| I absolutely loved your "Steffverse"! Since I am neither a purist nor too fond of AU this is the perfect balance to me. Well, I hate movie-Éowyn - stupid little doll - but you managed to give her profile and character. As for Faramir, you know -- I remember a discussion on the net where one stated: `Faramir is a ranger.Aragorn is a ranger. Both live in the wild. Both sleep on the ground. How come Aragorn always looks he would need a bath and Faramir not´? Therefore, my only complaint is your dirty Faramir... I'm waiting for the epilogue but I want to thank you now for a most enjoyable read. Hopefully, you have a new story somewhere back in that clever brain of yours! Thank you, and NOT goodbye... Irene Author Reply: Hi Irene - I really appreciate your support as I moved along, and hope that "Avoidance" ended nicely for you. There were four major avoiders in "Avoidance." Three of them had to have a confrontation before the story could end. The fourth "avoider" was Aragorn, of course, and he needed his moment of realization. That is in "Hope Comes for Estel." Stay tuned for the "Avoidance" Epilogue. And yes, I do have some more ideas for stories. For me, as always, the stuff I have to write for my job comes first. Nevertheless, my LOTR fanfic writing and reading finds time in my life. Thanks to all for reading "Avoidance." - Steff | |

| You had me laughing out loud here. I liked the way you showed Eomer's hurt over his sister's refusal to come to Cormallen, something I fear I have overlooked in my stories,which is very plausible. Faramir is a very clever man. Thank you for your kind words in your notes.I am greatly enjoying this story, even though,as a Tolkien purist, I don't agree with everything,but it is a very good read and I've laughed the most over what I don't think Tolkien would like! Author Reply: Hi Linda - You said: even though,as a Tolkien purist, I don't agree with everything,but it is a very good read and I've laughed the most over what I don't think Tolkien would like! Well that comment got me laughing. I'm sure my story must have Tolkien rolling in his grave. I hope it's with laughter. I must admit I got a kick writing all those canon infringements. If I go to heaven and meet Tolkien there, I'd be in deep and serious trouble. - Steff | |

| I felt sorry for Eowyn here, caught between those two macho reprobates; but she certainly got most of her own back. I had to LOL at Eomer's loud demands to know if Eowyn and Faramir had SEX, and Faramir's angry (justifiably) reply that it was none of his business. And then of course, the guys talk about beer and courage and become buddies. The story has been great fun to read the whole way through. I look forward to the epilogue; and congratulations on reaching the ending. Author Reply: Thanks Raksha, and I couldn't a done it without your help. I've been waiting over a year to finally write the show down between these three, and must say I had a lot of fun composing it. So many people have written the initial meeting between Faramir and Eomer as confrontational. But I thought these two might get along famously, after getting a few sensitive issues out of the way--such as will Faramir be a good husband and perfect match for Eowyn. They both are powerful war captains who appreciate a tasty tankard of ale :) (how "guy" like). The Epilogue, which is about one third written, contains the Coronation scene from Eowyn's POV, which a few people have asked me to write. The other scene, of course, is the finale of the big shower that Faramir and Arwen have held for Eowyn. Both have some surprises that I think give a nice closure to "Avoidance." Again, thanks for your support, hope you and all the quiet masses that I know have read "Avoidance" had lots of fun, a few shocks at my, uh, interpretation of book and movie canon, and LOLs in the appropriate scenes. - Steff | |
