Reviews for Walking Wounded
MistressOfImladris chapter 4 . 3/13
Nooo! This is so good! I really hope you'll come back and finish it some time.
Lasen chapter 1 . 6/17/2008
I see that it's been over four years since there's been an update on this, but I can't help but ask: any chance of a continuation? I had nearly despaired of ever finding another decent fanfic here on when I happened upon this one via a random search and my trust in the goodness of mankind was renewed.

I have long enjoyed your fics and, though I have no idea how I have missed this one all this time, I will sit here and hope that someday you will come back and finish it ;)
Viresse chapter 4 . 6/2/2007
It was well written - sorry for the late review as I just find it via a general keyword search for "Elladan". This is good and I love how desparate Elladan is to carry on, even he's injured.

I know you've stopped this story for a while but I really want to read more of this story. Are you planning to carry on and finish this story? I wonder wat will happen next, how Elladan is moving on through the search when he's now wounded (though, I think he'll certianly hide all his pain until he can rescue his mother - but is he doing himself any good?).

There are a few stories about Celebrian's capture and her sons ride out to save their mother but most of them are not finished. Well, I like what you've written are "fresh" ideas and I certainly like the twins characters. Really hope you'll continue this story and I'll wait to see your next update.
Miruial chapter 4 . 7/31/2006
Wow, this is great! I absolutely LOVE the twins, and you're a great writer. I can't wait to find out what happens. I mean, I know th egeneral story, they rescue her, but Elrond can't heal her wounds, etc., but I would love to read your take on the events. the only real criticism I have is that it seems that Elrohir doesn't really contribute much. He seems kinda... I dunno, clueless. The way Elladan had to explain everything to him, and make all the plans, etc. I mean, I understand that they're different, and they have different strengths, and that Elladan is the leader of the two, but I think you should also show Elrohirs definite strengths. I mean, apparently Elladan has the better gift for strategy; what is Elrohir better at?
Alasse chapter 4 . 12/27/2004
Argh! I can see from the updating thingamajigger up there at the top of the page it's been a while since you updated this...I wish that you would update again! Elladan and Elrohir are two of my favorite characters, and no one does much fanfiction with them. Less people do it well.

You've really managed to capture a brotherly feeling that's not quite too immature and yet still feels loving.

Poor Elladan. Please update...please?
anonymouslump chapter 4 . 1/23/2004
You write quite well, very clearly and mercifully error-free. The dynamic between the twins is established well. This story is good so far, please continue.
Firnsarnien chapter 4 . 1/22/2004
Valar! They have to pull off a rescue with Elladan injured as he is! Man, you are one tough cookie! LOL But I gotta say, I just love the Elf angst! Very vivid descriptions in this chappy! I can't wait for the next one! Do hurry please! :)
Firnsarnien chapter 3 . 1/5/2004
Oh, that was a dreadful place to stop! Whydya have to stop there, huh? That was too mean! :P So now you've gotta hurry up with the next chappy! I can't wait to find out what the twins get into next! Ha!
Dragon Confused chapter 2 . 12/22/2003
An update! Still really liking this, and especially liked Elrond's reaction to his sons' wanting to go out after their mother.
Firnsarnien chapter 2 . 12/20/2003
Oh poor Arwen! If I'd been her, I would have changed and gone with Elladan and Elrohir! It must really be the pitts to get left behind all the time! :P
I love how you've shown how worried Elrond is. We rarely get to see him so frazzled. Even the two El's are showing the strain of worry. Can't wait to see what you do next! Hurry! ;)
Acharnae chapter 1 . 12/19/2003
Very very promising - underused plot and no Mary Sueish OFC in sihgt.
I like the way you start the chapter with a suprise, that seemingly serious situation turning out as the eternal banter of the twins. Like Elrond too, and the cliff-hanger.
Writing style is great too, and the absence of spellos and mangeled grammar contrasts pleasantly with a good part of the FFN writing. (A matter of course? You wish.)
Single little weakness maybe:
The twins appear very youthful, too youthfull maybe for elves of some thousand years of age. (Though I guess that will change soon enough, and it is pretty much everyones guess if there is such a thing as "too old for childish games" among elves.)
Dragon Confused chapter 1 . 12/18/2003
Oh, really liked this! It was excellent! Looking forward to seeing where you take it!
Nevdoiel chapter 1 . 12/14/2003
Brilliant! Its always nice to find stories in which the author actually knows about the history of the elves. Good writing, it flows well and is entertaining. Keep up the good work!
Jussacgirl chapter 1 . 12/14/2003
Hello! Not a bad story indeed. I would ease up on the archaic language though... and tighten the dialogue. The twins say far more than they need to and after a while it can sound pompous. E.G.
"I understand that completely" may be turned into "I understand"- or better yet, a nod of the head can convey the same idea through an action, which is best.
"I see that as the only way I will set you free and allow you to continue whatever worthless activity you were doing" is far too long and wordy. Can you shorten it?
"I was unable to hear you". You've got old-fashioned brothers trying to convey a very modern play-tussle and tease... is there a way you can do this better? It sounds clunky and a bit soul-less from where I'm sitting. I'd probably change the dialogue here completely for something fun but more Middle-earthy and less wordy.
Kudos for trying with the language though, I cringe when I read fics set in Middle Earth with characters using words like "yeesh" "okay" "dammit" etc :o
Good luck :)
My Alibi chapter 1 . 12/14/2003
Wow. I'm impressed. You portray the twins well. The twist at the end was very well said, and well placed. Do continue.
