absolutely adore it. Simply breathtakingly well-done. So realistic and 3-dimensional.
Your description of elves being catlike has totally rocked my world... or at least my perception of elves, and hugely affected my own fanfic.
Thank you so much for some exemplary writing?
Here's a suggestion... my own particular fetish is Haldir, any hopes for you writing a piece about him? I would be eternally joyful.
Thanks again! |
 Forced Simile 2003-02-27 . chapter 2This is really good! I'm not really a lemon fic person, only if it's tasteful. But I read the first story about Anna and I had to read this one. I like all of Legolas's angst and deep thoughts and feelings. Is this going to be the story were he meets Anna's mother? That'll be something to laugh about. You are an excellent writer! I can't wait for the rest of the story! |
 taoist elf 2003-01-27 . chapter 2Hi there...
You are an awesome writer I will just say that right out! Clever, funny, complex, dark, sweet. And sexy.. I will be brave and say that too. That was very sexy.
Very intriguing portrayal of Legs, though I can't actually see it as his particular psych. (but I haven't read the previous story yet) perhaps Elladan or Elrohir.. I really like the hints of your portrayals of the Elves too... not concerned by killing, cold etc... Very interesting. There is only one other fic I know of who has a similar vibe to their (Elrohir and Elladan) and I find it intriguing and very seductive in a dark way.
I think you got the woman down though, grrl. Her psych was very consistent and realistic.
I really liked the second chapter a lot, but I am a romantic ;-)
I like the psychological (can't use that word enough in reviewing this story) metaphors of this tale. For me it anthropomophizes the "victim" of people's escapism. Which in turn speaks to the havoc we do to our own psyches by the process addictive/blind/desperate escapism. The objectification/abuse of parts of our negelcted selves that we frantically inflict in order to acheive the superficial and materialistic high. (Do you get what I am trying to say here... maybe I am just insane, like Legs) An interesting ode to healing that.
I thought the overall allegory of the story was good and worked (ie: the angry objectified/abused part of ourselves being healed by trust, letting go, unconditional love etc) And as I said... I really like the ending - this fic might be a bit unbearable for soft hearts like me without it. But if you take it on a "realistic" level (ie: if Legs were really suffering such derangement) I don't think it would resolve itself that quickly or exactly in that way. He was portraying many psychological (that word again) traits of abusers and such a complex and deep syndrome just doesn't resolve itself that easily. He would be frantic to get her back, but having her threaten to leave wouldn't change anything really... except for a week or something. I guess what I am trying to say(not very successfully) is that it works as a short story/allegory, but as far as consistent and realistic psychology, it doesn't quite evolve right(for me of course).
But all in all an enjoyable, and very different read. You are very talented and I look forward to reading more of your work. |
 Lady of Light 2002-11-06 . chapter 2Oh, this is beautiful Well thought out and excellently written with a few absolutely priceless lines. I love how multi-dimensional you make Legolas, and Anna *doesn't* have red hair. I love it. Absolutely perfect! |
