| Wow! How quickly you write! Enjoyed this much! I'm no expert, but I think you nailed this first person point of view thingy dead on. And how interesting that you chose Eilian's point of view. I loved this part: ""Galeril came by, Adar, and Eilian threw a snowball at him for me, and then I threw one at Eilian's novice tutor. What was his name, Eilian?"" Too funny! Thanks, daw, for this little jewel! (Wow, I actually managed to write a proper noun in the lowercase. You don't know how hard that was!) Looking forward to the next one! Author Reply: My pen name is actually my initials, and I started using lower case because I was too lazy to upper case them all. But it's a pain. I have trouble not putting spaces in the name fadesintothewest. Eilian's point of view was fun to write and while I just swore to Karri that I wouldn't write first person again, I wonder how different things would look from the POV of the other characters. That's interesting. Hm. Legolas has a child's innocent honesty, much to the dismay of Eilian, who is not above being deceptive sometimes I'm afraid. | |

| *grumble, grumble* first person *grumble, grumble* Well, you did a nice job of it, and it was brave of you to try something new. 'Twas a sweet story. It was nice to see Legolas have a good day, and Eilian and Adar getting along. *raises hand* I, too, wouldn't at all mind more elfling Legolas stories. ;-) Author Reply: LOL. Not to worry, Karri. I'm not doing THAT again. Fortunately for me, elfling Legolas is always willing to make an appearance. It's not like RL where you can't go back. | |
