| Poor child. She was young to lose Elenwe - a good thing she had that family that she did to look after her ... but even then ... They are all badly damaged. And the strength of Aredhel and Artanis must seem far less unconventional in the face of the suffering of the Helcaraxe. Sad. Beautiful, but sad. Author Reply: I had fun picturing Turgon as a devoted father, intent on raising a perfect princess and terrified by his tomboy sister and cousin... but surely the ice must have changed all that. | |

| Perelleth, I really liked these. You're able to pack so much into such a few words and NOT leave me feeling like something is unfinished. Your drabbles are round and whole. I'm truly impressed. These seven carried powerful images and such powerful emotions. VERY well done. Karen Author Reply: Well, THANKS! (blushes) I sometimes fear I'm imposing upon kind readers...I'm SO glad you find them round and complete!, for these are the equivalent to stories to me. I'm struggling to write a long story, but I keep unsheathing my blade and cutting at everything! economy of words, I fear, blame my job! Thanks again, it's very encouraging to read from you! | |

| Again, it's very interesting how the POV gives these little pieces a theme that's tied together and adds depth. I liked these, even if I do have trouble keeping the Quenya names sorted. Author Reply: Oh, oh.. I feared it would be that way, that all that quenya stuff and subsequent foot notes would make it even more difficult, if not plainly discouraging... Thanks for letting me know, daw! Maybe I'll go back and do some cleaning up! I always can blame Thingol!;-) Thanks again! | |

| This is very nice, perelleth. I enjoyed your story on Fëanor's sons, and this one is wonderful too. My favourite was the one a about Finrod (but he's my favourite character in the Silmarillion). It was interesting that you chose it from Itaril's perspective, since I've always liked her, but few people write about her. Are you going to do one about Finarfin's house next? Whose perspective will you do it from? Finduilas'? I hope you do it from hers. I've always liked her a lot too. Great job! Author Reply: Thanks Nerdanel, for taking the time to read and letting me know you did! I'm glad you liked it! Unfortunately, this series is not going beyond Mithrim, and I planned to stick to Huan and Idril's pov. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion... maybe I'd just sit and wait for her to tell me something! | |
