This was the most I have laughed at a fanfic for a really, REALLY long time, so THANK YOU :D

Legolas was so virtuously 'evil' in this story, that I couldn't stop reading. It's a much better characterization than him being some sappy, love-stricken elf who's forced to play second fiddle. I just loved all of the plays on words that Legolas uttered: he's on his own side; he would get Aragorn to dress appropriately without the Man needing much persuasion; etc.

This was a great story, with witty reparte and was nicely paced.

This little jaunt has been greatly entertaining. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing you gift of writing and of humor!

I spent this chapter laughing nearly non-stop. So much witty banter between the twins and Legolas! I envy your ability to write that.

"Legolas gave him his "Thranduil Look," which on he for whom it was named generally forecast hell and damnation, while on Legolas it just made one think of kittens with their backs up in the face of very large and unruly badgers."

...what a beauty of a description. Your writing is wonderful!

Bwahahahahahahaha! Oh, that was a wonderful story! Legolas was just so delightfully clever and sneaky. And I do think Aragorn has some sort of genetic scruffiness factor, considering how messy he manages to end up a lot of the time even though he was raised by elves. And all of the other characters were delightfully portrayed as well. ^_^

lovely.
although i found some of the elves' speech to be rather complicated a tad awkward (especially closer to the beginning) i thought that you did a great job with the elves' personalities and characters.

well done!

I loved this story - the humour was very well done, and I love your imagery of Legolas. Please write more with Legolas and the children of Elrond.

Oh, I can just imagine Legolas getting stares!

And I loved that you paid homage to Thranduil's ability to keep his people safe without a Ring.

LMFAO hannon le for that AMAZING story...lol but now my parents think im a freak for randonly bursting out into fits of laughter seemingly for no reason ... the scene with Legolas in the bathing chamber was PRICELES...omg...wel im off to read your other storys

This is a fanfic classic, and I think I could read it a thousand times and still laugh out loud (my roommates keep giving me odd looks at my outbursts of giggles) You are the the ultimate of one-liners, and so quotable!
"celair-heneb" cracked me up

"I might also hope that Curunír will suddenly dance around the corner dressed as a rabbit, distributing flowers and candy to deserving Elflings"

Bwahahahahahahahaha. THAT is one of about 35 reasons I love this story. I stared it expecting some kind of Very Secret Diaries re-cooked and found instead a lively and wonderfully silly piece of writing. Well done!

This story is great not only because of the humor, but also because of the glittery richness of it. Lovely details. You can see the robes that Legolas, Elrond, Arwen, etc. are wearing, and you can also see the Twins covered in mud...::snicker:: Anyway, I loved your story and I eagerly await the Return of the Scruff.

P.S. I loved the bit about Curunir/Saruman and the Easter Bunny.
^_^

Excellent job!
I almost fell off my chair from laughter!
The amount of reviews is amazing considering the number of chapters. There are longer stories that barely reach 200 reviews!
(claps) indeed a great job!

Scruff Factor, Part the Sixth: The Return of the Prince

made Orcs and Uruk-hai decide to slit their own throats and save themselves the trouble.
[Though this is funny, I feel the need to point out that at this point in the canon world of Middle Earth, Uruk-hai didn’t exist yet. I'm fairly sure they didn't.]

Elrond paused mid-step and turned, looking far more dangerous than either son had seen him look in quite some time. Their matched gulps were almost audible.
[It is _scary_ how you pick out so many moments of everyday life to throw in, I was in that exact position several times.]

(though there was absolutely no doubt in Elladan's mind that said outfit had been cleaned within an inch of its life since then).
[Please excuse me as I nearly die laughing.]

His face, of course, was the picture of wounded sweetness...
[The beauty of the simplicity here was awe-inspiring.]

You look--astonishingly well-groomed and every inch a masterful Man.
[By the surrounding structure, I think that a small pause belongs after “look”, but shouldn’t that be indicated with an ellipsis instead of an extended hyphen indicating abrupt change?]

"Come along, you two--we do not want to keep everyone else waiting," he said, in his best command tones. "Elladan--go clean up.
[Again, I think ellipses belong instead of extended hyphens.]

"Neither said nor did"-- Elladan looked as if he were ready to have some sort of stroke. "How--what--you cannot say that!"
[Again, I see extended hyphens when it seems from the structure that ellipses belong.]

"Well--but--then what was all that nonsense about you having a Plan,
[Extended hyphens instead of ellipses?]

"You even went so far as to ask me whose side I was on--do you recall what I replied?"
[This is closer to what might be a sharp break, but if it’s supposed to be a ‘trailing off pause’ then an ellipsis would fit better.]

"And--the point of all this was--what?"
[Extended hyphens instead of ellipses?]

"You misbegotten little Moriquendi git," he said, in tones approaching amused reverence.
[You’ve done it again. Excuse me as I pull myself up off the floor.]

"You just wait until I figure out which way you'll jump with this--trap?
[Extended hyphen instead of ellipsis?]

Scruff Factor, the Epilogue:

Glorfindel was ready, in fact, to swear he had seen four Uruk-hai and three Mordor archer Orcs do precisely that at Dagorlad—and Elrond had not even been speaking directly to them.
[As incredibly funny as this is, I again have to ask: did Uruk-hai make an appearance this early? It was my understanding that they didn’t come into existence until after Saruman began creating them after he began making his own designs to take the One Ring after the fellowship departs following this story.]

Glorfindel raised an eyebrow of his own, careful to do so on the opposite side from Elrond’s, lest the room be out of balance somehow.
[That was hilarious.]

You know how I depend on you and your brother to be my eyes and ears in the realm.”
[Another moment to roll on the tile, laughing.]

“That—did not come out as intended,”
[Extended hyphen instead of ellipse?]

Translations:
[Again, I must state that I greatly appreciate the fact that you’ve conveniently included an appendix of translations attached to the end of the chapter(s). Good form.]

This entire work was an excellent read, it was funny and had its share of good drama, along with time after time of clothing descriptions that I will be recommending to people for a long time. Aside from a very few minor technicalities here and there, the story was virtually without flaw, and has most definitely earned a place of recognition in my favorites list, recommended to the world.

God bless and happy writing,
Ganheim

I've just read this for the millionth time, and yet again it's made me laugh constantly. I've commented you on Dark Leaf before, but this is awesome too, and although I read your profile, I cannot help but ask if there is anything coming anytime soon on DL or the sequel to this... I really can't wait! So many questions (ie will Legolas still win!) etc, but I'll end by just complimenting you...it's well written and hysterically funny...thank you!!
