Mardil Goes A-Courting  by Le Rouret 3 Review(s)
BodkinReviewed Chapter: 6 on 3/30/2007
Legolas wants someone's leg broken????? He is an unusually ruthless matchmaker!

The description of the dry, drought-filled land is ... enough to make me feel stiflingly hot - even here on this cool, damp spring day.

And Durfinwen - Legolas is so clearly gripped by the ins and outs of silken finery! - seems to have an undercover role as a catalyst for lovers. Still - she seems to enjoy putting cats among pigeons!



Author Reply: Well, he only wants it broken "a little" ... that argues a tad more restraint on his part, doesn't it?

I'm having a terrible time not running with Durfinwen's character. I find I'm liking her and her saucy dialog a lot more than I'd anticipated!

Le Rouret,
First let me tell you that I haven't read your stories before. I started with this one and like it too much that I went I read the other ones over the weekend. I really enjoyed and loved it, they are great.
Please, keep writing; I can't wait to see what it is going to happen with Legolas' plans. Hopefully, he will find his match too, but I guess that I'm hoping too much, after what happened with the Infant. But when reading this character, Dúrfinwen, seems so right for him, she is so beautiful, bright, loyal and witty; besides, I will like to see a romantic Legolas for a chance.


Author Reply: Well, Fantasia, I don't usually write "romantic" Legolas ... I try to stay away from that aspect of his character. I agree that he and Durfinwen get along well, but I envision that more as two good friends than anything else.

Thank you for reading all my fics! I am immeasurably flattered.

Another great chapter, Le Rouret.Legolas' head is filled with plans of one sort or another but has he anticipated the unexpected? Something is bound to go wrong somewhere---and I can't wait to find out if Legolas' plans are successful or not!

I've read all your stories, Le Rouret, but I think I'll go back and refresh my memory on Legolas' love life, such as it was.

Update soon!

Author Reply: Actually poor Legolas' "love life" has rather warped his views on love and marriage. Though I admit to a certain appeal in a rather bull-headed and practical view of love-making (probably why I married an Italian) it would be nice to see what kind of woman would rattle him!
