| please update soon. I'm anxious to know how would this story finish. Author Reply: Believe it or not, the next chapter is actually halfway done. So it shouldn't be *too* long before we see an update! | |

| loving the story i thought u had given up on the story as it was a long time beofre u updated.Aragorn's, Eomer and Arwen i went to see more of them as i love that part of the story.Keep up the good work and hope u update soon plez Author Reply: No, I certainly hadn't given up on this story. Updates might take a long time, but I've invested too much into these things to give up on them now. There are rather lengthy sections already written out that have yet to appear, and I need to work them in. So hang in there. I'm not the fastest writer, but I do get around to things eventually! | |

| Great chapter, Thundera! I know you are away, but I am going to leave a review anyway-a nice treat for when you return. That was a very funny chapter. Elfwine is absolutely adorable. He acts much older, though, than his nine years of age. Perhaps his parentage is a factor? It will be interesting to read about his persuasion of the healers. Poor thing, it will be a bit of a shock once he realizes what had happened to his father. Have I said how happy I am that Imrahil found Merry? Once Merry recovers he should be very grateful to the Prince of Dol Amroth. I thought the pounding he heard on the wall was his headache-but apparently it was Legolas! And there's another problem. Those two wandering the passageways seperately is not a good idea, as Gimli belatedly realized. I wonder who will win the contest? I am guessing that neither shall, and Aragorn will discover where his son had been all day after all. I hope you enjoy(ed) your well deserved vacation! Keep writing and I can't wait for an update! Author Reply: Many thanks for the treat to return to. Loved it! Ah, Elfwine. Yes, I realized about halfway through writing the chapter that I'd made him sound much older than nine, but he is the crown-prince and it's my belief that the Rohirrim learn to grow up quickly. On the subject of Legolas and Gimli, your prediction of the outcome of their contest is dead on. Aragorn's involvement, though...well, let's just say that he's going to have other things to worry about. Things that aren't even related to Eomer and Arwen. | |

| I have a document containing the most amusing quotes that I have ever read in fanfiction saved to both my school and home computers. This story has by far the most entries on the list. I love you, Thundera-sama. The brilliance of your brain is quite blinding. One thing in particular that I admire? Many fics portray Gimli as becoming more elvish. You portray Legolas as becoming more dwarvish. I dearly love this. Author Reply: *beams* Really? That makes me warm and tingly all over. I got into your quote list. Yea! I actually keep a quote list of my own for amusing quotes from movies, tv, novels, and fanfiction, so to end up on someone else's is quite an honor. Thank you! As for Legolas becoming dwarvish, it struck me as a natural step. Gimli had to adapt in order to become friends with Legolas, and it stands to reason that the reverse was also true. | |

| Heehee! I love this story, because it makes me laugh in a subtle way - not like a great honking over-blown parody, if you see what I mean? So between Merry's drunken meanderings and the fight between Gimli and Legolas, I've been quietly chuckling away. Hooray for new chapters! I can feasibly see both Legolas becoming utterly lost, and him reaching the nursery before Gimli. And standing there like a bemused cat that just got into the cream. Hehehe. I want to see what Aragorm will make of Elfwine. And what Elfwine will make of his father. Heehee! (Have a nice holiday!) Author Reply: Thank you so much for your compliments about the type of humor. There are plenty of parodies out there and some of them are outlandishly funny (Bryn, CNell, Cassie, and Kielle come to mind as excellent parody writers) but to my mind, the genre is slightly overdone. And some of the parodies are just inane. So I wanted to try a more realistic kind of humor. It's exagerated a bit, I'll give you that, but I really wanted something that could almost fit into canon if one gave it a good push. As for Legolas and Gimli, the outcome of their little race might surprise you. I know it surprised me when I was still working out the story's outline. And Elfwine still has a ways to go before he ever reaches the Houses of Healing. | |

| Oh, Thundera, this is just hilarious! How do you keep all the threads straight? I'm having a hard time -- oh, wait, maybe it's the fumes from the Elven wine? LOL! And Eowyn with the Rider holding the gelding tool... still grinning from that! Hope all is well with you, and thanks for such a funny story! - Barbara Author Reply: The threads are kept straight through means of a very large, very strict outline. Otherwise this story would go completely nuts. Well, not that it isn't already, but you get my meaning... Anyway, keep away from that elven wine. You'll want to be awake for what's coming next. Thanks for the review! | |
