Whoa Baby!!! Exclamation smiley face That was GOOD!

With an ending like that, I actually didn't mind that it's FIN. I didn't expect it (HE is a descendant...HA!) but it sure did close the circle nicely. Wow! Yeah, I'm speechless.

I'm now trying to convince my husband to read it. He's a techy as one can get but he just hasn't warmed up to the idea of reading a story online. Sad smiley face I'm almost tempted to print it out except the page count did say 728 on MS Word. Confused smiley faceHmmm, maybe if I delete some paragraph breaks...decrease the font...

You have a great talent for storytelling. I'm glad you shared it with us. I'd like to echo SingerAngel's sentiments about if you ever publish a novel...PLEASE let us know. I think you already have a fanbase, and you can consider me as one of your fans. Looking forward to reading "Strokin'" and any other stories you may have up your sleeves. Very Happy smiley face
Take Care,
Ermina Wink smiley face

I have read far more fanfic than I could ever count. Very few really stays with me. This story did. This story drew me into a world like an epic novel would. I simply adored this story. I laughed outloud, I cried my way through the last two chapters. It really got to me and thats a great story in my book! It is one of the best stories I have ever read.

Hilarious, beautiful, odd, romantic, sexy, dramatic, intense, exciting… Your fic has it all!! I read it for three days straight! I only rested when I finished it! It’s no need to say that my job was left aside when I was feasting myself in this incredible story! I had to admit that I didn’t like the story at first, I found Bronwyn too annoying, but then I ended up liking her because she was annoying! Hahahah Girl, I have to confess that I almost cried so many times, I felt goose bumps in others, and laughed hysterically through your wonderful story that I lost the count! Write more, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

The paper you have cost me.

Are you published? You should be. This is a tour de force, a most spectacular work. It is epic in proportions and you have used your talents wisely. Thank you for obviously delving into the qppendixes and remaining fairly true to canon.

I however, find myself in the unusual position of defending the deviation of canon; specifically, the sex lives of the Elves, but in all honestly, I want to very much agree with you. Regardless, I do not think it detracts.

To give a face and a voice to JRRT's muse is mind-boggling. While I would suspect you have taken some drumming for it, I am glad to see it has not surfaced here and I applaud you for your vision.

Now, onward to this sequel...

Like the previous reviews, I was wowed! I truly enjoyed your story and appreciated the fact that "Braun" was approaching middle age (since I'm the same age!). You have a wonderful talent and I am already searching for more stories. I just completed BIRTHDAYS & BUNNIES and laughed! I have to say that before I read EMPTY VESSEL I was not much of a Haldir fan, but you have certainly changed my mind! I enjoyed his arrogance and pridefulness as well as seeing him unsure of himself. What a job you did! Thanx for all the time you put in on this story!!

This story was absolutely amazing. I'd just like to thank you for writing such a well develeloped and meaningful story. Haldir and Bronwyn, and their dedication to each other, their family and friends, and life's duties, are truly inspirational. I cried at times ( a lot actually!) and at other times I laughed out loud. This is truly an outstanding story, and I just wanted to add to the praise already given by other reviewers. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Such an amazing story will not soon be forgotten. Job well done!
