Real nice...

Elrohir really blames himself, and Legolas does not blame him... Even so he is feeling this way thier is no way they would know a bear would atack, it isn't as though he planned it...


You can feel for him...

Nice job...

Author Reply: Forgive the long delay in answering. The review alert feature doesn't work, and I hadn't checked this story in a while.

You are so right. It was simply a case of very bad timing. The prank itself wasn't meant to harm Elladan, either. It was just meant as fun. Legolas realized that. I felt for Elrohir, too, but he will recover and be himself again.

Author Reply: I forgot to say thank you.

'Lo White Wolf!
Wow! this is really good and sweet! At first I thought Aragorn(Estel)would blame him, but I guess everyone has his fault. You make Legolas really sweet and wise and I am deeply delighted of his way of thinking. You are wise, you know. I couldn't be able to write things like that. Keep it up White Wolf.

Author Reply: Thank you. The only one to blame anyone was Elrohir blaming himself. Legolas may be young by elvish standards, but I believe he is wise, as I think most people are, who take the time to observe and think things through. Thank you. I try to put myself in my characters' shoes and say what I think they would say, so I can be true to their nature. I will indeed keep it up.

good story. So it was a bear, Aha...

Author Reply: Thank you. Nothing evil, no spider, just a bear.

Yes, I knew it! That thing that attacked Legolas wasn't a spider, it was a bear! OK, oops, I got carried away. Good story you wrote there. The only fault that I could find with it was that it was short. See, if you haven't checked my reviews for your story "The Wrong Path", then you can read them there. That story was nice and long and angsty. But I don't blame you for making this story short; you still have the story "Dragonfire" in progress. Well, great story, with a perfect conclusion. I certainly do hope that you write more stories.

Author Reply: I think a lot of people were expecting that the attacker would turn out to be a spider for real, but Legolas was right: they only live in Mirkwood. The bear wasn't evil, just injured. I needed a simple catalyst for the story.

The reason this story was short is because it was written for the Teitho contest, and the limit for those stories is around twenty pages, though sometimes people send in slightly longer ones. It's necessary since we only have two weeks to read all the entries and vote on our favorites. I will usually have one long story going, as well as these shorter ones, so have no fear.

I'm glad you liked this one.

A nice ending to this tale of friendship. Lessons we all need to learn about trust and limits and loving forgiveness.

Author Reply: Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Yes, those are lessons worth learning, as well as the one that says lies, even those not meant to hurt, have consequences.

Once again, you have written a wonderful story. If you write a book, you will be at least as famous as J.K. Rowlig are now!
These stories are my inspiration when I write things in school, so thanks for leting people read them!

Author Reply: Thank you so much. That is a wonderful compliment. I sure would love to have her bank account. :o)

If I can provide inspiration for you, that makes me happy. I hope you will continue to read and enjoy.

Hi again. It has been long time since i was here, but i see you still write good stories that we can read...
I hope nothing serious happens to my dear elf... Then again, it seems so that in your stories something will always happen to him...
This is good beginning, so keepo it up, and write more!

T: Your finnish-reader...

Author Reply: Welcome back. It has definitely been a long time. Thank you, I do try to make my stories very readable.

Well I can't remark on what happens to Legolas, however, I've just posted Chapter Two, so you can find out for yourself.

This is a nice story, Elrohir telling a white lie seems to have had consequences. Wants revenge on his brother, but Legolas and Aragorn get involved...I am curious what the danger is, or is thier a spider really there, and not a joke at all in the end...

Author Reply: Thank you. Even a white lie not meant to hurt has its consequences. In this case, Legolas and Aragorn get themselves involved in Elrohir's lie, and things go dreadfully wrong. The next chapter will reveal what is attacking Legolas.
