| It's interesting to see a story where the dwarves have a rich culture and history of their own. These dwarves are both proud and practical; it's nice to see that not everyone agrees that the expedition to Moria is a good thing, and everyone has their own reasons to go on the journey. If I may ask, how much this is edited? I have read this long ago, so are the earlier chapters still the same or should they be read again to understand the future chapters? Author Reply: Thank you, I'm really glad that you like the story. In fact, the earlier chapters have already been edited, I was just hesitating if it made any sense to cut out huge chunks of further ones - in the end, I decided to do it anyway, as I basically had to remove a plot aspect and despite that the story itself would still make sense. Or so I hope. You can read the unedited version on FF.Net, if you want. It has the same rating, no smut whatsoever, only some aspects of Dwarven culture that wouldn't fit with the rules of this archive. I'm Soledad over there, too. | |

| This is a whopper of a story. Please finish it. Barvi's Ring is brilliant. Is there a basis in Lore for Thrandruil being Thing's nephew? As I read it it occurred to me that PJ might want to make a movie of this! Author Reply: Why, thank you, I'm glad you like the story, though I won't allow PJ anywhere near it - I wouldn't recognize either the plot or the characters afterwards. Although the visuals would be probably gorgeous. *g* Re: Thranduil. The only somewhat firm canon consensus is, bases on a chapter of the Unfinished Tales IIRC, that the Sindarin Princes who chose to live among the woodland folk were related to Celeborn. The degree of that relation is uncertain, as there are at least three different versions of origins Tolkien came up with for Celeborn, one of them being that he was the grandson of Elmö, the youngest brother of Olwë and Thingol. I added Oropher as the other one of Elmö's sons, and several fanfic authors seem to agree with that theory, but it is by no way certain. | |

| If we live long enough to finish some of them! How well I know this! I hope Floi finds this book truly edifying. Author Reply: We'll know once I had the book written. ;)) | |
