This is just fab-u-licious! There is nothing funnier than showing up the common ordinariness in something rare and fine and you have done it here with such cleverness and panache! Just awesome! You Go Gurl!

I still giggle every time I read this! Laughing smiley face

I once came across a comment that said Luthien was the Tolkien equivalent of a likeable Mary Sue. What makes me particularly laugh about this piece is here we have an idea of a teenage Luthien who is typically and obnoxiously Mary Sue (by our standards at least).

And we don't care if you stuck to the challenge. Because this is fabulous!

You're the only person who can 'fail' so brilliantly. Challenge smallenge - this poem was the best. And you did break type - you wrote about a character you hated and had never written about so I think that's broken enough! I love the idea of Luthien being all pouty of Goldberry. Imagine the catfight between those two! lol Brilliant Viv.

Ha ha ha! Now I won't ever read that part of the Silm without thinking about Beren taking a shower bi-monthly! Very Happy smiley face

Outstanding!

I am laughing so hard I can't see straight. This is priceless.

LMAO. I think I've just realized why Luthien always bugged me; she's just so super perfect about pretty much everything that I could see her getting jealous of the other pretty girls in the neighborhood. This reads like it could have come out of "Mean Girls" or "Clique". Very Happy smiley face

Just great.

Love this. The idea - the sentiment - and the poetry style, which exactly fits the sujects and the era. Great work. LBJ

Viv I don't care if you moved away from the challenge, this is absolutely fabulous! It really does portray Luthien in a new light, it's great to imagine her as young and angsty rather than too good to be true, thank you so much, I actually snorted! Very Happy smiley face

Take that, River-daughter; go swallow a cod.

My most favoritest line. You may not have met the challenge but you had me laughing my head off on GOI and here! I like the poetry idea and I love your humor, so there!

Great piece.
