Lovely fanfic. By sheer number of reviews, you're a great author, but i don't consider reviews as the way to measure success or writing skill. Even so, you ARE a marvelous author. Kudos to you.

how do you do it? it's like you and the people i shall refer to them as people are as one it's like they are writing the words not you or you are the pen for them to use

bravo !

Impressive imagery- one could almost make this Sandburg-esque free verse.

aw, that's really sweet. you really know how to write touching stuff.

That was simply beautiful. I loved every word of it.

*claps*

A good idea. Don't hear 'Turn back hands of time' by R. Kelly while reading this...

In a word: beautiful. Because I can't write four-word review: This is wonderful. It practically made me cry. Bravo!

That's so beautiful and touching! I love that!

wow... it seems like you put a lot of thought into this! it's great!

I don't know how I could have missed this one, TH... Though some folks have said that the alert bots aren't working as they ouught to be! Ai!

Well never mind, while waiting for updates on other stuff (hint, hint, grin!) I thought I'd take a peek and see if I missed anything. Glorfindel reminiscing... how cool is that! Yes, I daresay he DOES know precisely what Olorin faced when he handled that Balrog... (shudder)

Well, just beautiful. You have a grand way with an expression, and I just love this. Thank you!

Oh my, however did I miss this one? What a lovely lament, ending with a glimmer of hope from one who has seen hope rise and fall over millenia. Wonderful.

beautiful. In england right now there's a beautiful end-of-summer sunset in twilight!

(Hiccups and dies promptly after reading the first line of the story.)

"How many sunsets have I beheld over the years of my life; the skies painted in gold, violet, rose, and pearl by the finger of Iluvatar?"? Good gosh, that's brilliant right there! That's amazing! I've written forty-four Lord of the Rings fanfics and I've never spewed out anything that good! How do you do it?

All right, all right... (Deep breaths, Talking Hawk, deep breaths...) Lemme read the rest of the story here...

(Mouth hangs open.) ...Dang.

Well, seriously though...dang! That other reviewer was right - you can see everything. The sunsets, and ripples in the water, the stars... I admit, I know next to nothing of Glorfindel, but this really makes you draw close to his character. You portrayed him very well. (Will he be MY friend, I wonder? Okay, just kidding. _) But, my gosh...there were too many favorite lines of mine to be able to name them all. Well, here's one - "Where you wandered out of time and life I know not." That's just...wow.

Okay, I'm on my knees here. Will you please write more G-rated stories? Pretty please? Pretty please with sugar on top? Maybe another non-slash one-shot about Glorfindel thinking about Gandalf's relationship with the halflings? PLEASE?

All right, I probably sound annoying now...but, dang it, you have talent. I would love to read more stories by you, but non-slash G-rated stories are my preference...sorry.

That was deep! Very deep! It actually reminds of some of the little character sketches that I've written. Well only a very tinsy bit.

Toodles!

That was very well written; I think that you captured Lord Glorindel's mind perfectly, and I personally find him very intricate. Good job!
