| I am mesmerized by the plot and characters of your story. Thank you | |

| Oh, I do like this! It's nice to see Thranduil, Elrond and Celeborn trying to agree on anything :) It must have been a bit like this during the White Council meetings, except that I bet Galadriel didn't have the patience to sit them out for the sake of unity. You're absolutely right - they have to have something to do now, and it's going to take years (if ever) of working together before they forget their differences. You're making me very curious though, as to what did happen to Thranduil's wife! It's getting embarrassing - this business of me asking if I can put everything you write on my website, but I must do it again, as this it such a great series. Do make it a long story if you can - I'd love to know what happens next. And can I please put this on the website? Author Reply: Yes, of course you can put it on your website - although I can make no guarantees about how long or interesting it will turn out. This is probably the first thing I'm trying where I can't hold the whole thing in my head in one go, and that could spell disaster. I don't know how long Galadriel will be able to keep her temper - and Mrs. Thranduil might well feature in some way. Afraid I'm still rather woolly over some of the threads. | |

| Oh, the elven lords can still snipe at each other! Go Glorfindel! He is free and unattached and can go off on adventures. I want to go with. I am sure I could add soem value. This is exciting to think about, with the elves of middle-earth, long wearied and in need of healing, to find their own place in the Undying Lands. I like your Celeborn and Galadriel more and more, too. Author Reply: I'm sure you could add value to Glorfindel's trip, too. He's feeling very smug at being the one to get to go and have fun. They could do with taking some ellyth. I have trouble with the idea of Valinor - all these elves turning up - what do they do? Where do they go? Who feeds them? Houses them? Where does the food come from? It's like 'happy ever after'. There must be something that comes next. The Middle Earth elves just wouldn't be happy, would they? Especially the likes of Thranduil, Celeborn and Galadriel. Elrond, Celebrian and Glorfindel might be more accommodating. They need their own place. I like C and G - I think they must be an amazing love story after all those millennia. Thank you for your kind words. I'll try to keep it going then. | |

| Oh yes, the beginning of a long fic. Lovely scene setting in this one, a bit of tension and a bit of romance and intrigue. Goody goody. Bring it on. PS: Your writing just gets better and better. Not a wasted word I love it. Rose Author Reply: Note the disbelieving blushes. I hope this will work out - it's all a bit foggy a little further down the line. (Plotting not my forte.) But they've all been saying they want to go! | |

| This was intriguing. As you might expect, I particularly enjoyed the characterization of Thranduil. He'd rather act than sit around planning? No! Who could have guessed? :-) Celeborn the Wise comes across nicely too. He handled everything very well. Author Reply: Intriguing? Thranduil's not one to go for consensus, is he? Council meetings are probably marginally more tolerable if you can put your foot down. (Though only marginally.) Good for Celeborn - an elf with enough nerve to hold this together. I quite want to develop this and take the wagon train west - but I'm not sure if I can hack the sustained story telling. (Too much organisation and memory required.) | |
