I hope you still want these, I'm trying to catch up!
Oh, absolutely! Thank you so much; I really appreciate this :)
I haven't even started draft two yet :-/ And once I get comments on draft two, from some fresh blood new people, I'll write draft three....
In other words, this story will never be fully finished! Which is, imho, one of the nice things about writing things that will never be officially published :)
Oh, Carnistir is wonderful!
He's certainly become one of my favorite characters to write, which surprised me. I think I'm going to really enjoy writing his "growing up." To a certain point, anyway :-/
Is this blurring just Celegorm's perception as he grows or an actual change in Nerdanel?
It begins with Nerdanel becoming less of a "presence" as the years progress. She becomes wearier by all of her childbirths and Feanor (and their sons) become more dominating. She finds it harder and harder to hold her own, so to speak, against them.
As a result, Celegorm doesn't see her as he once did. She becomes easier to overlook, as he bustles about to his own important tasks. Feanor and his brothers take center stage in his life, as they are beginning to do now.
I'll definitely look over this part and revise it to make it clearer. Thanks for bringing it to my attention :)
He seems to be an excellent father, for all his faults!
I've always figured that something must have made the seven of them follow him so loyally!
I think this is very much Celegorm.
You described him just as I see him, which is good, since you have a Celegorm camped out in your home as well! ;) He is one of the most psychologically complex characters, to me, and I wanted to explore this a bit.
Thanks so much for this review. I really appreciate it :) {{{{huggles}}}}
