I was confused about Galelas, because wasn't he the one that Legolas got into trouble for thumping (Galelas thought that Legolas was getting special treatment when he was actually recovering from stabbing the spy)?

But then I looked at the list of stories, and they weren't written in sequence, so I guess that scene hadn't been thought of yet…

If I'd been reading these in order of publication, I don't know whether I'd even have spotted that, but I'm getting so caught up that I am paying even more attention than usual!

Author Reply: Hi, NotACat-

You're right. I didn't write these in order and sometimes I got myself in trouble because I forgot what I'd said somewhere else. Like I think somewhere I say Turgon doesn't speak Common, and then somewhere else, I show him speaking it.

Another thing that sometimes happened from writing them out of order was that I boxed myself in over who I could kill. I wrote "Question of Duty," which is about the Fellowship very early, so anyone who appeared in that was going to survive the Battle of Five Armies.

Oh well. These things happen. :) I had so much fun writing these stories that I mostly didn't care. Enjoy!

It seems Galelas has some isues with Legolas thinking he gets special treatment. And he irks Legolas, but seems Tondil stepped in. He seems a calming presents and he is likable and family too.
Legolas dosen't like to be compared to his brothers, that is hard to live up to thier repuatation...

Author Reply: It must be hard to have two older brothers AND be the king's son. The masters probably try to be fair, but it has to be difficult.
