I love this story and am dying for an update!

Okay, I know you haven't updated in a while, but you tend to go longish periods between updates. Still, I'm starting to wonder if you ARE going to keep going with this! It's an absolutely brilliant story. It's so well written, and all the characters are completely alive. Though I must say, I'm disappointed that you're using the movie verse. You obviously have a fairly good grasp of Tolkien's world, particularly your Sindarin (which for once is correct and isn't greyelvish. *grumbles* everyone uses greyelvish now... why? why?) so why did you choose to stick with the movie version? I mean, by choosing that route you're killing of Haldir, cutting Elladan, Elrohir and the rangers out, cutting Imrahil, and generally leaving out significant subtleties that made the original story every thing it was. As much as I understand why Peter Jackson did what he did with the scriptwriting it doesn't make me all that much happier about it. Though fortunately you've managed to portray Pippin and Gimli not quite as much of the idiots the film made them out to be. Neither of them were particularly slow or anything, but the film used them as comic relief, particularly Gimli. *grumbles* Anyway, back to your story. It's amazing, really. I seriously hope you'll continue to write. And I apologize if you're really busy and this seems like I'm nagging you. I understand completely if you're busy and unable to update. But I'm merely hoping desperately that you're not giving this up.

Ok, I saw the length of this story, I saw that it was still a WIP, I saw that you take forever to update and like to stop in terrible cliffhangers BUT STILL I couldn't stop myself from reading it. It is so wonderful! I got hooked, I spent hours and hours reading non stop. And now I know that I am going to suffer like hell waiting for the updates... What can I do? As we say in Portuguese, quem sai na chuva é pra se molhar (something like those who go out in the rain know they’re gonna get wet). I think I'll have to endure the rain... Doh! smiley face

Oh my, I could not stop reading until chap 36!!! Thumb smiley face

And that says something about your story and writing. It usually takes me a lot of time to find a good story to read. And yours is one of them. But your writing is so good; it's really pulling me into the story. I also love your video, and the pictures. I hope you’ll update soon. You rock smiley face

Cormack, I think if it were anyone else, we'd have a problem with slow updates. But for you, I believe I can speak for all your followers that it's okay with us. You make up for the time lapse in the chapter you post.

I'm glad Kaitlyn finally told Legolas how she feels for him. I guess Aragorn is to thank for that. He's definitely been an older brother to her, and has helped her a great deal. Now I definitely can't wait to find out who it was watching them. Obviously it's someone Kaitlyn has been hanging around and who has developed feelings for her. Hopefully they won't cause any problems.

Wonderful chapter, Cormak! Smile smiley face

The tension in this chapter literally had me on the edge of my seat! I loved it! Knowing that Kaitlyn's decision could send a warrior into battle either broken-hearted, or full of hope, had me very anxious to find out what her decision would be.

I loved the intimacy of their conversation, too. You convey the emotions of your characters superbly. Great job!

Now, if only I knew who was watching them in the shadows?! I'll definitely be awaiting your next update to find out. Smile smiley face

Yes, I know that an update won't come for sometime, but that's okay...I'll be here when it arrives. Very Happy smiley face

Found this story today and read it straight through. I have a few questions and comments. How could you murder Haldir?? Evil or Very Mad smiley face

Is Legolas a virgin?? Who is spying on them? Will she stop crying so much? I look forward to more story.

That was mean, cruel, and awful! You choose to end the updates THERE? AHH! I sit in my room all day obsessively reading this (absolutelybrilliantlywonderful) story until the ungodly hour of 3am, and then updates end here? Ahh! I might just go insane!

Anyway...

Absolutely brilliant story. You have defeated the MS title, in my eyes. Kaitlyn is someone most girls can sympathize with... you have protrayed her wonderfully and not swayed her character throughout all (sixteen billion) of this story. Does that make sense? Something else I admire you for, is that you managed to make a lot of the Quest seem more real to me. One particular time in my mind was when the Rohirrim were surrounding Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. And when Gandalf "died". And then in Lorien, when they found ultimate peace that they desired. Somehow, you've managed to make the story more real to me, mellon nin! I commend you for it! It was beginning to be a little tedious after watching them 34 times... Each.

Well, felt I would drop the review and beg you to update soon. Otherwise I might have to send my Elladan after you. Smile smiley face
