| Beta readers can be cruel! Author Reply: Elladan was trying to be supportive - I think he remembers his own first crushes a very long time ago. | |

| That's quite sweet. Estel's definitely not a poet :) Author Reply: Poor Estel. The poem isn't very original, is it? Elladan was very tactful. | |

| Poor Estel. Imagine having to exhibit not only first love, but first poetry to a 3k year old elf. On a technical point - drabbles are 100 words, aren't they? Do the crossings-out count as words, or can they sneak in as extras? Author Reply: Elladan was very tactful, wasn't he? Perhaps he remembers what it was like - after all, elves have perfect recall! The crossings-out do indeed count in the total. All my drabbles are exactly 100 words according to Word, but they all vary depending on where I post them (SoA says this one is 99 words long). I love the strike-through font - this drabble would have been impossible without it! | |

| Sounds as if young Estel does indeed have a way to go. Nice to see the earliest experiments! Author Reply: I hope the recipient of his poetry attempts appreciates the trouble he took! (I don't know who she is, but gave her golden hair to establish that it wasn't Arwen.) | |

| Awww! Isn't this cute! Estel stumbling over poetry, being brave enough to show it to Elladan--and Elladan responding to it so kindly. How encouraging that would be. I love the image of Estel (or any guy) trying to write a poem about his love. :-) Author Reply: I'm not sure that he was brave to show Elladan - he knew he had no choice! But he trusted Elladan not to laugh. Glad you like this! | |

| Uncommonly sympathetic of Elladan to say that! It is so nice he for once doesn't tease poor Estel! Author Reply: It would be too mean for Elladan to tease him - the twins are very fond of their little brother really. I think Elladan can still remember being in Estel's shoes - long, long, ago! | |

| What an understanding brother, to offer a sympathetic touch rather than teasing. Very nicely done! (Wonder if they could make a poet out of me...) Mum Author Reply: I think that Elladan (a very long time ago) was perhaps once in a similar situation, so he knows how it feels. Thanks for reviewing! | |

| Estel writes poetry like I do! Only no one has the power to make a poet out of me, unfortunately. Author Reply: Poor Estel. I was trying to think of something beautiful to write, then realised that for this, mundane would be better! Don't worry, Daw, you're a far better writer than Estel is! | |
