WOW! This is fantastic! I just read all 54 chapters and loved them.

You called the your obligitory (sp?) Legolas romance fic. Honey, this is a Legolas romance fic like no other I've ever read! I'm so glad you've already started the 2nd one! I'd hate to wait!

Author Reply: Well it was obligatory (I have no clue if this is the right spelling) romance since I have read so many Legomances that I firmly believe everyone had written one at one point. I just started my LOTR fanfic 'career' with one - which I was scared about, but I think it worked our. Don't you?

I hope you enjoy Moriquendi II as much. See you at the sequel I hope.

Thank you,

Fan

Author Reply: Thank you,

But I am sure the Tolkien foundation might. They make a LOT of money of the books and papers. Thank you for the vote of confidence and if you keep reading that is enough.

Thank you! The text is nicely readable now.

You are an amazing writer! I stumbled across your story and against my better judgement started reading. I couldn't stop. I've always been scared of Legomances, but yours is believable and so well written! You write Legolas the best I have ever read. The Avari are the perfect source of tension, and the story is great! It's good to know that not all fanfic writers are incompetent Mary-sue creators, you bring me hope. I can't wait for the sequel!

Author Reply: Trust me, I was scared and still am of writing a Legomance. It is such a quagmire, most people would not touch it with a ten-foot pole. But I decided that the challenge was enough to make it worthwhile. Then of course the Avari came alive and took over my life. ;)

The writers on this site are fantastic. Not incompetent at all. You should check out their stuff, though I am not sure if they write Legomances as a rule. There are some really nice ones though.

Um, another minor problem. The text in this chapter is way too small. Even with my browser text size set as large as it will go, I still cannot read the words. (I'm sorry if my pointing out this and the chapter that had the wrong chapter in it offends you. No offense is intended - I know it was an accident, I'm just trying to be helpful.)

This is a very interesting story. I think that the way you have envisioned the Avari is interesting, because you have made them so very different, which makes sense. Also, I like how you have referred to several things in passing and not really explained them yet (like what Rhinure knows about Eruante) because this makes me want to read more to find out about those things in addition to finding out what will happen in the main plot line (you will eventually explain them, right? in a sequel, if not in this story?)

Author Reply: I am sorry if I implied I was offended. I am very glad you pointed out a mistake. As a reader that is your right and as someone who has posted on a public site it is my responsibility.

I have changed the font and it is reading fine on my computer but please tell me if it isn't - I will try posting it again.

As for the mysteries surrounded Rhinure and her connection with Eruante - all will be explained. Its actually part of the main plot line. But you will have to wait for it. ;)

really good. im glad that their together again. Whats the name of the sequel? and i hope the sequel will come out soon!


Author Reply: I am hard at work on the sequel. For now I have named it "Moriquendi - the Eryn Lasgalen Cycle". If you can come up with something else I am willing to listen. It will be much appreciated. :)

Um, so this is supposed to be chapter 27, but it's not. It's chapter 26 again. Please fix it, I'd like to read the rest of the story, as it's a rather interesting story, but it's not generally a good idea to randomly skip chapters.

Author Reply: Thank you for pointing out the mistake. I have posted the correct chapter, though it is "generally" considered a mistake when one skips chapters, not deliberate intent.

Bravo Fan! I eagerly await the sequel... I think Cothion is going to be put in his place, at least I hope so and Rhinure is definitely onto something, why not both ways. While not knowing the other lends to false notions of who they are, becoming intimately aware of the other begins the decay of these assumptions as truth and relationships begin to dismantle our prejudices. In order to flourish the Avari need to relish, they are quendi after all, and Rhinure's Sacrifice will be this most momentuous task. What a wonderful gift she will bring them.

Author Reply: Oh don't worry - Cothion and the rest of the Avari are in for a long overdue lesson. Assumption will be shaken and broken. But it is a long, often painful process. Feel a little pity for the Avari, for learning and admiting you are wrong is not easy. Poor Rhinure who is caught in the middle.

Congratulations on finishing the story, Fan! It is quite an accomplishment. And, of course, you left us with a bit of a cliffhangar, for the political intrigue is just getting going. The wood elves know the locatin of Tirnen now, and things are heating up between the Avari clans.

The heat between Rhinure and Legolas was lovely. Their passion is spoken in volumes through thoughts and brief touches, and frankly its better than anything graphic. This is more romantic.

I look forward to the next cycle.

Author Reply: Thanks. Much of the credit goes to you. I don't know how I would have continued if it wasn't for you.

As for something which was graphic - I can't do it. My mind kept going blank even when I was writing this. If I tried to do something more detailed you would have to wait for a LONG time.

May the next cycle start (and finish) soon.

That story was awesome. I loved every minute I spent reading it. How long did it take you to write it?. Please hurry with the sequel. Can't wait till you continue it.

Author Reply: Thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed it. I loved writing most of it - but it took me quite long to write it. This started off as a short Legomance but unfortunately (or fortunately) it grew and grew - and became this behemoth. All I wanted to do was write something believable. I think I started this about a year ago. I hope the sequel takes less time though ;)
