| I reviewed this over on ff.net (CAH), but had to come over here and let you know again how much I am enjoying this story. Love, love, love all these characters! You almost want to feel sorry for Stubby and his friends, but since they brought it on themselves they must face the music that Beliond and Maltanaur (and eventually Thranduil) make them do! And yes, I do have soft spots for Laegcened and Maldor! Don't ask me why, but you do write them with some humor and it just leaves me wanting more! Maldor especially - you just have to write him into a story with Beliond and Maltanaur discussing their charges - and doesn't Maldor still owe Legolas over the snowball incident in 'Battles Won?' *whistles innocently* Ces Author Reply: Legolas was a little kid when that happened! Maldor blamed Eilian anyway, which is as it should be. Truthfully, I figure Laegcened didn't survive Dagorlad. But as one reviewer pointed out, death was probably a relief. He'd been trapped between Oropher and a bunch of wild Wood-elf warriors for far too long. LOL. | |

| Oh, this is wonderful! I'm reading it and giggling like an idiot. Who'd have thought Beliond - and Maltanaur - and Thranduil, for heavens' sake - could be so reckless? I love your use of metaphors: 'Beliond should have squealed like a cat deprived of its mouse.' LOL! (Though the cat wouldn't squeal - it would give a loud, angry meow. Trust me, I know.) I like this comment about Maltanaur too: 'he had to admit excitement was singing through his veins.' Now doesn't that sound like Eilian as well - no wonder he understands his charge so well! Author Reply: I've been having fun making these guys Wood-elfy--more dangerous and less wise, as Tolkien tells us. Beliond and Maltanaur are training Thranduil. :-) They all sober up as they get older and survive the Last Alliance, but for now, they're young and living in unspoiled woods. Maybe I needed a better animal than a cat. Hm. I don't know. I've been watching the puppy cam and the pups do squeal, mostly when someone bites their ear. Thanks for the review, Jay. | |
