The Conversation · Fri Jun 18, 2004 6:14 am

That was way too much. I know exactly how that conversation goes. My kids are the same way. One child tries to top our stories, one just ewwwws alot and the younger ones just get embarrassed.
The story is priceless. I have to agree about Thranduil. Life in Mirkwood seems much more difficult than the other Elven realms, so it would stand to reason that he would be tougher, but not the ogre (or should that be orc) that most portray him as. Although I am not sure I agree with the pre-marital hanky-panky, it does make for an amusing tangent. Guiness smiley face

Thranduil's Bargains · Thu Jun 17, 2004 2:28 pm

Well. I have read all you have posted. It is oddly lacking. What does it need? Wait a moment, let me think. Ah, yes, an ending eventually. But meanwhile, if you will add, I do not know, maybe another 20 chapters or so, I will go make some popcorn. Lots of popcorn. I do not think I will stop. If confused, ask Havetoist about the popcorn.

Very well done. I read another poem similar to this, but this one is more concise and well, to quote the others, frightening and scary. I raise a glass of Buttershots to you and leave to pop some corn.

Okay, so chapter thirty is read. I am left thirsting for more. Pour us another couple of chapters and we may be willing to call it even, but we are NEVER satisfied. Hear the popcorn????

I love these stories. They are too funny. Do you have a list of stores that supply this model? Is it available in the States? Is the shipping charge very high. LALALOL
Oh, and I want the massage feature, also.

I like it so far. Not the usual Thranduil tale. That is refreshing. Okay, Kim, I am reading and liking.

The Diary · Fri Jun 11, 2004 9:34 am

What a wickedly sorrowful story! How did you get through it? I do not care for hobbit stories as a rule, as I am obsessed with the Elves, but this was truly a great piece. You can read a lot into Bilbo's character later in life. I however do not feel Frodo's reactions were too feminine. I personally do not care for Frodo, as he comes off seeming the long-suffering hero constantly (and that mournful stare of his, brrrrr). However, this really hit me. Thank you

Eowyn's sorrow · Thu Jun 10, 2004 6:01 am

Not too shabby. I liked the premise. I must have read after your typo changes. I only found a couple of tense errors.
"But we have sworn an oath of protection over a thousand years ago and we do not intend to break it. " is the only glaring one that caught my attention. Should read "But we swore an oath..."
Otherwise, well written. Please do not stop. I cannot even imagine how hard it is to write in a language that is not your primary tongue. We speak a lot of Spanglish in our house, but English is still the main language. My hat goes off to all the authors with English as a second language.

Too cute. I have discovered that you write some pretty impressive fluff pieces. I love them. They shed a glimpse of the mundane day-to-day existence. Most stories tell only the exciting moments. Sometimes it is the little things that remain with you. Thank you.

Who was that mysterious Elf? I suspect maybe even his father??? You will have to write a sequel to let us know. Well done. Very good imagery and detail.
