Yes. What she said. Twisted Evil smiley face

All righty. I'll trade you one i-am-tha-balrog-slayer scene for the promised handcuffs scene. Am really looking forward to that. So much that I won't whine too much at G being taken prisoner. And just know this: you have to be a durn good writer to have me crushing on a made-up character who didn't even make the movie. Smile smiley face

Hopefully you'll get to scribble a bit in between episodes of molesting, er, meeting loinclothed cabana boys in NZ (though isn't it chilly there this time of year? Oh well, loinclothed snowbunnies, then). Have fun!

> I hope u dont think that i think that ur story was any less touching because of the different role. It was great and i fust wanted to point that out to non fanatics who dont think tolkien gives fighting roles to his women.

Good point! Despite some articles I've seen on the subject, I have no idea where this myth of Tolkien writing wimpy girls comes from. Those folks obviously haven't looked closely at Eowyn... or Galadriel for that matter (Nerwen indeed).

Do you think I ought to rewrite and include BLT details? Have you spotted any other canon problems that I ought to know about (other than the oops of Earendil being smaller than the average elf toddler)? Feel free to PM me with suggestions. And thanks again... I really do appreciate all the time you've taken to read and review and comment. Smile smiley face

Night In Hollin · Fri Mar 26, 2004 9:52 pm

This is what fanfic is all about. It fills in the empty spots, gives us a peek into the characters and cultures, and entertains as well. Not to mention, it's a swell piece of writing. Kudos all around. This was a fantastic piece.

Yes. You are not the first person to point that out. Wink smiley face

I decided to follow the Silm account only, but that probably wasn't clear in my AN (hopefully have fixed that now). Thanks for reading, for taking the time to review, and for pointing out a potential oops. I really appreciate it!

All Shall Love Me and Despair · Wed Mar 24, 2004 9:03 pm

Oh, lovely. Not enough is written about these two. They are so complicated and intriguing. Why, for instance, did Celeborn marry an elf who he knew longed for other shores? Did he think that he could give her what she wanted in Middle-earth, so that she would not pine for her home? Did he think he failed, when at last she left? Your story indicates that he wasn't disappointed, that his love for her was greater than the space that would separate them. That's a pretty big concept to swallow, but you've put a chocolate coating on it, to make it go down better. What a fantastic piece.

Well, now. That was some Grade A smut. Smile smiley face

Talk about brotherly love. Delish. Thanks for writing this and for letting me peek.

Unrequited: Gilraen · Fri Mar 19, 2004 11:16 am

This story is so believable, it just folds right in with the characters and story we already know. Gilraen did seem a smidge bitter in the Appendix, and this story would explain that. I love the Elrond you've drawn, and the Gilraen. They are both depicted as excruciatingly noble and honest, bound to their separate promises and fate. Really remarkable ficlet.

First Love · Mon Mar 15, 2004 3:18 pm

How lovely! I especially liked the twist, and the meeting with an elfling Teleporno (yes, the name makes me snicker). Now, of course, you must explain what happened, and why Galadriel and Erestor didn't end up together after all. That story could be epic. Smile smiley face

The only "huh?" moment I had was when Teleporno gave her the name. Isn't "Galadriel" Sindarin? And in the Unfinished Tales bit where Teleporno is a Telerin, my guess is that he'd speak Quenya, or somethingn close. Sindarin, I believe, was spoken only in Middle-earth. Or am I way off here? I could be, so please don't take my word for it. And even if I'm right, that doesn't change the fact that this is an adorable scene. Thanks for letting me peek.

Enlightenment · Mon Mar 15, 2004 2:59 pm

I love the idea of this piece, and the resolution you've given it. The notion that a complete purge of desire is the thing that would save his soul is profound. I enjoyed this story a lot, and can see that the work you put into it was significant. However, there are quite a few grammar and spelling errors. Some occur at crucial points in the dialog, and things that are meant to be deep and meaningful draw an out-of-place chuckle. I think with a little basic language polish, this story would be incredibly moving.
