Oh, poor Glorfi! Does Elrond have any convinient rocks for him to crawl under and hide? Hm, yes, Erestor does have a lot to answer for! Lynda

I think this is wonderful. Poor Glorfindel, yet another inaccurate song. This is one of the many reasons I don't want to be famous.

This is so very good. The rhyme scheme and rhythm track so nicely...I do fear for Erestor, :) :) :) Vi

That was an absolutely adorable story. I loved every minute of it. Thanks for the laughs. ~ Carol ~

I read the "more historically accurate", version but still found I preferred your "hysterically accurate" form. Thank you. The older I get, the more events from my younger days I would prefer to let slide into obscurity - how much more would an elf have to ponder? And an elf pre-stamped with "Hero, Balrog-slayer, living legend" would probably overhear more than one "discussion" on his life/prowess. Thank you!.

This was truly funny! The poem itself was completely Tolkienesque in tone, rhythm, and use of words. You captured the earnest nature of young Estel's hero worship beautifully. I could just see him warming to his subject as he approached the great contest with the Balrog. And the humorous struggle between Glorfindel and Elrond was a gentle echo of the heroic fight; a good story-telling technique. But I liked the poem in its context best of all. Very nice job!

Brilliant!!! Poor Glorfindel - it had me laughing. I'd always wondered how much of the great songs would have been made up, I suppose it's like *our* heroes - Robin Hood and all that lot, except that he's not around to correct them :D I'd love to find out what Glorfindel's revenge was...

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glorfindel's reactions were sooooooooooo funny! I loved it! =D Liniya Melren

Hi, Antogone! snort! Poor Glorfindel... but I hope Erestor will get his one time, too. This was very amusing and very well written, and I can see it happen in the "Light In May" universe anytime, too. Very funny! Thank you! Aislynn

Elena Tiriel · 21 January 2004 · Chapter 1: Glorfindel Fair

Wow, Antigone, that is incredible! I am impressed that you wrote that whole song yourself -- very nicely done! But what I especially love is your imaginative glimpse into a scene that might well have happened, but no one has written about before. Glorfindel's reactions seem just right, and I can just see Estel being so proud of himself! Very funny! Thank you! - Barbara P.S. A subtle hint to your Muse: I, too, would love to see a sequel where Glorfindel confronts or takes revenge upon Erestor...

"A crown of flowers?" muttered Glorfindel incredulously, "While fighting dragons? And those towers were made of pure stone!" Ah, the poor, poor Lord of the House of the Golden Flower! Oh, my! I loved this. I am sure everyone will be screaming for you to let us know what Glorfy does to Erestor. Include me in that horde. I also particularly like his righteous indignation that he would have left the rear "undefended". I am with you on pronunciation. As far as I can determine from Tolkien, this would be the way to go. I also do the same with Erestor and Mithrandir.

The Blind Guardian · 21 January 2004 · Chapter 1: Glorfindel Fair

wow! this was great! i really really loved it! and the poem was mesmerizing! your writing style is beautiful and your vocabulary is rich and wonderful!

Kal · 20 January 2004 · Chapter 1: Glorfindel Fair

Poor Glorfindel; it must be awful to have to sit through people singing praises to you. o.O A crown of flowers... while fighting fire-breathing dragons. Oh yes, a crown of flowers is most DEFINITELY what I would want to wear while doing so. [/sarcasm]

daw the minstrel · 20 January 2004 · Chapter 1: Glorfindel Fair

I am so impressed that you can write a poem of this length! Or of any length for that matter. I have to admit I have been pronouncing Glorfindel's name with the emphasis on the first syllable, but I kind of like the sound of the way you do it.

Nilmandra · 20 January 2004 · Chapter 1: Glorfindel Fair

I have been trying to review all morning, but the Golden One wouldn't let me! He is in as much of a state as he is in your story! I loved it - and I do not believe this is a 'songfic' - you wrote it yourself (awesome, by the way) and your character is singing it. Much like Avon's story 'Red and Green Leaves' - I think this is an appropriate use of song in a Middle-earth story.

LOTR lover · 20 January 2004 · Chapter 1: Glorfindel Fair

Oh, yes, I can just imagine that Glorfindel would be tired of hearing about his death! Good poem, though, and little Estel singing it is so cute. I love Glorfindel's interruptions, and his being shushed by the others. And I'm sure Erestor will eventually get his....

runaround · 20 January 2004 · Chapter 1: Glorfindel Fair

absolutely hilarious and way too cute. I wanna know about Glorfindel's revenge on Erestor

Miriel · 20 January 2004 · Chapter 1: Glorfindel Fair

LOL...knowing the story of Gondolin from the Book of Lost Tales, I must say it was humerous to read this rendition of the tale. :-) I loved this! Thank you.

Lairewen · 20 January 2004 · Chapter 1: Glorfindel Fair

A sequel! This needs a sequel! I want to see Glorfindel get revenge on Erestor! That was so funny and the poem was great! When I first read the history of ME and found how Glorfindel fell, I always thought it was somewhat embarassing! That captured it perfectly!
