Reviews for My First Ficcy

    Hi,

    You asked for reviews, so here goes. I think it's well written. It's also an interesting topic -- I can't remember any other fics about Strider revisiting the rangers. There's certainly a lot to be explored and invtented to flesh out the largely undocumented time that Strider was out in the world before going to Bree. Doing it through a reunion is fresh and interesting.

    That said, I have two observations. I) you might want to give a Het warning in your summary. 2) I, personnally have a problem with husbands cheating on their wives. And Aragorn cheating on Arwen...well, I'm uncomfortable going there. He and she represent virtue and duty and this seems against type. Aragorn didn't even struggle with his conscience. This makes him -- and I'm very cynical as my own marriage ended with a cheating husband -- a just another man, thinking with the wrong head. And we all want him to be, have seen him be, above the norm.

    Perhaps if you had more there to develop an AU Aragorn, where is marriage to Arwen was strictly poitical, or didin't happen at all...

    Please don't let my remarks discourage you. I think you have talent. Just remember to not go against type or to first establish a new persona for a familiar character. Even though it's all fantasy, the readers of Tolkien and the movie audience suspend their knowledge of the real world and accept the existence of Middle-earth, on that is inhabited by its own unique beings and ruled by its own rules. As a writer within this genre, you must accept the rules of the known Middle-earth or establish a new set.

    Now I've beaten this dead horse enough. I look forward to reading your future stuff. Thanks for sharing and if I have offended you, please accept my appology. It was not my intention.
