| Hello dear Celeritas, Oh wow! I got a mention!! (Skips happily around the living room under the influence of an over-inflated ego). Thank you so much for writing such a lovely story! I see that you're writing a sequel and hope to read of the adult (or almost adult) Kira during happier times. Looking forward to it!! M ;) Author Reply: I've also got some drabbles up on the GFIC comm to try to get myself back in Kira mode a little bit more. Tentative start date is Gondorian New Year. | |

| Lovely story. Sad in a way. But thank you for sharing. :-) Beautiful writing style. Author Reply: Yeah, I'm afraid that a lot of my writing is sad in a way, but that's often in following Tolkien's own themes. We all want to go back to the Third Age but we can't. But thank you for reading and reviewing, and I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it! | |

| I meant to mention that your use of The Sea Bell was very clever! And your explanation is quite plausible. I don't think there will be a problem in quoting it. I often quote JRRT's poetry (and others occasionally) in my stories, most notably in "Life of a Bard". As long as attribution is given, I don't think it matters. And I am glad if you think my rambling reviews were of encouragement to you. I sometimes think I blather on a bit too much. But I love "talking" about the stories I read--it's one of the major perks of fanfic. Author Reply: Well, I'm glad you thought it was! I've always hoped that Frodo actually wrote that poem, and who wouldn't want a desk with a secret compartment, anyway?... There is no such thing as blathering too much when it comes to talking about my writing (as I mentioned in Ye Eljay I'm thinking of putting up some excerpts of the HUGE conversations I had with my beta about it, all done from a reader's perspective). I love hearing what people think about it, not just in the gut reactionary sense but in terms of larger themes, what they think is going to happen next, why they think a certain character acts in a certain way, symbolism, parallels, etc., etc. Bonus points if they make me think about my own stuff in a way I haven't thought about it before. All quite self-centered, I know, but there you have it. | |
