| Earwen makes an appearance--excellent! And I loved the idea of Osse and Uinen taking on the form of dolphins. Author Reply: It was funny, I wasn't actually intending to have the dolphins be Osse and Uinen, but the muse suddenly went "Ah, ha!" and the ficlet turned a completely different direction than I'd initially intended. I'm glad you liked it! | |

| In my mind the Valar wanted the elves closer and so brought those who would go to Aman, but it seems most writers concentrate on the Noldor (they are fascinating). This makes you realize there were other Powers who didn't necessarily want the elves to be hidden away. I'm not saying it well, but it's really neat to see. I love the Telerin elves, but then I live next to the ocean so I'm a bit inclined to gravitate to their pov! *g* These are great to read! Author Reply: I was never right on the ocean front more than a handful of times as a child, but the sea impressed me mightily. Now I'm at least 900 miles from the closest ocean with not much chance to get to it anytime soon--but I do have my lovely memories to draw on (as well as a sister who scuba dives and sends me lovely pictures of reefs and fish!). I always liked the idea of the Valar not always being unanimously in accord in regards to how the elves should best be protected from Morgoth, even though the dissenters did not rebel against Manwe's pronouncements. And I think it says a lot about Olwe that he could argue his case for the delay in Beleriand, and then the coronari that the Teleri spent on Tol Eressea before the call of Aman proper became stronger than the call of the sea. Thanks for reviewing! It makes my day to know that you enjoy this string of ficlets. | |

| Twinling, I love your other three ficlets but this one is my favourite. "I missed you." that broke my heart and made me sympathise with Osse, who is most typically written as pretty much an irresponsible bully and "angry young Maia". Lovely job! Author Reply: As soon as the muse told me who the dolphins were, I immediately thought of you and the picture you sent me of your day playing with dolphins in Flordia. :) In regards to Osse, like all other personalities, he's more than just an archetype, although a lot of writers don't bother to explore what else he might be beyond the Maia who almost followed Melkor save for the determined love of his wife. Thanks for letting me know what you think! | |

| I have rather a soft spot for Osse and Uinen, now that they keep working their way into my stories. Heh! Author Reply: I'd noticed that! :) This is the first time that I have written them myself and I have a feeling that I will be going back to them sometime soon to look at Arda through their eyes. Thanks for reviewing! | |
