| Oh my! Their shenanigans. Elboron is 5 YEARS older than Eldarion? That seems too much. But Boy! (pun incidentally but intended) That is a lot of girls! I like the names though. And each family has a set of twins. Funny that Théodwyn and Éomund are twins, I suppose they named they named them that because it made sense (and I don’t think Faramir would name a son of his Denethor—-But actually, with this Éomund’s personality it might make sense—-though Théodwyn is certainly cliser to her name sake than her paternal grandmother.) I wonder what Éomer thinks of them and their names. He probably secretly thinks their shenanigans are funny. I don’t suppose this journaling will continue forever? | |

| Yes! Faramir! Not that that's anywhere near enough of him- must see him in a family setting as well as his Royal Highness, the Prince of Ithilien. Are you considering involving the Prince of Dol Amroth in your story. There's a well of young, marriageable children in that set as well as in the Royal House of Edoras (just beware of who is actually realted to who- it could get messy). And there's still Lord Hurin- who knows where Celebrianmight have to search for a partner?! If you follow the usual pattern, I'd predict that Eomund would shortly fall in love with Elwing and that his teasing is just his way of getting her attention. However, I'd like to point out that, in those days, men married when they were much older than the women. Therefore, I'm rooting for Elboron to shortly turn his attentions on the pretty young maid (and imagine where you can go with that plotline- Celebrian might have a few choice words to say)! Then of course, Elwing does sound quite a bit too young to be thinking about wedding. After all, when Arathorn married Gilraen (who was in her early twenties), she was considered to be a child bride. But hey, it's your story and I'm definitely looking forwards to more of it (just please- more Faramir!) Author Reply: Yep, the Princes of Dol Amroth will appear as well as the King Eomer and his family. Hmm, thank you for reminding me about Lord Hurin. His children will come in handy for later entries. Ahh, Celebrian. Contrary to what Elwing thinks, there's more to her (and Gilraen) that meets the eye. *snorts* Romance? At Elwing's age? Never! (Most cases of "love", in my opinion, at that age is merely an overflow of hormones, but then that's my cynical side talking. My romantic side side says otherwise.) However, even if there's no romance, there's always HORMONES! *cackles* Hmm, Elboron and Elwing. Might have to think about that. Don't worry, more Faramir shalt come! Thanks! Namarie! Loremaster | |

| What a charming story, I really enjoy your story and the plot is great. I always wondered what middle earth might be like if you were a kid stuck there. As a former teenager who also got stuck having to keep a "stupid journal" as a home work assignment (unfortunately it didn't help my penmanship one bit), Please tell Elwing to hang in there! Thanks for the great story, looking forward to the update. E Author Reply: Thank you very much for your kind words. Oh dear, you had to keep a journal for a school assignment? Elwing tells me that she feels your pain. She also told me to tell you that she appreciates your kind words and will try to "hang on." Thanks! Namarie! Loremaster | |
