Chapter 19 was beautiful. I agree with Hathor, the rose from Duncan was quite touching. Can't wait for the next chapters. This is one story I wish won't end for awhile. I can see them having to deal with cravings, the birth, diapers, teething, toddlerhood, disciplining, and eventually maybe raging hormones of teenagers.

I spent positively hours zipping through this! I wasn't too thrilled at first, but by the time the Fellowship had cleared out, and explainations started rolling in, I was well and throughly hooked. The offbeat (but in tune) humor was so sweetly balanced by the tragedy, romance, action, and the hot, screaming, wild-and-crazy, scare-the-horses sex. Very Happy smiley face

Bravo!

Back from ten days in Switzerland to find three reminers about three new chapters sitting in my inbox...

How dare Beckett be born while I was away! Very Happy smiley face

Having never given birth myself (thank god, and I don't plan too, neither) you made the birthing scene very convincing- I felt poor Bronwyn's pain. Also, I liked the inclusion of Lera Mere, having also read that other story. Happy dancing Hathor! Dude smiley face

Good job, and I'm looking forward to what will happen now you've moved the timeapn forward. And I really liked how Bronwyn's speech has started to adjust into a formal style- a little touch that makes it more realistic that time has indeed passed.

I´ve just realized I never reviewed you story!!!!! Horror!!! How could I be so remiss??
Well, I´m here to make amends. I love your story! You´ve done an spectacular job. I´m well on my way to have reading hundreds of fics and sometimes I wonder on the astounding number of great writters out here but you´re part of a select group that counts three with you, that could write a whole story centered on an outside character and make a piece of art out of it. Your timing is perfect to me as it is the growing of all characters and their relationships. You are an amazing author. Congratulations. Smile smiley face

How glad I was to come here and find two new chapters!! I do hope it´s not really finished! I´ll say it again, it was an AMAZING piece of work! Your characters are alive, funny, believable, you make the elves sound more real than the majority of stories and, sometimes, even the original book!
Congrats again! Razz smiley face

First off - Thank you, thank you very much! (Elvis has now left the building!)

This is the end of the Empty Vessel. There MIGHT be a few more MisAdventures posted, I'm not sure. For some reason, I have a bunny concerning Faeowynne and her loves and there has been another little humorour bunny tenetively titled '3 Elves and a Elfling.' T

here is a sequel and it will be posted in the CrossOver Section. It is called Tel' Lindar (The Bard) and is a crossover to Harry Potter's World. So far, I have dry ran it at a HP site and the reviews so far have been favorable.

Tenentive launch for Tel' Lindar is October 31st, 2003. In the meantime, I am catching up on much needed sleep and catching up on reading...

Thanks you!

Wow. Wow. I've been following The Empty Vessel for a while and wow. It is amazing!! You should write a novel, and get it published, you're an amazing writer!! And if you do, TELL US!!! Wow. You took a well known story and characters, and created another piece of fiction rivaling the original... well almost!! Very Happy smiley face

The end? it bloody well better not be! Seriously, Zee this piece is a major acheivement, and should/will stand as an example of how a person who a)knows/researches the canon, b) has talent, creativity and writing ability to spare and c)can make the characters sing both literally and metaphorically can create a piece that goes beyond the usual and soars off into serious fabulousness Smile smiley face

(tongue in cheek) Of course, this may also be the story that inflicts a whole raft of MS and songfics on us, and we will know who to blame! (/tongue in cheek) EV has been an emotional rollercoaster, an action piece, an angst, drama, romance, tragedy, victory - whatever genre word you try to put on it, it busts right through the boundaries and shows what a layered, complex and well rounded piece it really is. I eagerly await (and I will use present tense as I will be reading the sequel!) each chapter, and there is an immediate sense of connection with the plot, the characters and the piece. That is testament to your ability to craft this piece, and these characters, and this world. This last chapter had a transition type tone to it for me; a tone I was glad for. Thank you for not drawing out our farewells to Beckett, Heridil, Anselm etc. I don't think I could have coped, I was crying anyway. A beautiful chapter to end a spectacular narrative. Thanks for sharing it with us; it will be a piece I read over again and again. And If you ever publish in RL, you better tell us! Wink smiley face

Oh, gods. *wipes away the tears* That was beautiful.

I've been following this fic for what seems like no time at all, but so much time has gone past and... just... thank you. I cried my little heart out at the end, over fictional characters... I wonder what that makes me?

Seriously though, you should be very proud of yourself for sticking with this story and finishing it all off. Each chapter was a joy to read, and anything that elicits an emotional response in me is usually a fairly big deal, at least in the world of fanfiction. The resolution was absolutely heart-wrenching but humourous at the same time. Poor Tolkien!

One more thing- you made me a Haldir fan. Whether this is something to thank you for is questionable... Wink smiley face

I can't wait for the sequel. Only real bitch: October 31st? The only weekend I'm going to be away? (Stargating across the universe... or at least a convention hall...) That's cruel!

Kidding, hun. Big well done on a job fantastically done.

OH! I forgot!!! Laughing smiley face

There is a TRANSITION MisAdventure. I will be posting it next week and it's a ***GASP*** songfic (sorry) called "Strokin'.

Just let your widdle imaginations run wild.. Twisted Evil smiley face

(AM still awed by the feedback I've gotten from this...)
