OMG! To echo everyone's comments so far, this has got to be the absolute best "stuck in ME" fic I have ever had the pleasure to read. I love how you kept everything so realistic - the latrines, the periods *shudders at the thought of having to explain such things to elves* but GAH! The language barrier! Often, I just conviniently bypass that one in my fics, for the sheer reason I find it too darn difficult to write. But you pulled it off with spectacular flair. *claps* Well done indeed!

*sobs* But poor Halbarad!!! Sad smiley face

Still, as he said, he would have gone and fought, even if he had known the outcome. Poor guy.

Okay, so I admit it. I was a lost cause at the end of this. Tears and tissues everywhere (still sniffling though).

In a nutshell, this story has everything that makes it brilliant. Humour, grief, happiness, surprise, suspense....I could go on forevermore.....the one thing that I LOVED was the scene at the river when Penny sees the male elves doing their washing. Forget mortified. I'd have died with embarrasment. *chuckles* Oh and in my opinion, Lindir deserved that little reminder. Ha! An elf blushing to the tips of his ears. Such a great visual!

Now. *rubs hands together gleefully* What's this I hear about a sequel?

PS: You haven't by a miniscule chance read/listened to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, have you?

Elrohir's Tale · Fri Jul 02, 2004 5:15 am

Heylo, chuck!

I found your story bloomin' brilliant. The imagery was fantastic, the characterizations were great and in-depth and especially loved the chapter "Judas Kiss" - I was literally screaming at my monitor about Alistair *apparantly* being a complete git. (Excuse my language!)

Oh, and I cried buckets in the last chapter when Elrohir left. Having Elladan meet Siobhan was a very nice touch too, but nonetheless, I think I must have used at least half a box of tissues on this story!

Personally, if I saw this story published as a novel in a shop, I probably would buy it - for me it is THAT enjoyable! I read the entire thing in one sitting, but had to download chapters twelve onwards because I was using up so much internet time! Very Happy smiley face

(Yup. Slow reader alert!)

All in all, a magnificent piece of work and look foward to reading more of your works in the future. I will eventually go and read the sequel to this, but first, I need to remove my backside from this swivel chair (which I have been sitting in for the past two and a half hours) and go and get something to eat. *chuckles*

~Forest, v'surprised said story hasn't gotten tons more reviews!
