Message	wow that is TWO votes for Cuthenin! Who knew? Vicky, thanks for the good thoughts! and these kind words for Cuthenin. Pâd-en-Tawar was important to me to develop, having started the idea in Feud and never taking it far there. I have this duality-at times i feel structured religion is controlling and reduces open-minded thought. then at other times i feel that such structure is important and gives a person a safe place from which to explore the world. i tried to make the wood elves' religion not too perfect, because i do think that the temptation to hide behind religion and use it to actually create hurtful situations is strong. So happy you liked Galion in that story! he's better there than in Aearlinn, where I'm not going to give him much to do. Stef: I know what you mean about Feud; it really is terribly dark and depressing. I think that's partly why it's so hard to go back to it now. I think after Aearlinn I must go ahead and just finish it. It gets pretty bad right about now. Yeah, I know; it was already pretty gruelling. Time to finish. Then I can work on the lighter stories. Well it pleases me greatly that Thranduil's character rings true in Cuthenin. I wanted to show that the isolation wasn't felt only by Cuthenin. Thranduil has suffered terribly, too. Calarlim meant well but did them both a disservice. I think the Tawarwaith group could be used for this if folks want to. Sorry i just can't seem to get the forum to work. I'll take another look at it.

Message	Glad you arrived safely! I agree with Ceren Cae's proposal, perhaps we could post through the tawarwaith group? My favourite story so far is Cuthenin, my favourite characters is Thranduil, I find him most human, divided as he is between the law and custom of his people and the need for Legolas to express his sexuality and find his way to happiness. And I really like Aerlinn, bu again i have a crush for mpreg stories and this one is credible (the same cannot be said for most mpreg fics) and, even if the situation is exasperated, i find it gives a fair representation of all the doubts, fears and hopes of a real pregnancy. Feud is really too dark, but it was the very first LOTR fanfiction I read and I'm waiting tosee the end... it remembers me of Sam's lines in the two towers (i watched the movies in italian so i don't know the exact wording): "it is as in the great, important stories, there was darkness and you would not hear the end because how could there be an happy ending after so much pain?" but i hope even for the tawarwaith there will be light and peace in the end.

Message	Glad to hear you made it safe and sound to the camp. I hope it provides you with plenty of inspiration for your writing. I think a discussion is a good idea too. So to answer Ceren Cae's question: I find it hard to pick a favourite - it tends to be whichever I'm reading at the time - but it's between Feud, Hir o Meril Thafn, Cuthenin and Aerlinn. If I was forced to choose one, I think I would choose Cuthenin. Partly because I really like the pairing of Legolas and Glorfindel but mostly because of the amazing depth that the descriptions of the wood elves' religion gives to the tale. In all the stories I really appreciate the attention to the characterisation. Even the most minor characters have distinct personalities. I think my favourite minor character is Galion in Cuthenin - another reson for saying that would be my favourite story.

Message	more great feedback! love you guys! shadow in the dark: thanks for the good wishes and these compliments!you're right, Erestor was completely taken by surprise! the triple bond is problematic, true. obviously, it can't be viewed too favourably if legolas never heard of it, then again,it may be so rare that it just didn't come up. i'm goin to try and handle it well, we'll see how i do! Ceren Cae: that is a great idea except the guestbook only lets people sign it once a day i have a BB i started once but couldn't figure out how to customise the thing so it would work.if you,or anybody else wants to give it a shot i can add you as a mod or something. thank you for picking Meril Thafn as your fave! yes,i've had fun with that one and just recently envisioned the finale and ending in fine detail.i know,lots to cover first, but it is hopefully funny and also very angsty with a surprise 'hero' to the rescue.much better than the ending i had worked out before. looking forward to getting back to it.

Message	Hey everyone! So, I've noticed that there are several of us who check in and regularly write in the guestbook, and I thought maybe we couold have a discussion? It would help tide us over between updates at least . So, if anyone out there is interested...um, reply! I'll start out with something easy: What is your favorite story and why? My answer: Hir o Meril Thafn because it showcases Erobey's sense of humor more than her other stories along with her ever-amazing angsty goodness. And, who doesn't love a Modern AU? Anyone else?

Message	Glad you made it to TN safely. Hope the trip was at least a bit enjoyable I know how long trips can be painful. Hope you will enjoy working at the camp ground. The update was great and the ant part was absolutely brilliant, and Erestor didn't even see it coming. I wonder how Thranduil and the Mirkwood elves will respond to the triple bond between Legolas and the twins. Keep it up and enjoy yourself.

Message	Hi Everyone! Made it to TN, VA tomorrow. Not sure if I'll have internet there, so I'm answering now. Tanya: Thank you and I'm glad you are catching up with the story again! I will do a lot of writing in the camp over the next two months. I'll find a way to post. Kort: Thank you for the recs at work i'm always happy for new readers and i'm pleased you agree with Erestor and Lindir together. I imagine them just the way you describe. on the ants, i was thinking of wasps, but i've been swarmed by ants and went with that because it was really painful. stef: Thank you! It is a relief you also like Lindir and Erestor together. hadn't thought about his mom's fate; i'll think on it. the twins are in for a rough time ahead, i think. glad you like thranduil's style of revenge. i am working hard to keep the Wood Elves non-violent. Vicky: thank you! i am happy you're liking this version of thranduil, too. I hope i can keep him noble and also fun-loving and a bit mischievous. Ah, the Chiavari i promise Elrond will not be injured, but he's in for quite a night! yes, the difference of one word, and we'll see legolas' reaction soon. ceren cae: oh thanks, I am safe, thank you! wow, your compliments blow me away! and thanks for forgiving erestor, and for liking Forgam and for adoring my thranduil all will be well, lots of writing to do!
