| What a wonderful story--both the embellished children's tale, and the other stories that lay behind it! I've always liked Gildor, Frodo's and Sam's first Elf-encounter, and I've always been curious about him! I like your take on him. Author Reply: THank you, Dreamflower. I also love Frodo's meeting with GIldor and wondered at times about the meaning of his words about the wizard...and so it began! :-) | |

| Celebrķan tells such a wonderful story -- you always have to wonder what kind of stories storybook creatures like Elves would listen to, and that is a great one. All the better, of course, for being "embellished" reality. It's lovely to see the Elves of Imladris really working to make the place a sanctuary of happiness in the middle of the dark, dangerous world where they live. Author Reply: THank you, FP. I think that elven children would have loved a tale about a shape shifter! :-) SInce the true tale did not seem appealing to me, I though of a way of embellishing it, as tales often go..and so it came the idea of the stroy teller! :-) | |

| This is a fabulous tale (fable-ous too), Perelleth, even better than the first time I read it. You do such a nice job of picking up Gildor's words and working out why he might have said them. The awe-struck children are fun to watch, and yet our knowledge of the story teller's fate lurks in the background, adding a note of melancholy. Author Reply: Thank-you again, daw. YOu seem to be the official birthday beta! :-) I had a great time figuring out the tale to go with the words, and it was a long process, since the "true" story seemed quite pointless and tension-less to me... GLad that you liked it, since you had to read it more than once! :-) | |
