| So clever and funny! Aren't you the seaky, perceptive, elfling, though. They are BOTH doing this. Each thinks it's his alone. Sooo good. | |

| This is lovely, LKK! You said a lot in 200 words. I like the idea of secret places, always had one myself as a child and sometimes still need one (and I am not a twin, but siblings were enough!). I also like the fact that they both likely had the same place! I wonder if one day they ran into each other there and if they did, could they laugh about it? Author Reply: I'm glad you liked it, Nilmandra. I try to make every word allowed work as hard as possible since I have so few to use. :) When the twins told me about the secret place, I asked them if they ever met. I got the feeling that they did, but that it wasn't a happy occasion. They still didn't want to talk about it even as adults. I'm going to have to ask Elrond and Celebrian if they know what happened. Thanks for leaving a review. Reviews are so encouraging. :) | |

| I think it is a splendid response to the challenge. :-D I like Elrohir's spot. It sounds quite cozy and private -- a terrific place to spend a lazy summer day. Author Reply: I'm glad you liked it, Karri. I think the spot would be a lovely place to spend a quiet summer afternoon. I'm glad I took on the challenge even though I said that I wasn't going to. This one was fun to work out. Thanks for the inspiration *and* the review! | |

| Don't worry, LKK - it's allowed to be double, it's a twin drabble. I like this, that they both sometimes want to be one. I'm quite sure they would sometimes feel like that. And even when they want to be different, they're the same - and even have the same Secret Place. What happens when they meet? Jay Author Reply: A double drabble for the twins! You're right; it's very appropriate. :) When the twins told me about their spot, I asked them what happened when they met. They hemmed and hawed and evaded the question. I'm going to have to seek out Elrond or Celebrian and see if they know what happened. Thanks for leaving me a note! Now, it's your turn to drabble. | |

| I liked this a LOT! I am normally a little puzzled by why one would write a drabble, but I thought this piece benefitted from fitting in the 200 word limit because it hints at so much more than it says. I could see Elrohis taking troll-steps. I could understand why he might want to be here with the stone nana who is his alone (he thinks). Author Reply: I like writing drabbles because I like the challenge of writing in miniature. My ultimate desire is to write the literary equivalent of a Faberge egg -- a piece of beauty whose art is all the remarkable for its lack of size. So whenever I have an idea that won't grow up, I try to make it a drabble. This one is like a teenage drabble. It tried to grow up, but just never got big enough. It ended up being a double drabble. LOL I'm glad you like it, daw. The hinting at was what I was going for with phrases like Troll-Elrohir steps. Thank you so much for leaving a review. :) | |
