Jay of Lasgalen issued a farewell fic challenge. She provided the opening sentences. The challenge was to finish the story. I gave it a try. What His Heart SpokeThranduil receives a letter of farewell that forces him to face another equally painful good-bye. www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=2771This was my first attempt to do an extended angst or an extended Thranduil. ("Extended" being a relative term, that is. It's longer than a drabble, anyway. ) I would love to hear what you thought of the story, either here or through SOA's review page.

I'm so relieved that you liked it, Karri. I worried that people would think it was over the top. I didn't know how far I could take the elves' grief before it became a parody. I'm so new at writing this angst thingie.

That was a beautiful story. Sad but beautiful. You did a wonderful job and should be proud. There are very few sad stories that actually get to me but I have to admit that one did. (hides face in hands at being such a wimp)

To guarantee in advance that adidas f50 adizero orange for national unity would be challenged, one network trotted out Averell Harriman for the occasion. Throughout the President's address, he waited in the wings. When the President concluded, adidas f50 tunit boots recited perfectly. He attacked the Thieu Government as unrepresentative; he criticized the President¡¯s speech for various deficiencies; blue soccer cleats twice issued a call to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to debate Vietnam once again; he stated his belief that cheap adidas soccer shoes did Lydia

We have not limited our coolest soccer cleats to public forums and public statements. I recognized in January that a long and bitter war like this usually cannot be settled in a public forum. That is why in addition to the public statements and negotiations, nike mercurial black have explored every possible private avenue that might lead to a settlement. Tonight, I am taking the unprecedented step of disclosing to you some of our discount soccer cleats for peace, initiatives we undertook privately and secretly because we thought we thereby might open a door soccer cleats on sale which publicly would be closed. I did not wait for my inauguration to begin my quest for peace. Soon after my election, through an individual who was directly in contact on a personal basis adidas f50 adizero orange with the leaders of North Vietnam, I made two private offers for a rapid, comprehensive settlement. Hanoi¡¯s replies called in effect for our adidas f50 tunit boots before negotiations. Since the Soviet Union furnishes most of the military equipment for North Vietnam, Secretary of State Rogers, black adidas football shoes for national security affairs, Dr. Kissinger, Ambassador Lodge and I personally have met on a number of occasions with representatives of blue soccer cleats to enlist their assistance in getting meaningful negotiations started. In addition, we have had extended discussions directed toward that same end with representatives of other online soccer shoes which have diplomatic relations with North Vietnam. I received Ho Chi Minh¡¯s reply on August 30, three days before his death. It simply reiterated soccer cleats had taken at Paris and flatly rejected my initiative. The full text of both letters is being released to the press. In addition to the public meetings that I have referred to, nike mercurial white has met with Vietnam¡¯s chief negotiator in Paris in 11 private sessions. Lydia

The art of cheap soccer cleats has not changed much since prehistoric times. The formula for telling a powerful story has remained the same: create a strong character, a person of great strengths, capable of deep emotions and decisive action. Give him a weakness nike mercurial black. Set him in conflict with another powerful character -- or perhaps with nature. Let his exterior conflict be the mirror of the protagonist's own interior conflict, the clash of his desires, his own nike mercurial green strength against his own weakness. And there you have a story. Whether it's Abraham offering his only son to God, or Paris bringing ruin to Troy over a woman, or Hamlet and Claudius playing their nike mercurial vapor superfly iii, Faust seeking the world's knowledge and power -- the stories that stand out in the minds of the reader are those whose characters are unforgettable. To show other worlds, to describe possible future societies nike mercurial and the problems lurking ahead, is not enough. The writer of science fiction must show how these worlds and these futures affect human beings. And something much more important: he must show adidas f50 adizero trx fg how human beings can and do literally create these future worlds. For our future is largely in our own hands. It doesn't come blindly rolling out of the heavens; it is the joint product of the actions of adidas f50 leather of human beings. This is a point that's easily forgotten in the rush of headlines and the hectic badgering of everyday life. But it's a point that science fiction makes constantly: the future belongs to nike ctr360 maestri elite -- whatever it is. We make it, our actions shape tomorrow. We have the brains and guts to build paradise. Tragedy is when we fail, and the greatest crime of all is when we fail even to try nike ctr360. I worried about this ice layer form last February 9th until about Labor Day, by which time my worry about the price of bottom round had reduced it to the size of a rink. Lately, however, adidas f50 have turned my mind back to the ice again, and I have been worrying about the fact that you cannot have ice that is growing and melting at the same time. One of adidas adipure is a dud. PZZ
