LOL!!!

That was very clever of Gimli!

I liked the names you, or better Legolas, gave the dwarf, especially "hairy cave-lover" ;-)

And the title is just perfect!


Author Reply: Hello Andrea,

He is a clever so-and-so, our Gimli! And Legolas does have a nice turn of phrase - something that will come in handy when he makes that public apology ...

*snorts*

The title's a bit cheeky (which appealed to me, naturally).'Arch(ery) Rivals' would have worked too, I suppose, but I'm happy you liked the final choice :o)

Thanks for R & R-ing, m'dear,

M :)

Sneaky dwarf! Love the title of this new series, my cousin, and the reason for the title. Now off to more...

Namarie, God bless, Your happy bloom :)

Author Reply: Hello bloomster,

this is the first in my never-ending quest to produce the perfect drabble. I just can't seem to whittle the blasted fics down to that magic 100 without losing something I like. The urge to elaborate just a bit, or explain why so-and-so is doing what, or where they are and why, is too overpowering.

In short, I can't master the blasted drabble.

But rather than abandon what has been started ('cos there might be something in it that tickles my fancy), I'm just making them short ficlets instead. Hopefully, the more I post, the nearer I'll get to that elusive 100 mark. And if I'm successful, I'll finish the series off with a true drabble.

Hooray!

That's the plan anyway ...

Gimli was a bit sneaky - but Legolas deserved it (sniggers).

Thanks for R & R-ing, my flower,

Cousin Mo x

I absolutely love this! I so hope Aragorn and the twins were there to hear the apology. I do love Legolas, but this is just too good.

Author Reply: Hello UTfrog!

LOL! Oh, I would love to have been a fly on the wall for that apology, too. Poor, poor Legolas. Still, do not despair - he may have his revenge yet, in which case: poor, poor Gimli!

Thanks for R & R-ing,

M :)

Score one for "the hairy creature"! I'm all a-grin.

Author Reply: Hello shirebound,

*grin* 1-0 to Gimli indeed. I'm sure Legolas won't let that score stand for too long, though!

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for R & R-ing, m'dear,

M :)

Aha! Clever Gimli!

Author Reply: Hello Larner,

He is, isn't he? Legolas will be a lot more cautious in his wagers with the dwarf from now on ...

Thanks for R & R-ing,

M :)
