| Message | ebbingnight: thank you i am so glad you liked this story and you are right, i was trying to make it work out and give these two a decent chance for things to be good for them. yes, sometimes i put so much into the writing it drains me and then i get stuck on the hit count. i try to keep my perspective, but the depression is always worse when the story has taxed me. though it doesn't seem like it in the final version, this H/L story was hard! I wrote 3 different versions of it, all very different, and this one seemed to work the best. yes, i am lucky and grateful for my friends here and will try to keep that for most in mind. oh, and one of the xmas fics is a feud update thanks again for your support and great compliments!Lapizz: thank you! i am so pleased you enjoyed the H/L story. I will get back to aearlinn as soon as i can. thank you for sending me feedback ![]() |

| Your Favourite Story | Aerlinn by day, Feud by night |
| Message | Well, I will happily take this new fic to my heart, regardless of whom it was originally intended for! I really liked the fact that the happy ending here came relatively quickly (in the holiday spirit!), and that I can have confidence in that Haldir has relatively little "baggage" compared to Glorfindel or Elrond, say, in the darker stories, so I can easily believe in a wonderful "ever after" for Legolas and Haldir. But I am so sorry to hear that you're "down", especially as I see tons of truly dreadful stories in the bigger archives getting lots of hits and reviews by people who should know better. On the other hand, many superb writers outside fanfic too have tiny, devoted followings... like us! |

| Message | thank you stef ![]() i know i can always depend on you guys here. i think i made a mistake in agreeing to do a story for someone i don't really know. more than likely, that person has lost interest in lotr moved on to another fandom. i am cheering myself up by working on a Balrog out-take i have been meaning to finish forever. i may not get it posted tomorrow, but it will be a Thanksgiving gift to everyone who comes here to read. should have it done by sunday, i hope. thank you again somuch for all the kind wordsand support ![]() |

| Message | Oooh, that was a great story. I agree completely with Vicky; you just hit the whole range of emotions. Yay for Christmas! |

| Message | dear Vicky, what would I do without you? Those wonderful compliments really bolstered me up. I get pretty nervous when I do this sort of thing, worrying it won't be received well or misses the mark for the intended person. I too am looking forward to writing yours, it is going to be such fun and i hope both warm and fuzzy and exceedingly HOT Don't worry about the so-called bar. I am awaiting your xmas fics with much anticipation and joy. it was such a great idea, I couldn't resist joining in! You are number three, so let me get busy and finish number two lots of love ellen |

| Message | Oh I loved Faer Na Faer! You've raised the bar so high for the Christmas fics that I know I won't be able to reach it - I'll just have to crawl underneath instead You managed to wring just about every emotion from me in this tale - from sorrow at Thranduil's grieving, to toe-curling embarrassment at Haldir's misunderstanding of Thranduils's toast, all the way through to raging lust at the end! I particularly liked how everyone thought they were acting in someone else's best interest, not wanting them to be hurt. I was actually relieved when Thranduil overheard Legolas and Haldir's exchange, because I knew he would only have Legolas' best interests at heart, even if that would mean having to let him go. Wonderful! I can't wait for the others (especially mine!) |
