Wonderful story, very well written and beautifully described. I hope you write more, your writing of Legolas is just how I like him.....the blinding of him was strange but very well dealt with and handled. When he fell with the wounded back I was afraid you wre going to kill him. I am glad you didn't. Thank you for this story. I hope you have many more in you. :)

Thank you for your review :D Yeah, the making him blind was just about the the thing that pushed me in to writing this story... the rying to figure out how an lef would deal with such constant darkness... the rest just fell in place around that *g*

Ophium: I just read this amazing story of yours - it is wonderful! Imaginative and just superbly woven around book and movie verse and original ideas! Humor and poignant moments put together so well. Great job! If i have time, I will go back and review specific chaps - but if work prevents me from doing so - please know that I enjoyed this immensely.

Thank you very much! Those words mean a lot for me, especially coming from you :D And if work includes you writting the rest of your story, get working! ;)

Moving story.............and you write very well about the friendship between the "three hunters" Thank you
Aloysius · 24 August 2004 · Chapter 999
I love the way you've added another dimension fo the events of the movie by having Legolas lose his sight - it's really interesting and very well worked out. Your characterisation is wonderful and I love your presentation of the relationship between the three friends.
Bev · 29 May 2004 · Chapter 999
I thoroughly enjoyed your writing. What an intriguing idea. I can only imagine what Legolas would have felt blind. Keep up the great work!
Isa · 9 April 2004 · Chapter 999
First I loved everything, really no complaints from me, ignore everyone who tells you something different. I so loved your story. This tale was beautiful. The characters, the plot, the interaction, wonderful. No flaws in logic, as I said I loved it, only point that I didn't like - the last word - END. That is the only thing that bothers me with good stories, that they have to end. Because if a story isn't good I never read to the end. And I say it for a third time, I loved your story. Write more soon. May your blessed feather always be kissed by your muse. Isa Vienna

Thank you so much Isa! You know, I cant do that, the not reading the end of a story if it isn't good, because I always believe that the author, at some point, might reddeem him/herself... bad policy, let me tell you *g*, but cant help it. Loved your last sentence, and I do hope the muses listen to you, because without them, we're quite lost!
Leaflet · 2 April 2004 · Chapter 999
This was just really reallly good, I enjoyed reading it, keep going!
Author's reply
Thank you Leaflet! I'll keep going, just not on this one ;)

Ok so I could blame the cat, the kids or the other half! but I won't tis my own fault for reading these things when tired. Sorry about the mis-starts for this review. Ok review? You'll have to continue now won't you. You've left us with Gimli and Aragorn given messages but Legolas hasnt received his, has he? I like the idea of changing things...maybe you can have Haldir survive this battle? That would be different! More tolkeinesque even! I do like. Please continue. purrlin :) (I never said I was computerish, just love reading!)
Author's reply
Dont worry about the mishaps, I've deleted those, so your computerish-honor is safe ;) Continue this one... I dont know... Always enjoyed the idea of ending it at the beginning of such an important part, as the battle of Helm's Deep is. And thank you for reviewing, even tired as you were. I couldn't get a better compliment!

Well, bummer, I was just getting into it. It is interesting so far, if not a little rushed in some places, but that's just my opinion, I'm a sucker for really long stories.
Author's reply
Well, can't do much about the being short part, as this fic was never meant to be very long, but maybe the next one gets to be a long one ;) As for the rushed, yes, you're probably right about that, because I can be very impatient about seing where a particular story line goes, so, unconscioulsy, I might rush a bit, but I do try to pace myself when ever I realize I'm doing that.
Rivergirl · 27 March 2004 · Chapter 8
Hey I'm enjoying this story. Nicely done. :) Rivergirl
Rivergirl · 22 March 2004 · Chapter 7
I like it. The plot device of Legolas going blind has been used in several stories I've read, but still, I am enjoying this one. It is interesting how you have interspersed the blind plot-line with the events of TTT. That, at least to my experience, is original. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Hope for a new update soon Rivergirl
Author's reply
Glad you're enjoying it! Thank you! In a way, using the TTT plot-line was a safety net for me, as this is my first LOTR fic. Still, I'm very glad it worked :D Two more chapters to go, and its done!
Jef · 22 March 2004 · Chapter 7
I like this story, the bond between Aragon, Legolas and Gimli. Very well written chapter showing Legolas grief and grumpy yet caring Gimli. The suspense is mounting, looking forward to the continuation. Jef
Author's reply
Thank you Jeff! I find Gimli a wonderful character to write. He's like a rocky anchor, that with his grumpy personality, more often than not, makes you laugh. Professor Tolkien knew what he was doing when he created his characters ;)
Allie · 22 March 2004 · Chapter 7
I'm really enjoying this story so far. You write Legolas' desperation and pain very well, and I love the way the relationship between he and Gimli is developing. So much angst! Can't wait to see where you take the story next!
Author's reply
Thank you for your words... authors tend to feel a bit lost when there's no feedback from readers, so you'll know how important your words are too me :D
Kitt of Lindon · 4 March 2004 · Chapter 3
Clever...because of the vembrances being Boromir's and the hairs being Galadriel's, they were unharmed. Great chapter!
Author's reply
Thanks Kitt!
purrlin · 3 March 2004 · Chapter 3
You want a review... More! I want more!! Is that enough of a review? :) purrlin
Author's reply
Thanks... I think *g* I guess its the thought that counts, right?
Kitt of Lindon · 29 February 2004 · Chapter 1
Bravo! Nice twist that Saruman stole those items. My insides are twisting in anxiety, can't wait to see what happens!
Kitt of Lindon · 29 February 2004 · Chapter 0
Can't wait for this story to get going. I too started writing fiction 'just for fun' and never would have in my wildest dreams have posted it...but now adays I plan to. Fanghorn Forest is such an intriguing place to write fiction, and especially sounds fun to do it from Legolas' point of view. (With him being the one awed by the trees.) I think I shall find this interesting as you get the chapters posted.
Author's reply
:D well, hope to be reading something of yours soon... and that this one does not desapoints you! Even thought the story is Legolas-focused, Fangorn is just a starting point... they dont stay there long.
