| Message | Hi Leni and welcome to Feud I am very happy to have you here in the realm of Tawar. And thank you for those kind words of praise, I am smiling and the day will be good now. Also this inspires me to write diligently. I am trying to get to a Feud update, but have some other promises to keep first, like the update for Cuthenin. So pleased you liked that one too I added The Czec Republic to the flag banner,too. So exciting to think about folks so far from me who read and enjoy the stories. Thank you so much for this great feedback ![]() |

| Message | thank you stef i really kind of got lost in that chapter(s) and i think it is because i am so unused to trying to draw so many other people into the picture. thanks for the interest in boromire's character. i've made him pretty grim and pompous, but i left myself a loophole to pull his noble nature forth. can't promise the tale will go on past the departure from Imladris. I think that would have to be an entire nother story. we'll see what happens.between the stories i have promised and the ones i haven't finished,i am going to be burning up the keys so glad you enjoy gimli's 'elder brother' motif. that is how i have always seen him, not silly and crude as in the movie. i think he and legolas have much in common and as gimli has already discovered,the wood elves, so isolated and xenophobic, and the dwarves share a similar cultural perspective with respect tot he rest of arda.the idea of a yule celebration was in part to allow for a glimpse into those two peoples' customs,both of them steeped in tradition, superstition, love of the earth (though different aspects of it), fostering a strong warrior culture amid a spirit of fierce independence. thanks for always supporting whatever i end up writing ![]() |

| Message | Hi, that was worth the wait! I like the new Cuthenin chapter(s) very much. Like in real life one day brings so different scenarios, from the light atmosphere of the Hobbits' scenes to the conflict between Legolas' and Boromir's strong wills. The Hobbits are really too much fun, and Gimli you portraied as the older brother i will love to have, he is wise and compassionate, a wounderful character and i hope you will continue Cuthenin and follow our heroes along the quest, for also your Boromir shows the potential for intriguing and dramatic developments! as always, i can't wait for more. thank you very much for shsaring this! |

| Message | thanks ebbingnight things are ok for now. the job stress is kind of rough but i'll get by. so pleased the 'supersonic' singing pleased you; i've been waiting to get that idea out for along time. oh the bad-guy will be discovered, be assured. Elrond is hopping mad that his order was disobeyed, for it was he who decreed that Legolas' status be kept secret from all except the elves at the council, and they already knew. however, erestor is the ultimate source for the mean trick, even if he himself did not do it, nor ask someone else to do it for him. so i think some punishment is justified. thank you again so much ![]() |

| Message | oh thank you, that is too kind you've left me great feedback and i am just very happy the cuthenin story pleased you. i wish i had been able to finish it on time, but at least you got me to work on the story again.i like writing legolas and gimli as good friends. to me, it always seemed they had much in common and it was the most natural thing for them to be pals. even in the books, i never really felt they were antagonistic, and there are more passages where they are in accord than in contention. yes, gimli over-hearing all that did give legolas a few seconds of insecurity and anxiety, especially not knowing whether the dwarf would use it against him and spread the tale all over imladris, if he was still angry with him. i just felt like gimli would be wise enough to see that legolas is not the kind of elf to purposefully wrong anyone,especially someone he had chosen as a friend. his decision to give legolas a second chance says much about his character, which has always been sterling in my book. ah! i did toy briefly with the idea of sending galdor to check up on them, but after his conversation with legolas earlier decided he would leave his ward alone. he probably assumes they did it, never guessing glorfindel would be the one to resist so strongly. the culprit will be revealed! he's slimy and a real snake in the grass he and his accomplice will be banished! thank you again for all these compliments ![]() |

| Message | I know I've reviewed at your lj, but it doesn't feel right not to leave a thank-you here as well. I just love Cuthenin and I'm so grateful you've taken the time to write this for my xmas fic. It was good to see the developing friendship between Legolas and Gimli here. Although I do wonder if Gimli will ever be able to look at Legolas again without remembering what he must have heard, waiting outside Glorfindel's house. (I must say for a horrible moment I thought it was Galdor at the door - I had images of him striding in and separating the two!) I am now very curious as to who left Legolas' gift in Boromir's room. It looks as though Legolas has more than one enemy in Imladris and one who must know something of sylvan culture. I can't wait to find out who it is. Thank you again! I don't think I will ever be able to look at a back scrubber in the same way again Naledi |
