Beautifully written, (please can you hurry up and update) (?)

As I said in the forum post, this is quite possibly the best work of fanfiction that I have come across. I am not overly fond of 'extra fellowship member stories' but yours flows very well. Also, it isn't what the story revolves around, it's more like a sub-plot. It makes the story very personal and you get to feel close to it's characters.

Your portrayal of emotion is exquisite. I have seen lots of authors tend to over-exaggerate feelings, which in the process, over-simplifies them. Your writing has a quaint subtly that is very refreshing.

Also, you didn't feel the need to dote only over the relationship with Legolas and Eliwen. Their interaction with the other characters made them more real, like they could function socially without each other. Many fanfic writers leave out that part, making the characters seem like pathetic love-sick weenies. (Can I say weenie?)

Again, beautiful, absolutely wonderful story.

*Want's update now* Evil or Very Mad smiley face

You're one of those authors that has to be very careful, because somebody might just happen to kiddnapp you and lock you in thier closet with a computer and Legolas pictures for eternity. Not that I would ever do anything like that!*Whistles innocently*

Update Soon smiley face

Maria,

A wonderful chapter, dear. I loved Nárgalen. He is the perfect mix of passionate,
impatient and devoted. (Be careful, someone might come steal that muse for a
little play-time.... Twisted Evil smiley face

) I thought his acceptance to the proposal to be wonderful,
and very Nárgalen-like. But even if it wasn't the 'romantic moon-lit' setting, it sweeter
somehow. The way he did it, yelling down the corridor to Annael, seemed to prove to
her that he was not afraid of anyone knowing of their love. *Sigh* I'm a sucker for men
like that (and it seems elves as well)

I loved your portrayal of Gimli (as always), he was not comic relief, just simply a
devoted friend who wanted his stubborn elves to be happy. The gifts you contrived
for Legolas to give to Eliwen were perfect, and very fitting. The interaction of
Nárgalen and Gimli was very realistic, given the circumstances. It was touching
that even if they didn't like each other very much, they were willing to put aside
their differences of opinions for the good of their friends.

We didn't have much Legolas time in this chapter, but I understand why.
His patience and loyalty is maddening! Get them together soon! I hate seeing
him all sad and lonely...

Again, an absolutely wonderful chapter, dear. Your work is exquisite and I anxiously
await the return of Eliwen to her beloved elf-boy. But I'm crushed that its ending Cry smiley face
