| Little Dwarf | Reviewed Chapter: 6 on 6/29/2008 |
| Well, I *do* hope that Legolas excused himself and went back to planting trees or something! *smirk* I've never liked Legolas - he's not important in the book, and the movies... well, let's just say that they didn't make me like him better. I've nothing against Orlando Bloom - he was quite decent in "Troy" and I've yet to see "Pirates.." It's the hysterical fangirls for whom LotR means nothing more than a hot (???) blond that make me despise the character... But let's get back to your fic. I really enjoyed the vivid descriptions of the male anatomy... *giggles* I totally agree with the fact that "long wet black hair, now streaming with water, flows over his shoulders", but I don't like the "beardless" part... :)) I know it's not book-verse canon, but my predilection for real life guys with beards (or... for a certain real life guy who only shaves once a months or so) makes me imagine Faramir with facial hair too... Hey, I'm not asking for a long fluffy beard like Gandalf's, after all! :) Author Reply: LOTR fans will probably debate the beards/beardlessness of the Dunedain for longer than you and I will live, LOL. I just see Faramir as smooth-chested and not having to shave very often. I don't dislike Legolas, but I only write him in certain situations where the situation, or the characters, work well with him. I don't really care whether he was blond or not. If he existed now, I think he would be quietly amused about all the fangirly fuss over his movie avatar. (My favorite scene with Orlando Bloom in Troy was when he was hiding behind Eric Bana-as-Hector. I was so annoyed that Paris survived the sack of Troy while Hector didn't, unlike what was written in The Iliad. Of course, Paris annoys me on general principle. Still, he and Eric Bana-as-Hector looked cute in their matching turquoise outfits on the boat... | |

| Nekkid elves eh? Whatever next? Maybe it's just as well Gimli didn't join the party. However, if you could arrange for Eowyn (and Legolas) to be called away for an hour or so, I'd be delighted to join it myself. | |

| This is just delightful. How I would love to see Faramir in that fountain ! Author Reply: Thanx, Linda. Wasn't Eowyn just about the luckiest lady in Gondor (except maybe for Arwen, but then Aragorn is not about to prance around in the Fountain by the White Tree on a hot summer day)? Just thinking of a ringside seat to semi-nekkid Faramir and Legolas makes me want to...well, a cool drink comes to mind. Glad you liked the piece. | |

| What a lovely collection of ficlets! I think I like the last one best--drat, why aren't I Eowyn? heheh....and the piece with the twins is moving also...and the one with Faramir and the children, really nice! And the bit with Galadriel and her bridegroom--heheh--yessss!!! gotta love it! All are a delight...hope to see more soon! ~~~~{~@ Author Reply: Thanx for reading and reviewing, Armariel. Why aren't I Eowyn either? Sigh. That's why we have fanfiction. Galadriel and Celeborn must have celebrated a wedding night in the manner of most newlyweds; with expectations and discovery; though the psychic connection might have been amplified due to their being Elves and all. You'll see at least one more within the next week or so... | |

| Ah--how very sensual! And love how she has come to fully appreciate the beauty of her husband! Author Reply: Who wouldn't appreciate the beauty of that particular husband?! I'm glad you thought it sensual; I was aiming for a bit of that. Thanx much for reviewing, Larner. | |
