4. What is/are the characters or situations you wish I'd try writing some time that I've never attempted?

I have stayed past my online time and need to sign off, but if I don't get back to this, give me a nudge, will you?

All right: nudge, nudge.

Awe phewy! I don't think I'd be able to do the questionaire. I haven't read all your fics so far :( *needs to get her rear in gear and read more of Dreamflower's fics*

[dreamflower]

Well, just answer from the ones you *have* read, LOL! How's your Merry/Estella fic going?

OK. I'm not a lj user, but I've read everything of yours on Stories of Arda. (viresse)

1. A New Reckoning, I think.
2. LOTR
3. A toss-up between Merry and Frodo
4. I would like to see your writing ability on a story of the early days of hobbits.
5. I would like to see a little of the further adventures of Menelcar, ir at least a return visit by him to the Shire after the War.
6. Oh my. Does *everything* sound OK? More specificity? Um, the 'voice' for each person sounds 'right', the language as well. I can see these stories as continuations of Tolkien's story as a result. Even in the few instances where you do not follow canon, the story reads so well, it is possible to ignore the differences and, and for me, they are just an alternative, much like Tolkien's own differences in versions as he developed the story. No slash, no male pregnancy and all those other variations not appropriate to Tolkien's world as developed by him.
7. I think it was A Conspiracy of Hobbits.
8. Merry. I like how responsible you make him, so unlike PJ's buffoonish interpretation.
9. This is difficult indeed. Does Paladin count? I really like him. Or Menelcar for humans. Though Targon I liked as well. Difficult.

Thank you for the kind words, Viresse! I always enjoy your reviews. I try very hard to stay as canon as I can; I do find occasional deviations that I have made by accident, and I have one or two very tiny ones that I did on purpose. I write the stories to honor JRRT, so I don't want to include anything that would overtly offend him if he were still around to see it.
