Hi Matnie I enjoyed your story Ernil i Duremmen. I enjoyed this story as well. Its not often there are stories about the Ents and Celeborn as a child. You can see why he is Celeborn the Wise. Galathil

There aren't many Ent stories at all, are there :) But I noticed when Celeborn and Galadriel met Treebeard in LotR there was a sense that they'd known each other for ages and ages, and I rather ran with that idea. Also I'm very glad you can see why he's called 'the wise.' That's actually one of the main reasons why I wrote him. He doesn't really seem very wise in LotR, and I wanted to show how he got that name. Thank you!

I loved the dialogue you wrote for Celeborn and Treebeard. You have this way of inserting the exposition part so very discreetly. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you! Treebeard was great fun to write, though this was him in his rather more hasty youth :)

Oh, I love Treebeard! You write him wonderfully. He is so Entish :) Celeborn is so young here - so alive and curious and full of adventure. You have shown us clearly his attachment to Middle-Earth - his ties and love for it. His whole life he lived there and always there was more to see and to love. I still think of him as an untame lion. Very nice (and my entry is coming; it will be late but is not forgotten!).

This is a charming encounter, thank you. :) I always adore your Celeborn, and your Treebeard was magnificently characterized.

Amazing. This is incredibly beautiful. Your words are elegant and moving, and your description make it all but palpable. I am frankly in awe at this moment. Celeborn, so often ignored or disregarded shows true majesty in this story. Treebeard is lovely! I laughed with happiness, you made him seem so real. Thank you so much for giving this to the world.
