| Dear Fiondil I have just reread this story.Iam wondering when you get time, will you do a story about Celeborn,Elrond and Amroth helping the trees to heal? Maybe tell the story of what happened at Eryn Dîn.I have to admit Once again you have me curious.LOl Galathil Author Reply: Hi Galathil. That story was written some time ago. You can find it in my Fiondil's Tapestry collection of short stories: Chapter 22: SILENT: iDhîn i-Gelaidh. Happy reading! | |

| Another great story, Fiondil. Well, it seems that those two were a little too immature for such a journey! Luckily Erestor seemed to guess that something would go wrong. I don't know why, but one of the funniest details was Elemmacil's very bad day. First he hears that his king's foster father has arrived in the city and fainted, then elves take command of a guesthouse, then they leave suddenly and leave poor Elemmacil behind without telling him anything. I wonder how he did explain it all to Valandil! I really liked when the twins were in Azaghâl-dûm, it made an interesting scene. But I wonder if the scouts got their hazard pay... Thank you for writing this, I really enjoyed it. Author Reply: Hello. You're very welcome. I'm so glad you enjoyed this little story, which I really wrote as a lark without any real serious intent to it. This is actually mentioned in my earlier story "Tâd Edhil a Firion", though no details are given. People kept asking me what happened with the Twins when they tried to go overmountain to Lórien on their own, and so this story came about. I thought the scene with Elemmacil rather amusing myself, especially with Glorfindel going all Balrog-Slayer on everyone. *grin* And I enjoyed writing about Azagâl-dûm as well. That was something of a challenge. As for the scouts getting hazard pay.... *sly wink* Anyway, thanks for reading and letting me know how much you enjoyed this story. I'm always happy to know when someone finds one of my older stories. | |

| And the end! :) Well done, I enjoyed reading this story-I started it a long time ago but then left off because of issues, but I finally got to finish it! ...At 2 am...:3 Will this "great wrong" ever be discussed further? Woohoo! Go Celeborn! He totally rocked that part; I have to admit that I was half-expecting Galadriel to step in and take charge but I was really glad that Celeborn got the chance to show off his spiffy powers. *grins* Poor, poor Erestor! Trying to a right then that blows up. .. :( May more inspiration be blessed upon you for future writing! :0) Author Reply: Thanks, MP. I'm glad you enjoyed this story. In my "Tapestry" series I tell the story of the Silent Wood and what became of it. The title is "SILENT: iDhîn i-Gelaidh" (Chapter 21). I'm glad you liked Celeborn in this. I think he is a highly underrated Elf and I was happy to showcase his powers here. | |

| This was realy fun to read. I especially loved the dwarves, they don't get a chance to have "fun" with elves like this often enough LOL! I loved all the little touches, like the clothes they were given. I could just imagine some little bearded dwarf girls hurriedly sewing cloaks together! And Thekki.."Methinks the name was something like Elroth or Elmond or..." made me laugh out loud. The characters of Eluwen and Thandir are great too, all through the story. I especially loved the poor ellyth's mad dash to Lorien, and I wondered who she'd run over, Haldir? And why doesn't it surprise me that Galadriel wears a mail shirt under her tunic? *g* All very well done! Author Reply: Thanks, Kestrel. I'm glad you enjoyed this tale. I had lots of fun writing it, as you probably can guess. *g* | |

| Dear Fiondil, I wanted to read this story for months since it was nominated for the MEFA's. To be honest, the title did it; just as Elf interrupted immediately caught my attention and I have been pointing Glorfindel-lovers to that story as much as I could. I am in the middle of reading that story, and am at one tenth perhaps and will not make it on time (I am really sorry about that, but I have it printed and can read it while watching over my toddler). Secondly, I loved your writing style the moment I reviewed Drawing Straight With Crooked Lines at HASA. Consider me a silent fan of your works who sadly enough does not have enough time to read and review as I could in the past. Now, onto this story. It had me laughing, perching on the edge of my seat, pushing back tears, feeling proud and yes, also in tears that came when Elladan broke down in the end. It is a wide range of emotions to evoke from your reader and you did it with skill. There is so much I want to say, but I am trying to safe it also a bit for the MEFA review, but I am deeply enchanted by your character Thandir (teetering on the edge of calling myself a fangirl). It must be my love for Noldo elves that might make me wanting to know more about him. I have been trying to find out if you ever considered telling his tale, if you have not done that already; can you either let me know (even if it is written where I can find it)? Reading this story was quite an adventure; a special nod towards the description of the Dwarven realm is well deserved, especially given the past of this race. I could not help to think how perhaps these Dwarven lords learnt much from either Caranthir, nay even better: from Curufin on how to work the emeralds and filling them with light. I took utter delight in how you gave Celeborn a special role and oh Amroth! That was just simply great. Another thought that came to me (ah well while we are at it), was the moment Celebrian collapsed in shock, this came awfully close in how I perceive Nerdanel's bond with her children, and I often have been wondering how Elven parents must have been balancing between life and death (think of the kinslaying at Alqualondë alone!), what a shock must that have been, a nation nearly crippled in grief and darkness, this on top of the destruction of the Trees. Oh dear, now I have plotbunnies everywhere. As if I needed more. ;c) I will cease my long rambling and thank you for writing this wonderful story. Cheers, Rhapsody the Bard Author Reply: Hi Rhapsody. Thanks for telling me how much you enjoyed this story. It was a product of a tale that I did not elaborate on in my novel "Tad Edhil a Firion" which features Elrond, Glorfindel and a 25-year-old Aragorn traveling to Mirkwood. Elrond tells this particular story to Aragorn. While I've not written a specific story about Thandir, he does appear in my story "Stirrings of Shad0w" (in fact he's pretty much taking over; you know how these elves can be *grin*). Perhaps I will be able to tell his tale someday. One of my OCs from "Elf, Interupted" who also fled Valinor under Finrod's banner wants his story told and I think the two of them would have known each other and fought together, so if I do write the story, I will most likely write about the two of them and their relationship with Finrod against the backdrop of the Wars in Beleriand. All of my stories, btw, are on Stories of Arda, so you can find them there, but I'm slowly putting some of them on other sites. I can understand not getting through "Elf, Interrupted" too quickly, but I'm glad you're reading it anyway. One of the stories I hope to write will be about the Darkening of Valinor and the psychological effects on its inhabitants after the Noldor rebel. Anyway, thank you for this lovely review. I'm glad you like my writing. | |

| It was great to see so much of the early Third Age, when Moria was still a thriving dwarf-city, and Amroth still lived, and there was no Mirkwood...it really was a wonderful time, and I was continually surprised by how you showed this to us, even though I already 'knew' it. And, of course, the antics of the twins were great - they tried so hard.... Author Reply: Yes, as I was writing and researching this story, I came to realized just how much history there was where there was peace and prosperity before all the bad things began to happen: Moria, Mirkwood, Smaug, etc. I think this story helps put all of that in perspective. | |

| I hope the elves manage to rescue the silent wood and win over the trees. And I still reckon Elrond should be grateful to Erestor for his foresight! I enjoyed the story - and look forward to another one soon. Author Reply: Thanks, Bodkin. I'm glad you've enjoyed this story and I appreciate your comments and that you are looking forward to more stories from my pen. | |
