Seriously, this is getting old!

After an ungodly long time, I got two new reviews for "The Exercise of Vital Powers". From the same person. The first review is some quote from a third person I've never heard of before, and the quote isn't even related to my story, because where did I assume that Thorongil and Finduilas were more than friends?

In the second comment, the reviewer berates me about why I am wrong about the characters' motivations. Really, why do people read other peoples' stories at all, when all they want to find is their own ideas mirrored?

And people wonder why I've gotten totally uninterested in writing Tolkienfic...

I've been tagged

WRITER'S MEME: Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of the top five favorite fics you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

Crossroads
The prelude to my original Trek/Original Galactica series. I know it's in many ways not half as good as a lot of other things I've written since it has been finished more than 10 years ago. But it was my very first finished fanfic, and even though it bears the mark of translation, some people seem to like it.

Forgotten Song
My first ever fanfic written in English. My first Tolkienfic. The fic through which I fell in undying love with Boromir. The fic of which my private Ardaverse has grown.

Birthright 2: The Gathering
An Andromeda AU. In this, I've done perhaps the most cultural background stuff, the most research and the most world-building thing. I'm very satisfied with this one.

The Shoemaker's Daughter
The story that gave birth to Halabor and its people. Everything else came from this one.

The Equinox Logs
A side product to my mammooth Voyager AU series, featuring mostly secondary characters. Not a popular one, but I'm very fond of it.

It was frigging hard to choose only five favourites from the 90 stories posted to FF.Net alone. And I have at least half a dozen other ones elsewhere. But here you are.

I tag: altariel, eyeofacat, jilba, rcfinch and jen_rock. Bring in the goodies, friends!
