| Beautiful writing, beautiful characterization, beautiful story. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. | |

| Okay, I guess that fourth bottle of Dorwinion on my birthday (and it really *was* my birthday) (but, in the interests of full disclosure, it wasn't really Dorwinion) -- not to mention the assorted toasts with miruvor -- was a bit much to handle and still remain at least marginally grounded in reality... Fortunately, birthdays only occur once a year! Somewhat more seriously, I really enjoy reading these stories, and am desperately waiting to see what happens to Sulka, the elves, the hobbits, Gimli, the kids, the assorted royals, and that slimy no-brain villain of a husband. Stories seldom intrigue me enough to think about them between updates, but this one has certainly grabbed my attention. Please don't sentence us to re-reading the last two chapters (over and over and over) for much longer! | |

| "Give us that update to The Roses of Ilúvatar, Orophin's Dottir, my love," said Elena Tiriel, over the quaking author's shoulder. "Why?" said Orophin's Dottir. "Because it's my birthday, my love, and I wants it," said Elena Tiriel. "I don't care," said Orophin's Dottir. "I have given you a present already, more than I could afford. Eight chapters of The Jewels of His Existence, and twelve chapters of The Roses of Ilúvatar, not to mention two chapters of Author's Notes." "Oh, you did indeed, my love, but we wants more... we wants Haldir to have a romantic relationship with the mortal," said Elena Tiriel; and she caught Orophin's Dottir by the throat and strangled her, because the romantic setup looked so bright and beautiful. No one ever found out what had become of Orophin's Dottir; she was murdered far from the Drunken Elleth, and her body was cunningly hidden. But Elena Tiriel returned alone; and she found that no one could see her, when she was holed up writing her own continuation of Orophin's Dottir's shamefully abandoned story. She was very pleased, for she kept the continuation to herself, and thus did not have to keep within the decency guidelines of the Stories of Arda web site. | |

| I always like it when writers write about the value of the written word and what it can so for readers. And the relationship you are showing between Haldir and his brothers is one of my favorite parts of this story. But it looks as if you are also building an interesting relationship between Haldir and Sulka! I look forward to seeing where this goes. | |

| You have really good characterizations in this chapter. The interactions between Sulka and her husband and Sulka and Haldir. Very nice, very believable. The character of Adros is priceless. this was a very interesting chapter. It made me think. thanks, Lindorien | |
