Um, I must say that you are brave to post your first published fanfic, character assassination and all. The sex didn't grab me and, in places, seemed an odd (disturbing?) blend of clinical terms and the flowery ones used in romance novels. Legolas practically going all the way and then backpedaling when Eowyn is getting all eager rang a false note. As was the thigh-grabbing and palm-tickling during the wedding. Why didn't you revamp it rather than simple reposting it, if you think the quality is a bit sub-standard? (I gather from your note for CC, no flames, be kind, etc. that you have that opinion.) I have read Legolas/Eowyn fics, so I know the pairing can work, but not really in this PWP form and hanging on the hook that Faramir can't get it up. Confused smiley face

i must say i totally disagree with the previous review. for a first fic this was most excellent. even if it wasnt your first fic, it was excellent.i found this to be wonderful, delightful and thoroughly enjoyable. i thought both were in character; legolas trying be a gentleman while eowyn was demanding her way. please tell me there is a follow up for this.

Thank you Nothing2Sweet for the Kind Words in your review AND the personal Email. :blush: As a professional musician for most of the past 20 years, I have developed a pretty thick skin. Granted, I haven't been writing as long as most people, but I stand by the quality of my work. I learned a long time ago that you can't please all the people, all the time and as I keep EVERY piece of review I get (yes - including THAT one) I stacked it up this way: 4 pieces since mid - march (including 1 that so far is 17 chapters) and a total of 294 single reviews. 292 - great, 1 - I love it, but I had one small issue with this... (and then gave me an adult reason why.) and 1 - ulk. So you can guess what I think of her opinion! Roll Eyes smiley face

Also - I am posted on no less than 15 websites and I was invited to post on this one.

The beta for this piece was well known to be brutal on bad fic. She adored tearing writers and pieces to shreds and as she did not do this to this piece, I am comfortable in standing behind it as is. It is incomplete, there will be a followup in a future chapter of The Empty Vessel.

Last - thank God - in response to the comment about my supposed reluctance to post this as is - I asked for Constructive Criticism NOT because I was worried for the quality, but because it was the mature thing to do.

This was lovely. I think Legolas gentlemanly attitude through out was perfect! Very Happy smiley face

I found it well written and beautiful.

What was with the snarky review at the front? And you let it stay? Wow! You must be very confindant and sure of yourself to have a skin that thick. (I think she was brave to post something like that!)

I think you are a fabulous writer and if this was your first, then you are extremely talented. I am looking forward to reading the rest of your stuff.

I really, really loved this story! For one thing, the way you wrote Eowyns thoughts is how I always imagine her thinking. It sounded like Eowyn to me. A really enjoyable story.

I have to admit i was a little hestant about the rating (I am easily embarassed sometimes LOLOL) but Leggy was sooo sweet and the dialogue was very very good it really felt like something he might say and the way they were presented it wasn;t really smutty at all just sweet and romantic and LOL! i amblushing!

Well written! When you discovered she had his child, it moved me to tears... *****! I'm to emotional for my own good, but the phrasing was so well written.....

Nice story. Written fluently and was composed well. I like it because your writing style was very clear and easy to understand. Content is great too - keep it up Wink smiley face

A very lovely romp.

Am most glad you took this into the Empty Vessel and resolved the "canon" issue. Otherwise, I would have to scream.

You have a lovely, lilting style and the ability to paint pictures with words in a way most do not.
