Elanor's Birthday  by Elanor Silmariën 3 Review(s)
Queen GaladrielReviewed Chapter: 1 on 10/14/2006
Oh, Ellie, I just love this! This might be my favourite of your shorter stories.

Isn't it wonderful how everyone has their own "versions" of characters of whom we don't know much (or any) more than their names? I love your Elanor very much. She reminds me a little of myself, not really feeling grown up all the time and falling into those melancholy moods. :)

I love all the feeling and warmth of this story, and that Elanor still remembers her Uncle Frodo. I love Legolas' nickname for her as well. :) How like him. And the end is absolutely beautiful. I can just imagine handsome Fastred spinning his lovely princess round and round, both smiling and laughing with unbridled joy.
God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: I'm so glad you like my Elanor! She's very much like me in many ways. I figured I'd better write something about the character I named myself for. *giggles* I've read a few other versions of Elanor, and they're all slightly different. I love it! Glad you like Legolas' nickname for her!
God bless,
Ellie

Yes, Uncle Frodo is proud indeed, and rejoices in the knowledge of her joy.

OoohhhhhHH!! Wow! I really enjoyed this story! Well done and V. sweet!!
V. thoughtful too! I loved that she was struggling with the idea of growing up and that in the end it she came to terms with the idea, and was happy about it!
I also LOVED the beginning! Was that what you were writing @ church?
Oh, I also liked that you had the elves in the story! Yay! lol
Adorable story.
God bless!! ~Arwen
P.s. *Glad you liked the butter churn!* Lol. Jk!

Author Reply: Glad you liked it! No, it's not. I had this written a few days before, I think. I was just scribbling at church, not really writing anything substantial. *blushes* Yes, I had to put elves in there! I got the list of what I had to include, and it said "Legolas" and I had NO idea how to put Legolas in a hobbit story. LOl!
God bless,
Ellie

p.s. *I REALLY like the butter churn!* *smiles at you* lol!
