Stirrings of Shadow  by Fiondil 6 Review(s)

Perhaps not the best place to answer, but I can't think of a better one. Thank you for allowing me to add the story to my reading rec list - let's hope it will bring around new readers. New readers are always good. Now I'll go and read the prequel, too. *g*

(BTW, the Valar had nothing to do with my decision re: Church. Sorry if I wasn't clear in that point. What I meant was that their attitude as you describe them reminded me why I made that decision - because of people with similar attitudes. At least your Valar have awesome powers and beautiful clothes. I can practically see the latter when reading your stuff. ;)

Author Reply: No problem, Soledad. I'm flattered that you would want to put this story on your rec list. It will be interesting to see if I do get any new readers after all this time. Hope you enjoy the prequel. It's a bit tongue-in-cheek and definitely a h/c story. As for the Valar... I rather like them myself, especially their clothes. *grin* Glad that my descriptions are vivid enough for you to see them. Thanks for commenting.

this is great! write faster! you do splendid stuff. please keep on going, I can't wait for the next chapter. if you're wondering, yes i also liked several of your other stories & await updates to Elf Interrupted part 2 with great impatience also. thanks for writing. yes i'm being very inconsistent about capital letters despite being a grammar nut because i'm feeling lazy.

small grammatical nitpick because I can't help myself: in a couple places, you have it's = it is (with apostrophe) where you needed its = possessive (no apostrophe, belonging to it) and vice versa. Probably oversight on your part.

Author Reply: Hi Rick. Thanks for your encouragement. I hope to write a little faster with this story as we are actually coming towards the end anyway. As for the it's vs. its thing... I'm aware of it. Unfortunately my beta-reader, being blind, can't differentiate between them so I will be going back over the story in its entirety and making the corrections. I do wish though that if people find such errors they do more than tell me they've found them but actually tell me *where* in the story the errors can be found so I can correct them immediately. That would be most helpful. Thanks for letting me know, though, how much you've been enjoying this story and my other stories. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the chapter Fiondi, Now I'm gonna sit on the edge of my seat since you left with a cliffy! I love the elves in this story and the way you present them, they are so very magical in a way, Great chapter Hugs the Imp

Author Reply: Hi elflingimp. You really need to pay attention to where you post your reviews. Twice you've left reviews of chapters in the Character List chapter and I've had to go hunting for them. *grin* I'm glad you liked this chapter at any rate. And I'm glad you love the elves in this story and how I present them. In their interactions with the Mortals I've tried to show that they are indeed 'magical' and not just humans with pointy ears. Thanks for reviewing (wherever you leave it). I really appreciate it.

I know I don't comment on your stories to often Fiondil but I had to on this chapter, it was just beautiful! I almost started crying, I don't think you could have done any better, also this is my favorite story of all those you are writing. Hugs Deb the Imp

Author Reply: Except you've posted it to the wrong chapter. lol However, I appreciate you taking the time to tell me how much you enjoyed this latest chapter. I'm glad this is you favorite of all my stories. The others are very popular but it's nice to know that people appreciate this one as well. Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate it.

Once again, you surpass yourself! I did like the 'story' of Gilhael's adventures, and Theoden's opinion on it was especially intriguing. Your stories always make me smile!


Author Reply: Thanks Sorrel, but don't think this is the end of the story because it isn't. I have the Character List up because many other readers were clamouring for it so they could keep straight who was who among the Rohirrim, since many characters have similar sounding and looking names and it was hard for some readers to keep them straight. So, keep tuned... there's more to come.

Aw, I thought you were going to resolve the mystery of ch. 29! (Though I can't be too disappointed, as this character list will be helpful to have.)

P.S. Arathorion or Arathornion?

Author Reply: Oops! My bad. Thanks for pointing out the misspelling. Sorry about that. You'll just have a little longer to wait before the mystery is solved (if it ever is). Meanwhile, you can always leave a review for Chapter 29 while you're waiting. *grin*
