You can tell Aragorn is so glad Legolas has stayed to be by his side, and it is nice to see sam and his family happy and smiling,... I wonder what the evil is that is unhappy... Please continue, love it... Author Reply: Nice to see you here now, Pipinheart. You will find out what the evil is eventually. :-) Thank you for being such a faithful reviewer in every story. | |

Well met again Legolass, Welcome back. I see our old friends are up to some thing again hummm. Now this is intriguing. Great opening chapter, very nice to see a large collection of characters about. I'm always happy to see Thranduil visiting (or maybe he hasn't recovered from Estel and Legolas's last adventure.) As always your writing is excellent, I can certainly picture the party scene in my mind. Now who is after these two now? I think we're going to have to lock them up for a while. Until the next post, Your friend, Eliza Author Reply: Mae govannen, Eliza! It IS always good to hear from old friends. And that is why I wanted to give the Fellowship and other characters a chance to meet in celebration..... before the angst starts :-) You want to lock the creepy ones up for a while? I dont; think they're going to be too happpy about that. Let's see what happens - my mind is wondering the same thing - still trying to work out some kinks. :-) TIll next time - thank you very much for dropping in. | |

Wow, this new story certainly got off to a cracking start! Can you see me jumping up and down with glee? I do love your writing style and I'm so glad you're sharing your talent with us again. How sweet was it to hear Elanor praising Gimli's fireworks? That was adorable and so like Gimli to provide such entertainment. I'm very intrigued by all the mysterious words concerning Aragorn.Who is out for revenge and why? Ahh, angst is on its way!I love it when our heroes are in danger :D Aragorn and Legolas' words to each other were very touching and I love how their friendship is at the core of your stories.Can't wait for the next update! Take care. Ali. Author Reply: Hi, Ali! Lovely to hear from you again. GLad you liked that little comment from Elanor; I thought that of all the people who could provide wonderful fireworks, Gimli had to be the one to do it best. :-) Yes, angst or not - Aragorn and Legolas' friendship will always be at the core of my stories, for as long as I can help it. And I'm delighted that you like that. Thanks for dropping in. Really good to hear from you. And no, I can't see you jumping up and down, but I can feel the vibrations! | |

Wow, you just hit the ground running with your writing. As you know, I always love your depiction of Legolas and Aragorn's friendship and this fic is no exception. I eagerly await more. Author Reply: Shaan Lien!! It's wonderful to hear from you again! The last time I did it was via email and you sounded so busy I wondered if you would ever read fanfic again, though i know you are writing it. Hey I'm swamped with work too, but this idea kept running around in my head and I had to open the door and let it out... Speaking of running... what a way to put it: 'you just hit the ground running with your writing'! lol - thanks! How are YOU? More on email when you have time perhaps? Thanks so much for dropping in. | |

I am so glad you started a new story. For the Love of the Lord of the White Tree is one of my favorite stories. I anticipate Shadow Realm to be right up there with it. You have tweeked my curiosity with the contrast between happy sun lite times and the hidden evil waiting. Thank you for your gift. Robin Author Reply: I hope this story will do the characters and the readers justice. Thank you very much for your support, Robinscat. :-) | |

Author Reply: You are welcome anywhere, Linda. :-) I hope I can build this story so that I don't disappoint the readers - and Tolkien and the characters.

Another story, and it begins with such an ominous undercurrent. "...the lament of unearthly voices, rising and falling in eerie cadences, now angry, now despairing, whispered tortuously in dark recesses, to swell and push against their unyielding confines – till even the rock walls of their prison quivered and trembled in torment." Nicely put. Tormented, angry spirits apparently bent on revenge against Aragorn, but for what? And how will they carry out their vengeance? I will try to be patient. I really will. ~TF Author Reply: Oh good, if you find it ominous! :-) I'm not so sure the spirits are bent on vengeance... but you and I will find out eventually, won't we? ;-) Great to hear from you again, TF. Thank you very much for your support. And yes - patience is a virtue. Gotta tell myself that too! | |

A new story!!! *beams happily, runs off, rummages noisily through kitchen and bathroom and comes back with sweets and tissues* No I'm ready! Hehe. Hmm. I wonder if "The Twice Forgotten" and the "Shadow Realm" have something to do with the Paths of the Dead?! This sounds very interesting if not exactly calming. ;-) I love reunions! It is really nice to see all those hobbits and elves and men and the dwarf again! And I loved this moment between Aragorn and Legolas - the greatest gift of all, indeed. *smiles* Though I'm quite sure all this peace will not last long... Your summary reminds me a bit of Ovid, more specifically "Orpheus and Eurydike". *looks thoughtful* Now I'm eager to see what happens next. It's really nice to have you back so soon! *hugs* And I'll wait (expectantly) all the time it takes for any new chapter! Author Reply: No, no need for tissues yet, dear Almut! But enjoy your sweets. :-) I changed the summary a little - does it still sound like Ovid? (But I didn't change it because of that, lol). Has the story something to do with the PoD? We will find out eventually, won't we? ;-) So nice to have you back too, SmilingDragonGirl - you crazy, lovable nut! And yes - like I said to another reviewer - patience is a virtue. I'm saying it mainly coz it will take me time to update, see? | |
