STUPID DWARVES! IGNORINT MEN! GRRRRRRRRR! i would gladly have smacked each and every one of those %@#%&(^&%%&#! very vivid, it made me feel pitty for them and loath them at the same time.

Author Reply: Well, Rosie, I'm...sorry you feel that way. Thank you, though. Your very name suggests you might do something like that...*cough*

wow!
i'm a bit of newbie to the whole Tolkien/LOTR world, but am doing my best to catch up!
I love the way you wove this tale, so melancholic yet strangely uplifting - i too am of the "reincarnation" ranks, also believing that the Egyptians are indeed "otherworldly" (although i tend to ascribe the parallels between the Egyptian & Mayan civilisations as coming from beyond our planet - as it was partially explored in "Stargate"...too many non-coincidental similarities in their architecture which, without the aid of aerial travel, would make it seemingly impossible for two such distant civilisations to almost mirror themselves) - I also read your lament on the "Council of Elrond" about no-one reviewing your story and as a fellow member I thought it natural to support the creative ventures of like-minded enthusiasts (I am an visual artist myself!)
Thanks for entertaining my mind!

Author Reply: Thanks be! I am absoulutly thrilled to find someone who draws paralells between Egypt, the Maya and so forth. One theory as to why they are so similar is that they came from a common place...yes, they were origonally from Atlantis, which Tolkien called "Numenor" (and, though I know what it means in Elvish, I would like to point out that "Numen" is an Egyptian word.) You find so much of that in Tolkiens work he just reminds me of...well, Da Vinci or Galileo. There is a lot of fact behind LotR too, and I, along with my accomplace Gwen, am creating a web site on the matter. I still cannot believe I found someone like...well, an Initiate! Blessed be!

Flanna O'Shea? Oh? interesting! Love it! I hope that you write more stories for those of us who are at heart an Elf. Yes dearest moon sister. I will wait for the next one

Author Reply: Thanks, Ocean Gypsy. You, also need to post some of your stories so I can comment on them (or I might have to resort to drastic measures...)

awesome! I LOVE it! anyone who thinks otherwise is very blind to the truth behind your "story" ;) if ya know what I mean :)

Author Reply: Thanks, amigo. It's kinda awkward writing this story since--thanks to a certin Beorning-like director--everyone thinks of Arwen as a whiney little...yeah. I do not think of her that way, and so am trying to change that image.

How beautifully poetic is your writing. How very interesting that you draw parralles (sp?) between Luthien and Arwen, not just thoughs everyone sees, but also the suble ones, the mirroring of their sorrows and joys. I can not read all the chapters tonight (silly how RL interferes, isn't it *g*), but I will be restless until I can finish.

Author Reply: Blessed be! Thanks be so much for your wonderful comments on my story. I am trying to draw a common connection between the two characters, and in the end it will be apparant why. Thanks so much again! *Does dance of mirth, and hopes to Eru no one saw*

I absolutely loved your story, wine min. Was that the last of it? If so, that was the best ending..... We need to plan our next story sometime.
Love, Scealmaegden, the Scylding

Loved it, Mellon nin! I feel honored that you named one of your daughters after me. Luned, what does that name mean? And did you mean Rhosyn as in Welsh for rose? Just wondering. continue it please!
Love Éowyn, Gwedolyn, Ulven Gra

Author Reply: Blessed be Gwen, wine min. Thank's for reviewing. Yes, I did name one of my daughters after you, and one is named for a rose (a-l-l-e-g-o-r-y). I will continue, and in the mean time, you will have to endure your troubles. Now bear up and be the man I expect you to be!

love it love it love it! I love how you combine both stories so fluently and without being choppy.

Author Reply: Thank you, Sceald Maegden! I am trying to get my point across in a subtle undertone, and am hoping someone (aside from you, wine min,) will see the common connection. Thanks again!
