A Few Leaves In The Forest  by Jay of Lasgalen 5 Review(s)

I always hated that part of the movie where Haldir died! Thanks for giving me a new ending.

Author Reply: Haldir should never have been at Helm's Deep in the first place (although I admit I loved that scene). But at least I could save him.

That was good, and thanks for explaining the game thing. However, I think you based it too much on the movie, so that it seems as if you're just glossing over what happened, with no detail really. You jump from dialogue and lots of detail to skimming over the events. Not a very effective style. But good fic, nonetheless.

Author Reply: I intend to rewrite most of this story, and put in far more of my own stuff. In the meantime, I've added an epilogue which is a mixture of movie, book and Jay!

Hooray! Thank you. I will never forgive PJ for Helms Deep and what he did there. You have made it right.

Author Reply: I have to admit, I loved the scene when the elves arrived at Helm's Deep, but Haldir should never have died there! If PJ can change what happened, then so can I.

*does a little dance cause she guessed correctly*

Wonderful job! I really enjoyed reading this today! Just the thing for my little lunch break! Thanks for sharing.

God bless!
Lady Larien.

P.S. I'll be back later to read more of your stuff!

Author Reply: I hope you enjoy the other stories as much - the rest are far more book-based, but my Legolas bears a striking resemblance to the one in the film! I also explore all the areas Tolkien *didn't* tell us, such as Legolas' mother. (Much angst in 'Telparian')

I'm curious - how did you come across the story? Many thanks for the lovely reviews!

Oh, I like your ending so much better, too bad Peter Jackson didn't get a clue. Very nicely written, thank you.

Author Reply: A very belated reply, sorry about that. It was a long time after I first got your review that I realised I *could* reply - and I forgot.

Yes, I like this ending better too! Maybe in the EE Haldir will live (but I somehow doubt it). Many, many thanks for your comments, and apologies again for not replying.
