| “Is there time for her? With all the evil moving ever faster in this world, will there be time for a small hobbit girl to heal?” A very important question! I hope Harmony does heal. Was Elrond using his gift of foresight? His 'prediction' of I have foreseen great music in her future. She is destined to accomplish a great deed in her way. This small hobbit girl will aid in the healing of the Shire, which will in turn complete her own healing. We will heal her in mind, body and spirit in preparation for that day. That is an amazing concept! So I hope you will write more chapters with Harmony. Tharon is off to the south (along with Leaward's Tarkil & Haldon ;)), but I hope he has a cameo once the war is over! I enjoyed this tale of yours and I hope you soon get your plotbunnies on track and write a new chapter! Author Reply: Elrond using foresight yes, and I hope the author is able to pull it off without being too sappy. I have images, and ideas of what is going to happen in future chapters, it is the details and transisitons that are fighting me. Ah for more hours in the day. (you have read leawards stories! ARen't they WOnderful!! I feel SO honored she is borrowing theron.) Thanks huge huge bunches for reading and reviewing!!! It has been a boost to my writers ego!! | |

| I really liked the way you portrayed Elrond in this chapter, and the use of music in bringing Harmony back to consciousness. The fact that Tharon also took part and was so adamant about staying til she awoke speaks volumes of his character and compassion. I really like this - I know exactly what you mean about a story changing and making things difficult to continue. I'm working on a chapter now for the story I'm doing and thought it was going one way, only to have things take a complete turn in a surprisingly new direction! I had to go research something that I feel absolutely must be a part...I have no idea how it will BE a part, only that it must...(HA!)...and there I am...thoroughly stuck! But, I have found that often if I just sit and go for what I think is there, I'll get enough down to lead me in the right direction. I may have to revise 50,000 times (LOL) but it eventually comes. I hope you give this a go...it has so much promise!!!! (And I looked back and saw that I have read and reviewed your story of the little orc who loved the light...I reread it and loved it even more! My very first story sounds like that one of yours...I sat down one afternoon and the thing practically wrote itself! I wish they were all that way!) Here's hoping to see ch.6 in the future!!! :-) linda Author Reply: Hi there linda, Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Life keeps getting away from me. I just don't seem to have time lately to devote to my stories! Anyhoo, thanks so much for reviewing so nicely! And for letting me know that i'm not the only author who has stories fight them. Big huge thankings!!! REALLY!! Here's to hoping i get to chapter 6+ soon!! | |

| Sorry it's been so long! I've been celebrating finishing finals week at college. This is a good way to celebrate. First of all, how absolutely awful for Harmony! To ride away hearing your parents' screams, I was hoping they'd ride away fast enough for her to miss that. And she feels so guilty, I was afraid of that. Poor thing, even if she had jumped on bareback, she probably hasn't ridden enough to be able to stay on! I really like Tharon. Very cool name, very sexy, ranger-like. lol. He was so sweet with her, chasing away her bad dreams. And an excellant marksman with the bow, ahhh. lol. This is a good plot. I'm so excited she will play a part in healing the shire. Sort of a music therapist maybe? Lots of those at my school. I for one, completely believe in the practical power of music even today. I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll use it. Sometimes I think it's hard to write about a certain race without making them sound all the same, making an elf very different from a hobbit or whatever. But you write hobbits very well. They're so simple and loveable with such great strength. I was glad you didn't have Harmony immediately figure out what was going on and have her have all this "inside info" for Elrond, which would have made her very Mary Sueish. Rather, you kept to Harmony's story, which is such an interesting one in and of itself. Well, have a lovely Christmas and hope to read more soon!!! Author Reply: Hi Lera First of all, let me appologize for taking so long to respond. You know how the holidays can be. Well, that and a good case of the lazies. Second, WOW! what a long review! I don't know how to thank you! So many lovely things you said. I'm swooning. As for the music bits. having a music degree myself and at one time i considered Mus. therapy. (I have a cousin who teaches that very subject, at your university even) It is natural for me to insert music into a story. I have a lovely little scene in mind in which frodo makes a brief appearance. (if i ever get around to writing that far. This story has been harder for me to write than my others, course it is also longer, much longer than even i intended it to be. I'm starting to get back into the swing of things though, so bear with me!! In the meantime, in a few days i'll be posting a lovely little Frodo-Sam story in which F decides to try gardening. Thanks again SO much for reviewing!!! I wish more people would. | |

| I really like Tharon! But then maybe that's because I have such a fondness for Rangers. I'm glad to see Harmony arouse from her nightmares in Rivendell. And I'm glad you listened to your hubby and didn't keep her brother and sister in the fire. I'm hoping that's a good omen that she'll meet up with them again later. Author Reply: SQUEEEEE! thanks for coming over to my wee story and reviewing! Yes, I like tharon too! I think he tried to take over the story! He looks (and sings like) Ewan McGregor. Feel free to borrow him in your fantastic story if ya want. Yeah, my husband said no way to the kids burning. I wanted the experience to me megga traumatic, but he is a softy and talked me out of it. I think what she did go through was plenty. So they are out in the cold. We'll have to wait and see what becomes of them. Thanks again so much! and now i'm off to read the next chapter of your Story! | |

| phew! That's better! :D Author Reply: I'm glad you think so. Although strangely enough, I found being evil easier than i'm finding writing the not so evil stuff. But thanks for reading and reviewing, YOu have no idea how much it means to me!! | |
