| Ah, well told indeed. Yes, well told, and we know that one survived, there in Cirith Ungol, where perhaps she might have herself hatched. | |

| "And if Angaril were fortunate, Elrond would not reward him with a promotion...wonderfully appealing compared to what he had been dealing with for the last few weeks." LOL! I really got to like this guy. And Thrandornen! "...ITS babies?" OO, daddy! Fun story, Ellie. I enjoyed the inclusion of the aftermath and your playing on the fact that the Eldar ain't dat wise 'bout ever'thin. :) For She is waiting... Author Reply: THank you very much! Angaril just showed up out of the blue in the story and he was a great guy to write about. I saw Thandronen on some webpage of photos of elves from Two Towers and liked him and his twins so I had to find room for them in a story at some point. They fit quite nicely into this tale. I'm glad you enjoyed this tale. I've never before written antyhing that folks have consistently called "fun". Now I need to figure out how I did it so I can write something else "fun" at some point. hmmm... Thanks for reading and reviewing and pointing things out and enjoying! | |

| Poor Angaril! Getting bitten at the last moment must have been excessively irritating - although I'm with Haldir! It's a good way to get out of having to tell Elrond about the actions of his sons. I loved seeing Elrond resting with his head on Celebrian's shoulder - and I suppose the twins' recklessness did have some positive outcomes. I enjoyed the ending with Shelob! It's a good thing she didn't get near to Earendil's descendants. Good story. Author Reply: I'm sure Angaril was thoroughly irritated, but it did get him out of the hard unpleasant task to talking to Elrond. I like seeing Celebrian as a strong and loving comfort for Elrond. I loved the quote about Shelob and couldn't wait to get to the end of the story so I could use it. I love when I can find quotes from Tolkien that fit themselves so nicely into what I am writing. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing and enjoying! | |

| Hi ellie! I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed this tale a lot. You were so fast in posting that it caught me away on a business trip and I wasn't able to find time to read it to the end until today. A very good spooky, scary and horror tale. The idea of Ungoliant kin is a very good one, and I think it is quite well developed. The hissing creature was truly terrifying, despite its maternal instinct, and Elladan and Elrohir were they usual selves. An entertaining read! Well done! Author Reply: I wanted to post the last chapter on Halloween, so I was trying to pace the postings to meet that. I'm pleased you enjoyed the story! I've never written anything like this before and I must admit I went into this rather blindly. It was such fun to write though and I can't believe I actually pulled it off. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing and enjoying! | |

| Well that was a dark little tale! But I loved it,for some reason I thought it was funny when the spider talked, I am glad everyone survived and Elrond didnt blow a blood vessal yelling at Elrohir and Elleden LOL Author Reply: I'm so glad you enjoyed this. It was so much fun to write. I wish I could think of soemthing else "fun" to write. Any suggestions? | |

| the end ? *sniff* really?? that's just so .... sudden..... Author Reply: Sorry! I sort of ran out of things to do to them and out of warriors healthy enough to get everyone else home. But I left it open with Shelob still out there munching on crunchy elf surprise. or would that be surprised crunchy elf? I'm so bad. anyway... I'm tickled that you enjoyed the story so much that you didn't want it to end. Perhaps my twins muse or my Haldir muse will find me again and bring some juicy morsels for me to write about and perhpas they will bring a plot and good storyline as well and not just the twins and Haldir as juicy morsels. I'm rambling and it's time to get the kids from school. Thanks for reading and reviewing! | |

| You "spin" a very interesting tale. (Yes, I know that's corny, LOL.) But I enjoyed this story while it lasted. Author Reply: And what better place to post this spider story than on the World Wide Web??? AHAHAHAHHAHA Thanks so very much for reading, reviewing and most especially for enjoying this tale, my first attempt at writing a spooky, horror, scary story! | |
