Nothing of interest to you," Gimli replied, softening the rebuke by patting Pippin's knee. "Unless you, too, are thinking about our most wondrous host. VrĂąlsfire," he murmured reverently.

Wonderful. I know very few stories that really try to explore a dwarvish mind, and you succeeded masterfully. I would love to translate this into german, if you allow, and I would also like to nominate this for the MEFA's this year. Wonderfully done.

Oh - and here you can see what I already translated for my german readers:

Thank you so very much, Cuthalion! I saw that you had nominated this for the MEFAs and was so gratified. I'd be *thrilled* if you wanted to translate this into German. I looked at your webpage and see that you've translated a favorite author and inspiration to me, Altariel. Thank you! I do love the Dwarves, Gimli in particular. This is part of Fanfic100, so I'll be writing a lot of these over time.

This is wonderful, Thevina, and I'm so glad it popped up as the Story of the Day. I am impressed not only by your characterizations, but how your writing, with its richness and economy, also carries that characterization.

I totally agree with NancyBrooke. I am so glad this was a Story of the Day on a day that I was on-line. Beautifully written. And I love the Dwarves, too.

Many, many thanks! I really enjoy writing about the Dwarves, and Gimli in particular since JRRT gives us more to work with in regards to his personality. But my special thanks for your comments about my writing itself; I do consider myself to be a wordsmith and writing craftsperson, honing my skills as the Dwarves do. Smile smiley face

Yay! Another Dwarvish fan! There don't seem to be too many of us, unfortunately. Sad smiley face
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I'm glad it popped up as the Story of the Day on an occasion for you to run across it. Thank you also for letting me know that you enjoyed it. Reviews are wonderful.

Beautiful. We all got to see how much Galadriel affected Gimli and you've captured his newly found deviotion to her wonderfully And I love the growing friendship and respect between Gimli and Legolas. Bravo.

Off to read the next one....Very Happy smiley face
