Hey, chapter 10. I still say she is in such trouble when the dust finally settles. What is the time frame on this story? Just curious. Another great chapter, though. Just keep 'em coming.

Ha! I thought the one about Glorfindel was funny. This was too good. Gee, I wonder if SOA knows that the Elves can crack a smile. According to them, no. But this certainly did crack a smile on me. I loved it. Please, do not write any more. I do not think I can stand it. Well, maybe one more. Or two. Or many. I wish I could give you a whole bottle of Buttershots. But then, ask Scribe what happens when you try to drink a whole one.

That was too priceless! The meter, the rhyme, the idea. All perfect. Although I have to think the maidens would want to be waylaid. I will never play this song in church again. It will throw the rest of the band off when I start laughing. Or singing the wrong words. Great job.

This deserves doubles.

You posted this on ff.net? It is so much more deserving than that. I do not care for Hobbit stories, as a rule. They are always so tame. This one was featured, so I decided to try it. I am so not sorry. This story is worthy of expansion, and I will look for more of it. The level of writing is far beyond most of the fanfiction that is available. It is not just someone writing down something they have an intrest in, it really shows a passion for the subject. One of the best I have ever read, by a long shot. And honestly, I am quite particular. You have earned accolades with this.

The subject was good, but the meter was off kilter. There were some excellent lines, however, they were offset by the meter. I really believe that if you work on the flow and maybe some of your rhyming choices, this would be more readable. I know that sometimes just standing back and re-reading a piece, especially aloud, you can see where the weak spots are and then work on them. It works for me. This piece has great potential. It just needs some more effort.

Ooooooo. You do have a light side. This makes up for the other story. I really like this one. I did not buy the movie Galadriel as stiff. (Although the EE showed a lighter side of her). I am very happy I decided to read this. Enough said.

You do like those dark moments. I am not as familiar with pre-third age history, but you have peaked my curiosity. Now, where did I put my Simarillion? And Undying Tales? And did someone not warn me to get a copy of Morgoth's Ring? And to think, I will end up getting butter all over everything, from the popcorn. Nicely done. A toast, and I am off to read something else.

Packed quite a walump in such a small package.

Great chapter. I have a feeling that she will wish she was still in the warg's mouth when Thranduil is finished with her. You felt the need to add just a little more tension between them???? I will just sit back and wait for the fireworks.

I read this story at the recomendation of Havetoist. I do not know what I expected, but it was certainly not what I read. I do not like the position (pun inteneded) that you put Galadriel in, however, the characterization was outstanding. Celeborn is one of my favorite characters and I do not like to think of him as being made a fool of, but I could honestly see Galadriel in a new light. I still do not like the smut part, but that she would willfully go about her own deisres does fit with the Noldor arrogance. All in all, it is a good story. I am glad now that I read it. I must be off to check out more. And get some popcorn.
