| I absolutely loved this! What a brilliantly refreshing take on the sea longing. The only negative comment I could make would be on your author's note at the end which is extremely defensive. Either you have been slammed for this story before, or you fear to be. I find it a shame for your opening note should have clarified that for readers and you should have no need to be defensive over this fabulous story! NiRi | |

| I really enjoyed the exploration of Elven dreams (always an intriguing subject for me) and the use of good poetry to illustrate feelings about connections. A very seductive story. Well done! - Chathol-linn | |

| I got it and liked this very much. Makes an odd kind of sense in a way too. Well done! :) | |

| Very, very sensual fic! I love when a story is written more in between the lines then in the actual text, and you do that wonderfully! And the fact that the woman's seduction is but a metaphora of the sea longing is both brillant (had never thought of it like that) and very well achieve. So, loved it! Author Reply: Thank you, Ophium! (I must say, I *love* your name.) I rather like between-the-lines things as well. They're difficult to do. I'm glad I pulled it off effectively! I think the sensuality of sea-longing buggered me when I read one of Ithilien's works. I don't remember the title, but it was fantastic, and very sexy. (erm, that sounded wrong... well, it was!). I am glad you liked my metaphor! Thank you for the feedback! ~Gwyn | |

| I love that poem and was really pleased to see a story themed on lotr written including it! good job :-) Author Reply: Really? I think Byron is fantastic. I love finding poetry, and even better, finding poetry that I can pepper throughout fiction! Thanks for the review. ~Gwyn | |

| Hiya Gwyn! Just chanced across this, and thought it a very interesting take on the usual fics about Leggy's sea-longing, love the metaphor, although I don't think you should have had put any disclaimers or explanation for what you did, but then again..... On the other hand, I really like the metaphor, and thought you handled the situation very sensitively indeed, well done! Keep up the good work! x Author Reply: You didn't like the notes at the end? I'd prefer if it didn't need it, too, but the opposing argument was in favor of those who wouldn't have gotten what I was trying to imply without that... I didn't want to chance anyone seeing it as mindless elf seduction. -_-;; Valar know we have enough of *that* floating around the fandom as it is! I'm glad you liked my metaphor. You flatter me! Thanks for the review, ~Gwyn | |
