| That was a really good story lilpippin! I just want to find something out though, did Elrond eat ALL of that food? If he did, could you write what happened?Thanks! Silvertree | |

| LOL!!! Poor Elrond. Reminds me of Thanksgiving dinner. You're bursting to full already and there's still one more meal to go. Glad to see things have been mended between Estel, the twins and their Glorfy. This has been a wonderful read. Keep it up!! Author Reply: I'm so glad you enjoyed this story! Yup everything is okay now that Estel is comfortable around Glor. And Elrond... I don't think he will be starving himself any time soon.*grins* | |

| Very nice story about aragorn as a child being raised by Elrond... He has lost his mother,but they seem to love him dearly. A bundle of energy.... Great job... Author Reply: Just to clear it up, Gilraen has not died yet in this point in time in LotR. My story she does... *mourns Gilraen for a few seconds* Estel seems to be able to capture the hearts of people very quickly... but I pity Glorfindel! The poor guy's all upset! Estel does seem to have a lot of energy. Anyway.. thanks for reviewing! | |

| Hi. Don't worry about your chapter length: everyone's writing style is different. I am not a horse person, but I think you should talk to someone who is, or read up on horses -- maybe beginning with an encyclopedia article or an introductory book for children (both are painless ways to learn basic info about a new topic). Horses and ponies are different animals: same basic shape, but different sizes (and almost certainly other differences I'm not aware of). So a young horse would not be called a pony (there are various terms for young horses, but I'm not going to expose my ignorance by citing a word which refers to a young horse at the wrong age -- and I think the animal's gender matters too!). Children who learn to ride at an early age are usually started on ponies because the animal's size is a better fit for such a small child (just as hobbits ride ponies because horses are too large for them). And neither ponies nor horses are all the same size: there are larger and smaller ones, just as there are taller and shorter humans. Also, this would *not* be Glorfindel's horse Asfaloth, because horses only live to about age 30, and usually aren't ridden for the last few years of their lives. Remember that it is still more than 80 years from the time of your story until FotR: so this horse's name probably shouldn't be Asfaloth, unless Glorfindel makes a point of repeating names (or whomever names horses at Rivendell). Can't help you with the Sindarin, but there'll be someone else who can. Good luck. Author Reply: Long review. About that constant change between horse and pony, I used the wrong document. I had fixed that once before. I'll make sure that I fix the horse/pony changes after I type this. After I wrote the story I realized that Asfolath would not be the same horse. Unfortunately, I'm not very a creative person when it comes to horse names, because I am also not a horse person. Is there anything you recommend? If not then Glorfindel names his horses the same thing. *wink* My friend is one of those "horse-people" and she supported your "ride ponies when younger... horses when older" comment. I am either going to say that Estel is an over-achiever or change Asfolath and Glorroh into a pony. Do you know what a pony might be used for in Imladris? Supplies maybe? Thanks for all your help. Thanks for reviewiing. | |

| Are you aware that Aragorn's father was just a ranger and not king of Gondor? Author Reply: Yes I was aware of that! I had no idea that that was what I wrote, thanks a lot for pointing that out. *goes to fix it* Thanks for reviewing. | |

| Hi Lilpippin, Good beginning. I know a lot of people have done "young" estel stories but I alway enjoy other people's take on it. One suggestion would be to just double check your sentences, there were a few that I had to read a couple of times to get the meaning. (take this suggestion with a grain of salt, as I am definitely not a language whiz.) I look forward to more, UPDATE SOON!! Author Reply: Thanks.I'll be sure to take a look at that in the future. Its probably because this was my first story and I was still trying to see what worked with my writing style. As I said before, "shaky". Thanks for reviewing! | |
