| Indy, I just wanted to leave you a note letting you know how much I've enjoyed this whole fic. It's a concept that hasn't been done too often (I've seen briefer treatments, I think), and I loved how it actually looked into the realistic consequences of Maglor's return, especially old friends and his wife (!). This is definitely on my list of MEFA noms for 2011, but I wouldn't be surprised if I got beaten out! Author Reply: Thank you so much! Honestly, part of the reason I wrote RAFA was because I hadn't seen any novel-length stories dealing with it! Plus, for me, the interesting part wasn't that he returned, but his and others' reactions to it. So I'm glad you love the consequences. This is definitely on my list of MEFA noms for 2011, but I wouldn't be surprised if I got beaten out! This made my day. :D Again, I'm glad you enjoyed it! | |

| I hate the Valar!!!!! They are a bunch of supposedly "known it all" but they are prejudice and petty. I HATE THEM!!!!! How dare they fault poor Maglor and not punish severely the ones who are really responsible????!!!!! I still considered the actions of the Valar and the inhabitants of Valinor to be deplorable, but mostly those of the Valar, since they are not ruled by sentiments and emotions like the elves. They claimed to have learned their lesson on interference from their actions with Feanor, but they clearly have not and they also have not learned to not mistreat someone and push them to do things they would not normally do, those INTERFERING BASTARDS!!!!!! Author Reply: I have never understood the Valar's actions in regards to the House of Finwë myself-- I consider them just as much to blame for what happened as I do Fëanor himself. (And I *like* Fëanor.) I don't hate the Valar, however, I just dislike them. Thing is, in the course of RAFA, Maglor's under some pretty heavy restrictions, and they couldn't turn a blind eye to him getting involved in an altercation in Alqualondë. On the surface alone, it looks bad. But they assumed the worst rather than waiting to find out the truth, and didn't really want to listen, no matter that the majority wouldn't blame Maglor. | |

| Poor Maglor. I hope the Valar aren't too hard on him. Author Reply: Poor Maglor indeed. | |

| And more cliffies! You're making a habit of this. Love how the story's developing though, and the thoughtfulness you're putting in to the different cultures and cities. Thank you. Author Reply: The story worked best that way, scene break-wise. I'm really glad you appreciate the differences. I can't imagine Valinor being homogenous. There's too many peoples with their own histories and cultures. | |

| Now that's a rotten place to leave the story - I hope you'll let us know what happens next soon. I find I can read this story without even noticing the style or the punctuation or anything - which is a very high compliment. It seems completely natural and fitting. Thank you for sharing. Author Reply: Soon. :) Can't guarantee when, though-- it's with a beta. That's an awesome compliment indeed! Thank you so much! :D | |

| I love how this story is growing, and how you have created such a logically and carefully imagined society in Aman. I've got a horrible feeling you're going to kill Tirn though. Author Reply: Aww, thank you! I'm really glad you think Aman's society is logical. The only way pets in my fics die is old age. | |
