I wanted to express my appreciation for the History Lesson Stories. I am in awe of your writing, the story you wrote was a wonderful companion for Professor Tolkein's works. I felt like an elfling learning wonderful lessons.

Author Reply: Thank you so much, Kathleen! I am glad you liked the story and really glad you let me know so. I appreciate it :D

Dang you! Here I had to read another chapter that's just as lovely and readable as the first! I love the energy of the twins- they're absolutely adorable- and in a different way I'm in love with your Elrond. I just... am. He's so cool and there's so much to him. The trouble is, I'm sick and I should have been in bed half an hour ago, but I found your story instead. I'll pick it up another day, but right now I just thought I'd share some of the "aaaah! Good!" that's running through my head on reading this (and also the "Oh! That's what happened!" since there were parts of The Silmarillion I didn't get).

This is a truly delightful story! I've only read one chapter so far and I'm going to move on to the rest, but this is so beautiful and... I don't know- it's like a little gem of light that's brightened up my day. Wow!

What a great tests - with something to be learned for the one who obeys and the one who doesn't! Master Mud Monster....hehehe...cute! And Glorfindel is a something else isn't he!? Great object lesson about a difficult concept (oaths and such) at the end too! Didn't I say I'd drown you with reviews today?;) Terrific chapter, as all the others!

Whew! I wouldn't argue with that elf-lord either!:) I am thoroughly enjoying watching Elrond be "daddy" to these two little ones. And Glorfindel the teacher - good comprehensive review, to the point, and then on with the story...and it is getting really good! Once again, thank you for a well-written chapter....

Ahhhhhhh! Thank you! Not only a great story, but informative as well. I've been writing a story in which Legolas is telling of the beginnings of Arda, and have been worrying that I had misinterpreted The Silmarillion. It seems I haven't! YAY!!! Great chapter - Glorfindel is a great teacher AND storyteller. I love the twins almost ending up in his lap as the story unfolds! :)

Just started this and it looks like I'll be staying late today:D!!! I write lesson plans weekly and have to say I know how the twins' tutor feels! However, it doesn't bother me a bit to throw them out. I love Glorfindel's approach...those "teachable moments" are the best for active, easily bored kids (third graders;), OMG, are the worst!) You are right on with what those twins need to learn their history...(my class acted out the fall of the Roman Empire when we started the Middle Ages and actually remembered it later!)...and involving Elrond is great for all concerned! I do love it when the elves get a little (or a lot) amorous - you do those scenes quite well ;)! Way cool story -will try not to drown you in reviews today! Thank YOU!

Author Reply: Hello Linda, I don't think its possible to drown a fanfiction writer in reviews. Its more like soul food for the muse :D. Glad you like the first few chapters - they are the intro and then we get into the story of Elrond after that. I hope you continue to enjoy it!

Thank you.

Seems a bit inadequate ... but :)
