Ghettoelleth has this unique approach to writing her drabbles, in just merely hundred words she manages to pack so much detail and storytelling, but still keeps it to an utter pleasant read for the reader. Whether it is a sensual portrayal of a canon pairing to Valar debating about something crucial [(although not nominated, but oi your Maeglin drabbles are so good)], G writes it in such a manner that it completely makes sense to you as a reader. The dry words of the professor are turned into a special work with so much joy and love for writing & Tolkien. Even more, all of her drabbles I read, carry this evocative, and thought provoking power. I lost track of the many moments where I finished reading a drabble and thought: well how about that! Most often followed with... how do you do that in 100 words! Her writing technique of drabbles in this respect excellent, with flow and grace in wording, which gives us well fleshed out characters in these specific works. But as for writing drama, I know G can lift out those often overlooked details and give them a spin, a different angle, making you even sympathise with the antagonist in the story. This is simply the mark of a great writer. Needless to say G, I am going to miss the way you give 'your' Valar a voice. You have a new journey ahead of you, so yes I will miss you.
