Elf Academy 3: The Enemy Within  by Fiondil 13 Review(s)
KevanaReviewed Chapter: 3 on 1/6/2014
It would be so thoroughly useful to be able to make people conk out on the floor when they try to come near you, mwahaha. That, and one of Námo's spiral teleportation maze-thingies, and I'd be all set. *evil grin*

I'm so happy to get to see more of Nick in this story. I really like him so far. Poor guy, Elves are not just particularly quirky Abercrombie and Fitch models, are they? And he did not realize – when he hired Finrod he got the rest of the family as well, LOL! What they did for him was so sweet. I cracked up at the shoe store reference. (And at Finrod getting smooched on at midnight – I can just imagine the look on his face.)

I love seeing little slice of life type chapters like this one, where they're making friends and getting to know each other. It's particularly entertaining!

Great chapter to liven up a dreary Monday morning, Fiondil! At least it's *just* dreary down here and not frigid as well, so I count my blessings. How was your barbecue in balmy 36-degree weather, hmm? ;)

Eagerly awaiting the next update. Take care,
-Kevana




Author Reply: Hi Kevana. It's pretty mild here at the moment, in the 40s, but tomorrow will be the zinger with dangerous wind chills (anywhere from -20 to -32 depending on where you are). And I didn't indulge in a barbecue myself, but I wouldn't have been surprised if others did.

Anyway, slice-of-life chapters are fun to write and show the ordinariness of life even for Elves.

Glad you like Nick. We'll be seeing more of him, of course, now that Finrod is working for him. I thought the shoe store reference funny, too, and Finrod getting kissed indiscriminately by whoever was nearest must've been a fun sight to behold. I bet the Mortals who dared had a good time, too.

Anyway, thanks for leaving a comment. It's always appreciated.

I love your writing. I enjoy reading the way you write the characters, they are so well thought out and consistent. I have been following your stories for a few years now and have reread a few. I was delighted to find a new elf academy story and I am eagerly looking forward to each new chapter.

Author Reply: Hello Gitte. I'm so glad to know you have been enjoying my stories, especially the Elf Academy series and the fact that you've even reread some of them is great. Thank you for letting me know. I really appreciate it.

Am I first? Wow! That never happened before! Anyway, a lovely New Year celebration.
Poor Nick,realising that Elves need so little sleep! Sometimes it would be practical to be an Elf,too.
But now I'm curious if the Elven cook-out will really remain undisturbed.Knowing you,it's rather unlikely. ;)

Author Reply: Yep. You're the first, Soledad. LOL! Glad you liked the New Year celebration. And like most of the Mortals in Wiseman, Nick is still getting used to Elvish ways. We'll see what happens at the cookout in the next chapter. Thanks for reding and reivewing. It's much appreciated.
