| tee hee! Nice to see the border-boys so disgruntled and ordinary. This is an effortless drabble - good job: you made it look easy. |

this gave me a giggle, I can just imagine Haldir's look of distaste as he confronts another lembas - well written  |

Nicely done! This ex-college student-on-a-budget thanks you for capturing that slightly queasy sense of woeful familiarity with a staple food you might once have been grateful for... And the poor dear can't even complain! Quite cool! |

That would get kinda irritating after awhile I suspect. Like the orcs and Urek-Hai in Two Towers, I am sure he just wanted some meats! Course, he wouldn't like men flesh but lembas all the time....how very dull. It would be kinda like when you're budget was stretched and all you could afford was mac-n-cheese on a good week and Ramen Noodles on a bad week.  Its a mac-n-cheese week this week - woohoo!! |

Cute! But I thought you did not believe that the "border boys" did not get any lembas because it was so special. But then again, maybe Galadriel has a thing for Haldir...after all, did not Melian give Beleg some lembas? Oh, that must have been because she forsaw his untimely death...
In my own fic, Haldir is a vegetarian like Beren...maybe lembas and doe's-milk cheese? That would get old after awhile!
You short fic gave us a nice glimpse into the often boring, long hours of pulling guard duty on the marches. Poor Haldir and his brothers! I can see this developing into a longer, more involved setting. Maybe an entire day of foraging for the day's meals. And some sibling rivalry to boot!  |

| You know, if you take out the 'e' and shuffle stuff around, they could make lamb stew. Poor guys, makes me want to take them some nice blt's. This was really cute and clever TG. |

Hello TG!
Hmmm, this is an interesting beginning. You got my attention right away with the name Haldir. He's certainly one of my favorite characters. I can certainly see where he'd be tired of eating the same thing over, and over, and over again. Hey, they're elves after all, not Eru himself. Elves may seem to be perfect, but even they have their frustrations.
Ok, so now that you've given us this titilating beginning, please tell us, what happens next! Does Haldir take his frustrations over having to eat Lembas again out on his poor, unsuspecting brothers? Do his mischievious brothers decide to try to add a little... interesting flavor to Haldir's lembas? Does Haldir bribe the bakers of the lembas to become wardens so he never has to eat the stuff again? Or does he, in a fit of insanity, brought on by too much lembas, threaten Galadriel with diar consequences if she doesn't give them something different to eat?
Don't leave us in suspense, pleeeeeeease!!! |
