i LOLed so much at this! Truly amazing piece of work, and its reminding me of all the stuff we did in science this year!

I agree with the review of my collegue, but I noticed the lack of proper quotation and references in your article. If you are interested in publishing in scientific magazines like Wizard's Science and Elven Nature, you should use the quotation according to the effective standard. Thank you for your contribution to the science of Middle-Earth.

I have discussed the science of Middle-Earth with another writer, but we're not into experimentation yet... Anyway, this is the funnies one-shot ever read on this site. I am a biochemist myself, and I loved the scientific description of the procedure ! :D
Especially liked the passage:
"1 rope netting (*note: Elf escaped)
1 tranquilizer dart (*note: Elf escaped)
1 spear (*note: Elf escaped)
1 steel trap (*note: Elf avoided)"...

i laughed at M.C Capture Tactic,
fell down when hair and eye colors were mentioned.
my tummy ached when you explained why elves glow,
and i died when you tackled "reproduction".
i blame you for killing me.

that was FANTASTIC. oh, wow. i started laughing out loud when you described that Mary-sue capture-tactic, and i completely busted up when you started talking about Elven reproduction (budding! can you imagine Legolas walking around with a little elf head sticking out of his leg or something?!) this story was very creative and well-written and wunderbar! a thought just occured to me - would you mind if i wrote a small ficlet based on this (for example: The Fellowship is walking through Lorien, when suddenly, without warning, legolas reproduces by fission)? if you have an objection, i will certainly respect it, but it sure would be fun to write about.
by the way, you are wonderful, in case you didn't get that.

HAHAHA this reminds me of everything I'm doing in Biology! My favorite part was the reason elves glow, it's *perfect.* Maybe they are descendants of mollusks!

LOL! This is a work of genius! And 'Telerius galadh'... how clever ;) Hehe, poor Legolas, he went from being a lust object to being a science experiment!

LOL. This is unbelieveble, you can really tell you're into biology. Wonderful job! Oh, and the Mary sues=)

Now I understand why you study biology...

A ver nice good-night-story, now I REALLY have to go to bed.

Ehehehe. Very good. Asexual indeed.

What did you do to my legolas?
Sorry, tend to be rather protective of my elf, dear lord I would make such a good Mary Sue that its scary. Apart from the fact that I'm not pretty enough to be a mary sue, and I doubt I have enough charm to attract a goldfish, let alone legolas, alas.
Anyway, despite significant harm done to my elf, this was an extremely humerous fic.

Brilliant! Simply brilliant...hurrah hurrah! Though I hate to hear that you had to shoot Legolas.

*sad face*...oh well, it was for SCIENCE! *fanfare*

Great story. Have you thought about doing a similar fanfic thingie about dwarves and hobbits? That would be cool too! ^_^ *wink, wink*

That is cool. Good Work.

Hilarious! OH man! How unique and absolutly...fascinating. I loved the Mary Sue approach...maybe I should try it and just keep him alive all to myself. *rubs hands together* He he he he he h Erm.*cough* Just wanted to let you know I loved it and haven't read anything anywhere near it. Bravo!

ahahahaha!Congratulations on a great fic. That was *snorts* *giggles* awesome! :) I'll be reading more of your stories, look out for me and run for your life! ;). cya.
