| Message | Loved this last chapter so much. Thranduil can be so soft and caring sometimes, but he does it with style that a person does know what to think of him. |

| Message | Thank Vicky! So glad you liked it. Well, about Aras and Legolas I could say you're right and thus hide the fact that I made a big goof-up, but really I'm grateful it was found so I could fix it. I fixed that reference to Faron being the son of the eldest of Oropher's sons, so now it jives with all that stuff i ran on about making the crown pass only to the eldest son's eldest son and so on. Faron is now the son of Thranduil's youngest brother. what can i say? sometimes, i go looking for wherever i must have left my brain, only to find i left it in the pocket of my jeans, washed them, and the poor fried neurons are now stuck in the lint filter. sigh but yes there is something amiss between the two princes and you are right, it is more than the fact that Aras blames Legolas for his Adar's death. that's a substantial reason for him to be so blatant in his disparagement, though. I am going to let Aras be the antagonist now that we've corrected Erestor for the most part and the Noldorin nobles are too scared to insult Legolas any longer. ah,so glad you approve of Thranduil's restraint. he is a cunning hunter and will find numerous ways to lure Elrond into unpleasant situations, thus avenging his son's humiliation, all while being perfectly civil and courteous. ![]() And not a rambling review at all, very much on the mark and as always i am so grateful! i think you are probably right about the idea of how leadership would be passed down among immortals. |

| Message | Thank you for yet another wonderful chapter. I'm impressed with Thranduil. Although a part of him must want to tear Elrond limb from limb, the fact that he's managed to restrain himself and remain civil shows just how deeply he cares for Legolas and wants him to be happy. I'm also really interested by the undercurrent of hostility between Aras and Legolas. It makes me wonder whether it is simply due to the fact that Legolas survived when his father did not, or whether there is more to it. Would he feel his status as Thranduil's heir was under threat with the revelation of Legolas' survival? I must say I'm curious about the way succession works in Mirkwood, given the fact that it turns out Thranduil had an elder brother and yet the kingship passed to Thranduil rather than his brother's heir. Although I've always thought that being immortal, Elves might not have such rigidly laid down laws of succession as humans. A rambly review, I'm afraid and probably way off the mark, but it just shows how well you've brought the various cultures to life that I should think of these things and want to know more! |

| Message | Thank you Rayna! oh, i'm so happy you liked that little scene between Lindir and Galion, two lesser characters that sometimes get forgotten. i have a feeling Lindir was attracted to Erestor because he reminded him of his first love. Galion thus represents a true indication of healing of the minstrel's heart. now we shall have to see what Galion is like and make sure he is suitable and won't hurt our troubled singer. i'm looking forward to pulling Lindir back into the story line again. glad you liked the queen and her unexpected relationship to Elrond! i was wondering if folks suspected what i was up to but went with it anyway. i need to make her strong and caring at the same time - tough to do! oh yeah, Thranduil is not likely to let Elrond off the hook too much and referring to Galdor's wealth as so much greater is just the start. wait til it sinks into Elrond's scull that Legolas was being sent to the Havens to meet a potential suitor, and now we have to wonder what Galdor must have been thinking when he finally did meet Legolas on that trip to Imladris! thank again! ![]() |

| Your Favourite Story | Aerlinn, |
| Message | This latest chapter was great. I loved the Lindir, Galion section. I liked Legolas's mother and her ancestry. The quip Thranduil made at the end about Lord Galdor was great. A great Chapter all in all |

| Message | It's me again. Just wanted to let you know my curiosity was peaked with the great comments about Aearlinn so I decided to read it while waiting for the next chapter of Feud. And once again I couldn't put it down. You have a great way with bring your Legolas to life in such a way that he leaps off the page and becomes 3 dimensional. Now I have 2 well written and fascinating stories for which I eagerly await more updates. Bravo! |

| Message | hi Deborah, no worries about the double post, just means i got to enjoy those nice compliments twice Yes, Feud is rather complex and i have to admit difficult to write. i am working on a new chapter, off and on, but it is such a dark tale that it just sometimes is hard to face what comes next. i promise to finish it and maybe the next chapter can post before too much longer. i'm working on Aearlinn now and hoping to complete it successfully. when i need a break from that i usually pick up a chapter from another story and work on it. The next Feud chapter concerns Meril's sentence, which Thranduil did not announce. I know folks want to know what's happening to Legolas out in the forest but I need to deal with her in order to move on.and once we follow Legolas into the trees, there's no turning back.it gets ugly and brutal out there before it's all done. i am committed to making as happy an ending as is possible from such a dark plot, though, so folks will not be completely sad and disappointed when it finally comes to an end. thank you again and glad you found me ![]() |
