It's wonderful to see the final version of this finally go public! You know I love this mix of Tolkien and the ancient mythologies and this one is especially well done. It ties in with our real life so very well, it makes it easy to believe.

Good Lord, this is hilarious! Wonderfully written throughout. I particularly thought it well done to have the touch of melancholy in the middle but the lightheartedness at the end- appropirate for elves.

A nice debut Smile smiley face

This was fantastic! Both funny and thought-provoking.

This line: “The mortals have named Haldir the goddess of the hunt, and he has fled to the mountains in despair and shame” made me snicker. No wonder why Actaeon ended up poorly Wink smiley face

But reading this: “The mortals caught sight of him him bathing in the sea,” he whispered, but loud enough for Celeborn to hear. “And when he rose, fair and shining, out of the foam ….” I laughed out loud.

Thank you for sharing. Great job!

Very amusing! but also draws interesting and provocative comparisons. Good Job, Greywing - I think humor is best when it has something serious to say.

Loved it! So deliciously funny. Well crafted. Found the mix of elves and greek gods right on. Thanks.

Very. Very. Clever.
The more I think about the more this fic impresses, yes it is funny but it builds gently, building to end with a nice crascendo.

I've read this a couple of times now and still think it's just wonderful. The pace and story arch are wonderful, and the comparison of characters from Tolkien to the other legendary figures is a very interesting idea. I've recommended it in a live journal group I'm in, so hopefully you'll get more praise shortly! (Any chance of seeing what exactly happened with the twins and that whole fleece thing?)

LOL - great, this is just great. *smirk* Haldir as the goddess of the Hunt and Celeborn as... lol. I can just see it. Thranduil as Dionysos makes sense as well. I love it... What else but the golden vlies are the twins up to? Thank you so much for sharing this.
