erinrua. spooky timing, that.
Why this must be read:
In formal "high" style, Erin tells of the last days of King Elessar, of Legolas and Gimli saying goodbye to the last of their dearest friends, and of the sadness of watching the world change around you. The story is threaded with a heavy, but lyrical melancholy, and though slightly stiff in the occasional spot, has a very Tolkien-esque feel in language and spirit. Like the end of LotR, the Last Grey Ship manages to be both sorrowful and sweet at the end.

A friend let me know that the Crack Van recommended my fic "The Last Grey Ship," so I thought I would drop by just to extend my sincere thanks. THANKS!!! :-) I will say that Grey Ship was my first and possibly most difficult Tolkien fan fic story, during the writing of which I felt like the Professor himself was likely glaring at me from somewhere beyond the Sea. Erks. But anyroad, it was a joy to write and I remain pleased beyond expression that others find enjoyment in reading it. Thank you again!
Heh, and yes, spooky timing, I am indeed live on LJ. ;-)
Cheers ~
