| OK. Maybe Galendur isn't completely in love with himself. Maybe he's just a bit of a Hooray Henry. A bit of an oaf with a heart of gold. But I still hope Tilwen makes him suffer - because it will help him grow as an elf! Or a half-elf. (Mind you, Tilwen doesn't seem to be the sharpest knife in the drawer either. Oh well, maybe like is calling to like.) Author Reply: Hooray Henry? lol haven't heard that one before! I think of him as this big wacky kid who was accustomed to being a big fish in a small pond, and is coming to find he is quite a little fish in a huge lake now and getting a bit of a wake-up call, if that isn't mixing metaphors a little extravagantly. Guess he'll find that heroes come in more than one size! | |

| I have to laugh at the elven hero with a stupid English aristocrat's vocabulary and attitude, but nice to see there is a person in there and not just all facade. Author Reply: Welllll, it was a daring step, but I thought maybe if Tolkien et al. could get away with cockney-ish trolls and orcs, maybe I could get by with it...heheh I think I conceived of him as a sort of Peter Pan/eternal football hero/Douglas Fairbanks swashbuckler type who, if he lived in the early 20th century, would have been a dashing aviator or rodeo rider. I dare say Tilwen will have her hands full with him, but at least she won't be bored!:D | |
