Your stories are so clever, and you let humor shine through even in dire situations. And... that is one lucky orc! :)

Author Reply: Very lucky it was Finrod and not someone else! But the orc has no idea… thank you, Shirebound! ^^

And Cirdan is ninth, is he? Hmm. Morgoth has no idea how much his enemies are capable of doing in the end. And this little orc is far luckier than he realizes!

Author Reply: Well, Círdan does live in Beleriand’s boondocks and Morgoth’s not one for traveling. He really never does learn to stop underestimating his enemies! Thank you, Larner. ^^

that's terrible lol :D ...horrible joke XD!

Author Reply: Sorry if I misunderstand! You mean the story or the review...? But thanks for sharing what you think. :)

He almost strikes me as a dark haired Gilderoy Lockheart--a bit too much over the top! Cirdan does manage to see through the glamours, which is good!

Author Reply: Lol! Lockheart - Oh my! You’re right! But less stupid and a lot more dangerous. Suddenly I’m envisioning a disturbing Dark Lord Lockheart AU. Hehe… this thought is going to keep me entertained for a while… Thank you, Larner! :D

No wonder Cirdan gave Narya to Gandalf, rather than Saruman, when the Istari arrived in M-E; Cirdan had heard enough seductive purring from Annatar.

Never trust a fellow wearing lavender perfume - at least I wouldn't! Good for Cirdan.

An interesting and funny vignette; I did an Annatar-meets-Elrond ficlet awhile back and I love how you've characterized the Lord of Gifts here.

Author Reply: Me neither! Lavender’s a subliminal scent – a guy wearing it can’t be up to any good. ;) I’ll have to check you story out. Pretty ring-tossing Sauron fascinates me.
Thank you, Raksha! ^^

I'm really enjoying your stories. What a marvelous meeting between Annatar and Cirdan.

He might never achieve the vision, but the pleasure was all in the attempt

I think you've caught an artist's true essence in that one line.

Author Reply: Thank you, Shirebound.
Hehe, you make me sound all philosophical. You do put it beautifully, though… the thrill’s all the process. :)

This is just delightful. What a creative and fun tale!

Author Reply: I can only explain it by that it was first drafted in the shower. :P Thank you, Shirebound. ^^

Nowe's Ark! Great story! Refreshing and well-written. I love the way Yavanna breezes in and takes care of her critters. Poor Cirdan/Nowe and his helpers have such a chore; but it does all make sense.

Author Reply: I couldn’t picture Yavanna sitting by while the poor critters got drowned. And the title was too fun to resist. :D

Poor hares! Poor crewmen! And poor Massive! Heh!

Author Reply: And poor vocal chords of Yavanna too. ^_^
