I know this isn't a review, so much as a complaint . . . but I love your stories, and I was wondering if you would be finishing this story? :D It doesn't matter if it takes a long time, so long as it is finished . . . I'll promise to review every chapter . . . Please, please? I mean, heck, any author knows that it's perfectly plausible to dump every responsibility one has just to satisfy a few rabid story readers. :D

Hey,
I was just wondering if you happened to be from Sterling, CO. I had a friend that I vaguely remember writing LOTR fanfiction under the pen-name "little fish" or something like that. Just wondering if it was you.
Thanks,
Lynsey

Hi, Littlefish, excellent set of stories! They kept me on the edge of my seat & I've been sitting here so long,OMG, my neck hurts!!!! I see it's been a long time since you touched this one, such is real life.... hope you can get back to it soon, the tension over who Tervanis REALLY is is killing me!!!!!

I read all your stories in two days. I love how you are able to balance Aragon's love for his wife with his love for his friends. You have managed to keep the relationships between "The Fellowship" accurate, and add original (and believable ) characters. Keep on writing.

You are an absolutely marvelous writer. I've read your other stories over at FF Net. Anyway, I noticed you said that this story would not be continuing this story in the forseeable future. Any chance that things have changed?

Hi, Littlefish! I was wondering if there's any chance of an update on this story - or has it been abandoned? It's been over a year ... :(

Hi Littlefish!
I'm coming to the end of 'Hostage of Hate' and was looking forward to the third - but now I see it's just begun. And worse - the last update was long ago. So, will there be more anytime soon? I really, really try not to read a story until it's finished - it goes much better for me! So, I hope you will update soon, as I look forward to the third in this great series. Meanwhile, I will go and review the second story...

I finally managed to read the beginning of your new story (I was quite thrilled when I discovered you had started posting another story, but unfortunately Real Life got into the way). Great premise! I loved Tervanis' back-story. He never was one of those entirely evil villains and the little peak into his past revealed a vulnerable and compassionate boy. Though from your last story I remember that he had a knack for competition and I fear that might go ill as he seemed determined to compete against Elves.
For now I am curious as to his reasons for capturing Elladan and Elrohir (for I am convinced that it was Tervanis and his men who blocked their path and engaged them in battle).
BTW, since I now have more time for reading, you might well post the next chapter :D

Excellent Littlefish! It was pure coincidence that I stumbled upon this story, since I was checking Thundera Tiger's favorites for this sight, and then I noticed that you had three stories instead of two. And I thought, "Holy crap, where'd that come from?" I read Dark Horizons and Hostage of Hate, and they were both fantastic, although I haven't reviewed them. The Prologue was wonderfully written, setting the dark mood of the story. I'll have to wrack my brain however to remember who Tervanis (did I spell that right?) was. The second chapter was excellent also, starting with Elladan, which is always a plus. I wonder what he has planned for the two Elf twins. *Sigh* I feel forboding on Legolas's behalf. That Elf always manages to get trouble...Can't wait for the next update, and please, PLEASE don't have a cliffhanger next chapter!

Gorgeous. Dark Horizons was a great story, and still it seems that your writing skill has increased tenfold since then. The action scene was tasteful and smooth, and your description of the Mountains and Pass so well done the place was palpable in my mind. I love your characterization of the twins; they seem less like the mischevious Fred-and-George-Weasley duo the general fanfiction community has made them into and more like two figures of grace.
Good job. ^^

'One day I am going to write a story that doesn't have a cliffhanger ending every other chapter.' Hopefully that means you won't have a cliffhanger for the next chapter - but this one is bad enough! The twins are my favourite characters, and what you've done to them sounds very bad indeed. I like the way you've described Elladan's thoughts, and the way Elrohir is always there at his side - just how I envision them.
I have a horrible feeling that the next update will be a very long way away ...

Littlefish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have NO idea how excited I am that you're back! I was actually thinking about emailing you the other day. I didn't because I became sick, but you were on my mind.
First of all, I'd like to review your story's summary. Weird, I know, but you've got a good one. From what I can tell of the summary, the premise is fantastic. Very much in keeping with what we know of Tervanis. But I won't say anything more as I'd like to wait for the story to unfold first.
And now the prologue.
The poem by Mia-Philosephet (whom I love, btw) was a great way to begin this story. It's a poem you have to read a few times to get it into your head, and it could be taken so many ways. And that's the purpose of a prologue. It's meant to set the stage, but it can't set *too* much of the stage. Just enough to entice and lure, and that's what you've done here.
The prologue itself was superb. I knew it was Tervanis from the beginning, but the idea to withhold his name was a brilliant one. It made us distance ourselves from Tervanis the assassin and see all this through the eyes of a young boy. And kudos to you for being one of the only writers to actually show respect for the horrid crime of child and spouse abuse. So many just throw it in as a plot device, but because of your careful writing, you've managed to make it meaningful. It's not just a plot device but a statement. And you take the necessary time to pay tribute to one of society's greater evils. well done!
The blind rage Tervanis uses to kill his father was wonderfully believable and very chilling for being so real. The storm outside coincided brilliantly with the storm of emotions in Tervanis. And later, outside, as Tervanis decides to extend his rage to his father's friends, his thought process is logicially created. He does not immediately become a murderer but it's a conclusion that is come to after a series of realizations and the warped perspective of a young child desperately seeking to fulfill his mother's dreams. Wonderful setup. One of the best examples of a good prologue I've ever seen.
And now...where's the rest of the fic? (As if I'm one to talk.) Anyway, drop me a line if you're not too busy and let me know how things are going. Great job and I'll eagerly be awaiting the next part!

I liked your other stories. Glad youre back.
I have only one fear... 'make Legolas his own'???? Pleease dont tell me youre going to rape him!! Its disgusting and would totally ruin the story!!!! I hate stories like that! And to add to the disgusting and grotesque, it is also unoriginal, since it was already used by many many many authors...
Author's reply
Uhh, have no fear. Tervanis' interest in Legolas is not quite at that level. He looks at Legolas more as a challenge than as someone he wishes to dominate sexually. I can assure you that I have no intention of following that path in this story. So be at ease. ^_^ Anyway, thanks for the review! I hope you will continue to enjoy this story.

I am thrilled that you are back! Hostage of Hate was marvelous, and I can't wait to read more of your new story. How interesting that you start this story by allowing us to see into the making of the future man, which we have only seen in the previous story as an interesting but evil person.
Good beginning!

I am glad you like it. Thanks so much for your comments. Despite the gruesome aspects of this chapter, I enjoyed writing about Tervanis' past. Anyway, thanks again, and I hope you will continue to enjoy.

really good. I've been waiting for this story to come. So im guessing that because of his mothers death, he started killing people, and it eventually lead to where he was in Hostage of Hate. I hope the next chapter is soon.
Author's reply
Thanks for the reveiw sofia. You are definitely on the right track. Tervanis was a very interesting character to play with in 'Hostage of Hate,' and he is looking like he is going to be just as fun in this story as well. Yippee!
Well, thanks again!

Yay! You're back! Am so excited:-) Hmmm, thoughts about the chapter. Well...... It gave me some serious chills:-) A very shall we say, explosive way to start a story I guess;-) I hope you post more! I can't wait to see who the little boy becomes, though I do have my own ideas on who it is;-) Can't wait until the rest of the fellowship comes into view!
Namaarie!

P.S. Thanks for the email:-)
Author's reply
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed, and I am glad it gave you the chills. That's what I was aiming for. It was a bit on the violent side, but it kinda needed to be. Oh, and you might have missed it, but the very last sentence of the chapter tells you exactly who the little boy is. Perhaps you should go back and check...^_^ Oh, and don't worry about the rest of the Fellowship. They will be popping their heads up pretty soon. Thanks for the review!
