| sorry I'm so late in reviewing, this week turned out ot be busier than i thought it'd be...stupid English homework! ahh...but we must learn to write brilliantly cruel stories of our own, now musn't we precious? Maybe not so cruel, but then it may not attract readers...damn! *sigh* ppl only like to see Tolkien's beloved characters suffer... well, let me start by saying "agh" < well, next chapter!!!!! *~SuGaR~* | |

| Hey!!!! You asked me what my friend´s think about your story. And my answer is: they think that it is brilliant. One of my friends who is big fan of Legolas (like me) is begging me to do more translations. They all think that your writing are intresting and the story is excating. Note from my mother: Hi, I was totally kidding - I love to tease my teenage daughter.. and the word porn isn´t considered here as bad as in States. You should have heard the "aaahhh" from three teenage girls - when Legolas was first time on the screen in Return of the King. My daughter and her friends are big fans on Lord of the Rings movies and also any story they get in their hands. And I´m glad because I have always considered reading important. Greetings from your finnish reader! Elf rules and so does Ents. Same in finnish: Terveiset sinun suomalaiselta lukijaltasi! Haltijat ovat huippuja kuten myös Entit. My home towns website´s adress is http://www.kouvola.fi/ P.S. Have you read Eoin Colfer´s Artemis Fowl -books? Author Reply: Thank your friends for me. I'm very honored that they like my story. Also, thank your mother for her note. I'm afraid I have not only not read the Artemis Fowl books, but I have never heard of them. Artemis is Greek. Are the books connected to Greek mythology? | |

| OOOH, i really like this Chapter!!!!! Glorfindel is funny: A small smile touched Glorfindel’s lips. “Legolas and I will have to compare notes, when he recovers.” i love that part. Greeting´s: Your Finnish reader ;) (My mother thinks that this was porn ... all that undressing - well my mother was just gidding me... like she allways do) I´ve translated your writings - (with help of my mother (she can also swedish, german and russian laguages - and a little bit Italian and she is also wisard with computers) to my friends they don´t read english as well as I - I´ve read half of latest Harry Potter - book , the first half my mother translated to me. Elfs rules.... Author Reply: I'm glad you liked this chapter. It wasn't easy making the starting of a campfire and putting on splints interesting reading. I hope your mother was just kidding with you. You can tell her that this is most definitely NOT porn in any fashion. If it was, I'd have described the undressing part (and beyond) in detail. It is just a story about friendship, involving hurt/comfort. I don't write porn or even slash (same sex romance). I hate those kinds of stories to be honest. I wanted a bit of humor with Glorfindel. I thought the cooking part would do that. Glad you liked it. I congratulate your mother on her multi-lingual achievement. That is quite an accomplishment. Since you are translating my story, are your friends reading it, too? I'd love for you to tell me what they think of it. It won't hurt my feelings, if any of them don't like it. I realize that not everyone will. I should be updating again tomorrow afternoon (Friday US time). | |

| Ha ha! The 100th review! Wheee! Anyway; P.S. My POOR x 100,000,000,000 (250 x pi x sqaure root of 5,410,236,875) BABY! Author Reply: I'm short on time right now, but I'll answer your first review a little later. Thanks for the 100th review. That is very, very nice. I love it. I didn't realize, when I told you earlier to multiply the "poors", that I was creating a mathematical monster. You'll have to go way beyond any known math in the universe before this story is finished, if you keep that going, because This will be a much longer story. :o) | |

| Ack! You keep doing this cliff hanger thingy on me! At least the manner of endings on your chapters aren't as unpredictable as the story! ;-) //He knew he would never win any contests with his cooking, but he didn’t really think anyone would be complaining---too much.// Hee hee! That made me laugh. It would appear that the momentary speechlessness of the twins will indeed be momentary. I wonder, what happened to the rabbit Legolas shot? Did somebody pick that up or anything? I can't remember. It would make a slightly ironic supper. ;-) Glorfindel to the rescue! It wouldn't do to have Thranduil keeling over from muscle stiffness, now would it? //"Legolas and I will have to compare notes, when he recovers."// lol. That was a good one too. Interesting procedure with the broken bones. Is that really the way they do it? I wouldn't know. I stray away from writing about treatments because I'd be completely wrong 120% of the time. (Yes, I've come near to failing Algebra...I only haven't because it's virtually impossible to fail a subject when you're homeschooled!) It interests me to read about how these kind of remedial things are done. Poor Thranduil. I don't have too much inside knowledge when it comes to paternal feelings ;-), but I imagine it must be really hard. I really wouldn't know though, because I enjoy it when Legolas is hurt. (Not to mention that I'm a girl!) ;-) Once again, that's not a particularly nice way to end the chapter. *pouts* *quits pouting when she realizes that no one is paying attention* *sigh* Goodness, who knew that my talent for rambling would come in handy someday? I only have a few friends who can really actually tolerate me, and they're really good friends because they ramble too. (Except when it comes to guys...most of the ones I know don't ramble too much, but I still manage to fall for a couple of them!) ;-) *sighs and contemplates the difficulties of adolescence* More please! Author Reply: I think cliffhangers are fun. Besides, they keep the readers wanting more---hopefully. I have no idea if Glorfindel really knows how to cook, but I wanted to add another dimension to his character, so I thought that his lack of cooking skills would do that and add a bit of humor at the same time. In my own mind, when I thought of it later, I pictured Mordraug taking it off and having it for dinner. Why waste a perfectly good rabbit that someone else has already killed for you? When I wrote this chapter, I was actually afraid everyone would get bored reading it. But, then I thought that I had gone into such detail about how Legolas had gotten into that condition, I needed to spend some time showing how h he was tended to. Just saying "Elrond splinted his broken bones," seemed a bit of a cop-out. I also thought that if the readers did get bored, they would at least learn how to start a campfire and splint bones in the extremities. Yes, that is the way both are done. Now, aren't you doubly glad you're reading this story? Isn't it sad that when we love someone in fiction, we want to hurt them? I think it has to do with the strong emotions involved. The character becomes the center of attention with everyone around giving so much love and concern to him/her. Revenge is usually the only reason to hurt a villain, and while that is satisfying, it doesn't really bring out the caregiver feelings in us. You will always get more until you see the word ~End~. | |

| At least they intended to heal the broken bones. Back to Rivendell, hope that nothing more wrong will happen to my fav elf. I still love what I read, just keep them coming, Keep up the good work, I still love it and enjoy it. Sivan Author Reply: Yes, they tended to Legolas's broken bones. I didn't want to forget about that or just skip over it. I felt it was important to show how it was done. Things in Rivendell, once they get there, won't go quite as smoothly as you are probably hoping it will. I can say no more. :o) I'm glad you still love the story. More soon. | |
