I have discovered this story purely by accident, and spent the last 24 hours reading it. I only stopped to get some sleep, and would not even have done that, if I wasn't in danger of keeling over. Having said that... I find your story to be delightful. There is enough interaction with Tolkien's original work to make it believable, and you have managed to add a rather heartbreaking twist to it. I am thoroughly amused at Legolas' almost-British reserve in doing anything, for fear that "society would have him do otherwise". I beg of you to let him come to his senses before it is too late. It is invigorating to see an OFC who is anything *but* a whimpering female. I may not always agree with Alaran's thoughts or actions, but at least she has the courage to do something.

One small side comment: in reading this story, I stumbled upon a few sentences that I would consider mildly run-on, as well as some minor grammar errors. Most of these appeared to be the result of an edit, where part of a sentence was removed. They were not serious enough to "raise my hackles", but perhaps it would be prudent to keep an eye on them? Other than that, this is a job well done.

Ok, back from Ireland, Guinness all around....we plan to post Part three on Thursday, April 8. Story is at the betas and they have been told to get it back by Wednesday. Thanks for the constructive grammar criticism. The British reserve comment is interesting, I can see where we sort of wrote it that way..hmm, Legolas as J. Alfred Prufrock..... Razz smiley face

I am totaly losing my mind in wonder as what's to come. I love this story!! I was very happy that Legas and Aralan finally got together. I can hardly wait to find out what is going to happen next. Until then, I will be going bonkers!! Please drop us all a line letting us know when you'll be updating soon.

Thanks for all of the wonderful comments Very Happy smiley face

It is awesome to know that Roisin and I have written a story that has captured your interest. The two of us took a brief holiday from writing DoK, but we have returned to work. As for when we will post the next installment, the two of us have been discussing releasing it in chapters instead of waiting and then posting a big multi-chaptered update. The whole concept of posting a chapter at a time is just a novel idea for us in terms of our typical co-writing style. However, that is not to say change is a bad thing. So rest assured that we will keep you updated on our progress. And once again, thank you everyone. Very Happy smiley face

This is sooo sooo sooo unfair, you can't just leave us on a cliff hanger for near eternity, it's just not right! At least give us a chapter or something to keep us happy for a while and to releave us from this suspense that you have put us in!
