To BellaRue and all our other readers out there,

It is awesome to know how much you have enjoyed the story of Legolas and Aralan so much. In fact, Roisin and I have enjoyed writing it so much that it seems like we can't stop writing at times. Rolling Eyes smiley face To seriously answer the question of when Part 2 will be posted, I will go out on a limb and say this month - January 2004. At the moment Part 2 is approximately 184 pages and is in the midst of being edited and rewritten in spots.

Okay now that you have picked up your head from off the keyboard, here is the deal - Part 2 will be broken into smaller chunks (maybe two or three), reviewed by beta readers, and then released in rapid succession. That way you get to read the story sooner and Roisin and I will be even more motivated to finish up Part 2. Because let me put it to you this way - after you have read the end of Part 2, you will be DYING to read Part 3. Twisted Evil smiley face

Thanks so much for updating! I'm squealing with excitement.

Btw, some of the phrases you use for Legolas' Elvish are incorrect. "A star shines upon (the hour of) our meeting" is 'Gîl síla erin lû e-govaded vín' in Sindarin, the tongue used by all elves remaining on ME in LotR, save for a few songs, prayers and laments that a Noldor might say (Galdriel, for instnace). The phrase you use is in Quenya.

Otherwise, I'm very much enchanted by this. It's very well-written and gives a whole new perspective to Legolas.

The answer as to when the next section will be posted is soon. I will not give an exact date, because that would jinx us. However, it would be safe to say that the second half of Part 2, now known as Part 3, will be posted in February. Bounce smiley face Glad to see that you have been enjoying the story so far.

I only recently discovered this story, but since I´m a very fast reader I´ve already read it three times. I´m not only a fast reader, I´m also very impatient - so PLEASE update soon! I´m dying here! This is sooo brilliant. Wave smiley face

Thanks Kinvara. Ironically enough, we are leaving for Ireland today and Kinvarra is one of the towns we'll be travelling through....

Anyway I'm almost done with some last-minute stuff and will give the edited draft back to Sindohte to send to the betas while I am gone. I get back on 4/1, but Sindohte will probably post before then assuming the betas don't have any major revisions for us. There are still a few small things in part one I would like to fix after I get back.

Thanks,

Roisin
