Brother Mine  by Eärillë 2 Review(s)

A good reception by the King, at least. And Erestor has managed a fair amount of grace in imparting this dread news.

Author Reply: Yes... at least Fingon understood the young ellon's predicament and received it as it was with grace. One of the traits of a good ruler, don't you think? :) Erestor did his best, but here his inexperience, youth, and a sundry other aspects won over his effort. Things will look up... a bit... in the next chapter, though. I will post it once my beta-reader returns it to me. Hopefully you will also like it. Thank you for taking time to comment on each chapter! The reviews are much appreciated.

Great, GREAT second chapter! Your description for Fingon was perfect and I loved it, especially how he reacts to Erestor. :)

The only disappointment is that I can't read more! ;-) I am looking forward to more chapters from you, and soon. . .(hint, hint. Nudge, nudge.) ;D

Hope everything is going great!

Author Reply: Ah... Updates... Sorry, it can't be helped. I have sent the third chapter to my beta-reader to be fixed two days ago, but the returned one is not in my E-mail inbox yet. Well, then again, beta readers are not exempt from the evil that is procrastination. :) I experience it too while betaing other's work. LOL I'm glad you are excited about this story, though. (Me too!)

I am always afraid that one day a reader will find that Fingon's sharp change in mood makes the scene look disjointed... After all, it is my own opinion of it. Always, when someone commented about that scene, I was both curious and glad that the statement was not there. Weird, no? *shrug* Dunno...

Mmm. Before I go into a more confusing rant about self pity...

Thanks for reviewing. I will post the third chapter (called "Substitution" ;)) as soon as m y beta has returned the chapter to me and I have re-editted it. I beg for your patience... :)
