Iteralday · 2 August 2005 · Chapter 11: Chapter eleven

JUst letting you know, Iteralday is also known as Iterildea(yes different spelling)my middle name and last name transalate to Turelie Earrinde, and Eldarwen was mistransalated into my name, as was Learwen.(Aspen Elven, I just liked the name) :D So I have revied more than you thought!

Iteralday · 2 August 2005 · Chapter 11: Chapter eleven

This is Iteralday again.Thankyou for not killing him...yet.With that simple word, I feel like Gimli right now.It is strange knowing that you are the controller of their lives.DON'T KILL HIM!!!!(If you do, your conscience will never let you forget it, not to mention neither will I,and you will be guilty,GUILTY I say!!!Just as guilty as Samuel. It is not necessary to have to tell you how good your story is when I state the fact that last night I spent 3hours looking for it.9-12am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love ya, bye Hannon le

If you could see the evil grin I have on my face right now... But the guilt is worth living with, compared with the wonderful feeling that, just for a few pages, you can borrow these wonderful characters created by Tolkien and do with them as you please. I'm sorry it takes that long to find this story, but happy you didn't gave up :D

You are one dedicated reader... a review for every single one of the story's chapters! Thank you! It's wonderful to know what you think about the story as it progresses, and even more wonderful to know that you're liking it :D Twelve will follow as soon as possible ;)

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 10: Chapter ten

Whew...Leggy isn't dead-yet. He needs help, Fast. Hopefully now the people have seen through their foolishness. Loved it! On to Chapter 11!

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 9: Chapter nine

I knew it! I knew it! Ewwwwww, so that's the cause of the plague. *shivers* Yuck. Loved it! On to chapter 10!

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 8: Chapter eight

I wish Gimli could teach me some of his dwarvish words. I could say a few things about those boys. You expressed Legolas's thoughts beautifully. And I know I've said it before, but Stupid People! Loved it! Now on to Chapter 9!

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 7: Chapter seven

Stupid superstious people! Someone should tell them the tale of Beren and Luthien. not that it would do any good, though. Whne you're that far gone, who knows what will bring you back! Loved this! On to Chapter 8!

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 6: Chapter six

Ahhhhh so she is the woman that Leggy saw. And they came for him! This does not look good. Loved this! On to Chapter 7!

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 5: Chapter five

Gimli's words of wisdom! This looks really bad for the both of them. I hope dwarks have something that makes them immune to this plague. Ugh the stupid people! Should I begin a campaign for a healer? Like a certain Dunadain who actually has some guts! Loved it! On to Chapter 6!

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 4: Chapter four

Me again. Forgot to say how much I enjoyed this. :-) Now on to Chapter 5!

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 4: Chapter four

I love Gimli! He's such a wonderful character. You got both of them down pat. Poor Leggy. Stupid people! What would they think of the King of Men taking an elf for his queen?! Propably would think her a suducing witch! I really don't like Samuel. He's basically taken over the government. I wonder what has happened to the king's son. He's a healer and he leaves the people to die, thinking only about saving his sorry skin. The people of Cottoncrow remind me of the people in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. So stupidly suspious

Galimeril · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 11: Chapter eleven

Thank You *bows humbly* for not killing Legolas, however the "yet" is not very promising! Where did Samuel take Legolas?! AHHH! You're killing me with the suspense! Please update a little (or a lot) sooner! I'm dying here! ;D

Author's reply

Where did Samuel took Legolas... and why? Isn't that the question... As soon as I figure out the answer, I'll update... ;D Just kidding!

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 3: Chapter three

Ahhhhhhhh Elves are not evil! I wonder who it was that Legolas saw. Perhaps he saw a future vision of Arwen. He could feel her great sadness. And he saw her mithril necklace. Only a very wealthy woman would have a necklace of such a precious metal. And being a queen, Arwen would count as a "very wealthy woman". Or maybe he saw "The Mother". Who is "the Mother"? Is she David's wife, or is she a spiritual mother like the Virgin Mary? We'll see. On to Chapter 4!

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 2: Chapter two

I love the friendship between those two! You have written both of them true to their characters and even added a bit of sensible movie verse. Poor Leggy. I would not want to carry Gimli for who knows how long. Small as he may be, he still looks heavy. But I'm afraid they will be seen as the two-headed monster. Stupid people! Your plague is probably caused by the fleas on rats or something! On to Chapter 3!

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 1: Chapter one

Cottoncrow seems sort of like a Utopia. And then this plague sets in and affects everything. I don't like Samuel and right now that part about him being able to see ahead seems a little fake. But we'll see. And I sort of want to shake him and say, "Elves are not evil!!!!" But I can understand their veiwpoint since they lived under Caranthir for a while. Now on to Chapter 2!

Sweet Pea · 23 July 2005 · Chapter 0: Prologue

Oooo this is good. It's all very well written and vivid. And now I go on to Chapter 1 with anticipation!

Iteralday · 11 June 2005 · Chapter 10: Chapter ten

don,t kill legolas!

Galimeril · 9 May 2005 · Chapter 10: Chapter ten

Author's reply

Glad you liked it... as for the fast update... can't promise much, but I'll try me best ;)

Iteralday · 4 April 2005 · Chapter 9: Chapter nine

That was a very, very interesting chapter. Now I'm dying to find out what happens next!Let Gimli's plan work,pleeease!!!Don't keep your readers waiting too long! (Et voila!I see you speak French!)

Author's reply

I hate to keep others waiting, I really do, but at this moment I have a choice between posting something that's still not good enough, or wait a little bit longer, just until my exams to finish, and post something that I wont be ashamed of :) I'm hoping to post 10 really soon!

Galimeril · 8 February 2005 · Chapter 9: Chapter nine

Well, Well, Well! Nice to see you back! A Wunnerful wunnerful Chapter! I've been dying to see what's happening in this tale, and you more than fulfilled my expectations! Update really, REALLY SOON!!! Your faithful reader, Galimeril

Author's reply

Oh! Gezz! Thanks! It's been hell to update, with everything that's happening, but it's reviews like yours that remind me to not give up. Obrigada.

eldarwen · 6 January 2005 · Chapter 8: Chapter eight

Hurry up and finish the story please! I am dying to find out more! Just please don't let Legolas die! I spent about 3 hours more than a few times trying to find this story because the stupid search always says it can't find anything! Your story is so good that I indeed do spend 3 hrs every time I can get on the internet looking for your story (since September) only to find it was all in vain!Please hurry and update i understand you arebusy, but this is torture! Your story is my favorite!

Learwen Aspen Elven · 12 December 2004 · Chapter 8: Chapter eight

Don't let him die! I love your story!Don't ruin it by taking his life.This story keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time and keeps you holding your breath.Please write more soon. the last time i searched for this story for two hours and still didn't find it.Ive been waiting since September for you to finish this.Pleeeeaase hurry.I am going to hold my breathe until you finish and post the rest of the story. Remember,the best stories have happy endings.ilfirin elda Legolas enya melme!

Galimeril · 21 November 2004 · Chapter 8: Chapter eight

Write More!!!!!!!!!! Oh, please write more! I'm dying to see how they pin this one on Legolas. And where is Gimli! He had better get the lead outta his butt! Galimeril ;D

angry elf maiden · 9 October 2004 · Chapter 7: Chapter seven

thankyou for not killing him yet! And please don't kill him!Just finish the story will you?It seems like the only person who can fix this mess is Aragorn! And who the is the strange woman?Plus, how can a healer be illiterit,selfish and such an idiot!Samuel...if I could get my hands on him! Samuel,ella ulka firiima,amin delathalie! Legolas,Eru na wo etya. I think since Gimli can't go back into the village that night, he should go and find the dwarves, or the elves or Elrond or even Elessar. Legolas:"Gimli,noro path a noro bell,mellon-nin.Tua amin."

Iterildea Turelie Earrinde · 22 September 2004 · Chapter 6: Chapter six

Not confusing, hurry up, I need to find out what happens,dont kill him!
