| Like in your previous story, the research is spot on, I absolutely love it! I'm probably going to repeat it in every single story you post. ^^ I really must ask, where do you find your translations, or where did you learn so much about Elvish? Myself being an aspiring fanfiction writer, I'm really interested in learning the languages. Keep up the good work! Author Reply: Ardalambion is the best site if you want to know more about Tolkien's languages. It also has downloadable dictionaries too. | |

| Good advice. As Glorfindel might also have told the youth but had not as yet, those who have not loved have not lived, either, no matter how long it might be they dwell upon the earth. (BTW--whom is used in the objective tense, while who is used when it is the subject of the sentence. With whom will you go to the dance? Who is calling now? Watch out! The latent grammar teacher is getting loose in me!) Author Reply: Thank you! I actually know how to use ‘who’ and ‘whom’ (pronouns with subjective and objective forms are a leftover from Anglo-Saxon that are slowly fading from common usage and I sometime like to imagine how odd English will sound if it one day losses words like ‘him’ and ‘her’). However, the speech system I use to write with isn’t able to hear the distinction half the time (maybe my California accent throws it off?) or confuses one for the other (it also hilariously misunderstands most Elvish word despite all the times I’ve tried to train it). Unfortunately I tend to miss my grammar mistakes when I self-edit and my beta reader’s (a.k.a. my long-suffering husband) strong suit is math not English… hence all the errors in my stories that drive me crazy. | |

| So Estel dyed Glorfindel's hair purple with blackberry juice, did he? I'm surprised Glorfindel didn't get his revenge! =) Seriously, though, Glorfindel is indeed a wise elf. One may avoid pain by refusing to love, but one also misses so much of what makes life worthwhile by doing so. Glorfindel was wise to see that. Author Reply: Thank you! But…What makes you think Glorfindel didn’t get revenge? *evil grin* I should write about that sometime… | |

| Lovely, absolutely lovely. The quote given by Glorifindel fits him perfectly. I enjoyed the small window into Estel's life and how the 'pearls" of wisdom are intertwined with laughter Hope to read more. E Author Reply: Thank you! | |
