Fantastic! Thandir and Eluwen were a lovely addition and the adventure was wonderfully written :3

Dear Fiondil I have just reread this story.Iam wondering when you get time, will you do a story about Celeborn,Elrond and Amroth helping the trees to heal?
Maybe tell the story of what happened at Eryn Dîn.I have to admit Once again you have me curious.LOl Galathil


Author Reply: Hi Galathil. That story was written some time ago. You can find it in my Fiondil's Tapestry collection of short stories: Chapter 22: SILENT: iDhîn i-Gelaidh. Happy reading!

Another great story, Fiondil.

Well, it seems that those two were a little too immature for such a journey! Luckily Erestor seemed to guess that something would go wrong.

I don't know why, but one of the funniest details was Elemmacil's very bad day. First he hears that his king's foster father has arrived in the city and fainted, then elves take command of a guesthouse, then they leave suddenly and leave poor Elemmacil behind without telling him anything. I wonder how he did explain it all to Valandil!

I really liked when the twins were in Azaghâl-dûm, it made an interesting scene. But I wonder if the scouts got their hazard pay...

Thank you for writing this, I really enjoyed it.

Author Reply: Hello. You're very welcome. I'm so glad you enjoyed this little story, which I really wrote as a lark without any real serious intent to it. This is actually mentioned in my earlier story "Tâd Edhil a Firion", though no details are given. People kept asking me what happened with the Twins when they tried to go overmountain to Lórien on their own, and so this story came about.

I thought the scene with Elemmacil rather amusing myself, especially with Glorfindel going all Balrog-Slayer on everyone. *grin* And I enjoyed writing about Azagâl-dûm as well. That was something of a challenge.

As for the scouts getting hazard pay.... *sly wink*

Anyway, thanks for reading and letting me know how much you enjoyed this story. I'm always happy to know when someone finds one of my older stories.

. . . Duly noted. ;p

Will this situation EVER be addressed though with Elladan? o-o

Also, (I am already asking you a million questions, a few more will not hurt :3) have you ever considered doing a story about AFTER Arda's end? Give Legolas and Aragorn their brotherhood back, Arwen back to her mother, and the ramifications between the Elves, Human, etc? Especially with poor Finrod and how he misses "his humans"? And, dangit, I want that prophecy you mentioned in your tapestry shots to come true! Especially with Turin. *grins* I can never find any good stories about him. . .

(I mentioned the inquisitiveness right? ^_-)

Your writing style is awesome, you are one of the VERY few authors that I keep coming back to; that is why I keep pestering you to write more! *grins* your take on these certain subjects would be awesome to read! And I am sorry for pestering you with questions and the like. I am afraid the boredom of my summer is getting the best of me. . .-_-;;

And thank you for always replying to reviews. While it is always nice to get review for a story, its another thing when the author actually replies back in appreciation. :)



Author Reply: I have no idea if the incident with Elladan will ever find its way on paper, so to speak. It might just end up being what another author calls a "Red Slipper". He takes it from the original Sherlock Holmes stories where often Dr. Watson begins a narrative by saying something like "I was just finishing my notes on the notorious Case of the Red Slipper when....". We never learn about that particular case, yet the mention of it gives a sort of pseudo-historical depth to the Holmesian universe. The same is true with my stories. I often pepper them with "red slippers". Tolkien did something similar, adding historical depth to Middle-earth without actually elucidating what those tales are about.

At the moment I have no plans to write a "Post-Arda" type story though the idea is intriguing. I fear though that such a story might devolve into something soppy if not sickeningly sugary and fluffy. But one never knows where the Muse will lead one....

I'm glad you like my writing and enjoy my stories. Thank you. And you must really be bored considering summer hasn't officially started yet! *lol*

As for answering reviews.... some people (who will remain nameless) accuse me of 'living for reviews', but the truth is I feel as an author I owe it to any reader who takes the time to leave a review to answer as quickly as possible. To me it's merely a courtesy. The same with posting on a regular (i.e. weekly) basis (if possible). Writers who only update once a month or once a year are really annoying when you as the reader are waiting anxiously for the next update. And then, the interval between updates is so long you have to stop and re-read all or parts of the story again just to remind yourself what happened previously! Sometimes real life does get in the way, but I think for some writers they use it as an excuse instead of applying themselves to their craft.

If you want to pester me, be my guest. Perhaps though, it would be easier on us both if you were to send me a PM.

And the end! :)

Well done, I enjoyed reading this story-I started it a long time ago but then left off because of issues, but I finally got to finish it! ...At 2 am...:3

Will this "great wrong" ever be discussed further?

Woohoo! Go Celeborn! He totally rocked that part; I have to admit that I was half-expecting Galadriel to step in and take charge but I was really glad that Celeborn got the chance to show off his spiffy powers. *grins*

Poor, poor Erestor! Trying to a right then that blows up. .. :(

May more inspiration be blessed upon you for future writing! :0)

Author Reply: Thanks, MP. I'm glad you enjoyed this story. In my "Tapestry" series I tell the story of the Silent Wood and what became of it. The title is "SILENT: iDhîn i-Gelaidh" (Chapter 21).

I'm glad you liked Celeborn in this. I think he is a highly underrated Elf and I was happy to showcase his powers here.

("Who —?" Eluwen began, a frisson of fear running down her spine. She had never seen Thandir in the throes of a vision before though he had told her he sometimes experienced them.

But Thandir shook his head, the vision fading. "I do not know." He gave Eluwen a searching look, his expression sober. "You know what this means, don’t you?" )

No, I don't know! GAH! Watch, its something simple- but since its past 2 am right now, I am not really in the "thinking" mode. . .>_>

Aw, poor twins. :)

Author Reply: The answer to that is in the final sentence of that scene.... 'For as long as Arda endured, they could never speak of this to anyone.' What Thandir witnessed at the pool with Elladan has to remain their secret because Elladan himself will never speak about the experience or the pool with the oak tree to anyone except to one person and only because need will drive him to do so. Does that help? *grin*

This was realy fun to read. I especially loved the dwarves, they don't get a chance to have "fun" with elves like this often enough LOL! I loved all the little touches, like the clothes they were given. I could just imagine some little bearded dwarf girls hurriedly sewing cloaks together! And Thekki.."Methinks the name was something like Elroth or Elmond or..." made me laugh out loud. The characters of Eluwen and Thandir are great too, all through the story. I especially loved the poor ellyth's mad dash to Lorien, and I wondered who she'd run over, Haldir? And why doesn't it surprise me that Galadriel wears a mail shirt under her tunic? *g* All very well done!

Author Reply: Thanks, Kestrel. I'm glad you enjoyed this tale. I had lots of fun writing it, as you probably can guess. *g*
