Your writing is wonderful, I'm really captured and taken in by the story and can't wait for it to continue! Great job!

I've been half-following this as you've posted it (unfortunately the bulk of your posting has been during times when I've had limited internet), and I have to say that I really like what you're doing with it! I do know that I could turn to ff.net and get the ending, but I don't particularly want to spoil myself and all of the complications and developments of the characters and plots is much more fun to watch unfold anyway. This is pretty much what I would imagine would happen if Jane Austen ever started writing about elves. ^_^

Anyway I'll try to get back to some earlier chapters and comment on them if I have time, as this story needs far more reviews than it currently has!

Author Reply: Aw shucks, Celeritas! I need to return the favour.

It's pretty cool being compared to Jane Austen. :D This is my first attempt at romance - I usually write angst or horrorfics. I'm very glad people like it. :D

I should have commented earlier, because I am enjoying this story very much. Celebrian seems to be having way to much fun playing matchmaker. It will be fun to see how you manage to weave Glorfindel into falling in love. As always, I look forward to the next chapter.

Author Reply: Thanks, Bluetang.

This story was pretty much driven by reviews on fanfiction.net. I teased the daylights out of my readers and they responded with great and groovy suggestions which I applied to the story. I had tons of fun writing this, and was glad to be able to add to Celebrian fanon.

Feisty!Celebrian I got from Nilmandra, along with her passionate love for Elrond and tendency to being emotional. I thought it would be fun to explore the lives of the ladies of Rivendell, and make them interesting without making them warriors. A comedy of manners was the result, and I thought that efforts at matchmaking would provide a few laughs.

The weaving and making of clothes is what noble ladies, including royalty, used to do back in the day.

I'm very glad you like this. :D
