Well, Dawn, I would not worry about this chapter being so freshly written
Thank you. :) In reality, the changes I make are rarely drastic; I think the rereadings and long times between writing and posting are more to convince myself that I want to share it.
But short of stopping AMC for six months, I have to go ahead and share it, right? ;)
Maitimo seems different in this chapter, though. More mature.
The beginning of the chapter had already been written, so I was trying to go along with the same line of thought that I had at the first writing. Do you think that this difference is bad? Like he's OOC for part of this chapter? Because I do want to show his gradual acceptance that things might not go his way, that another might be chosen over him, but I don't want this to be sudden.
I maintain the idea that Finwe is a wonderful character
Me too! :) I would like to do more with him in stories, but his firstborn and his eldest grandson insist on usurping my time. ;)
And kudos for the sweet little episode with Feany and his never-matching gloves.
Thanks! I was rather fond of this myself and it is one of those things that I'm not sure how I thought of it...but I'm glad I did! ;)
*whipes tears* I don't know how you do it, but this is the kind of line that you will most likely never see in any of my fics.
Well, we have very different styles. I can't see that sort of line in one of your stories either, no offense to your stories. Nor would I want to. Overdone melodramatic epics are not embarked upon lightly! :^P
But seriously, Maitimo will be surprised, I think, at how resilient he is in later years. I'm sure you know what I mean. *weeps softly* But now, he's young and his world is able to be shattered by a woman who rejects his affections. One day, he will look back at this innocence and laugh.
I am also pleased to learn more about Vorondil, knowing that he will be an important character in the future of this epic.
I love Vorondil, even though the Feanorian boys tend not to speak nicely of him. But unknown to them, Vorondil has his own life and backstory. I've even considered writing a story about him, but that would be weird. Original fic spawned from fanfic!
It was a great chapter. More on the spot writing, please. *nudges Carnistir*
Please do nudge him! I haven't gotten much out of him so far. Maybe if we're snowed in tomorrow, he will have no choice but to talk to me.
