fYr3 ph03nix 2008-03-02 ch 1,	abuseAgain like I said previously, I do no wish for Elladan and Elrohir to remain in Middle-Earth and choose to be mortal. And I like Eruanna's and Glorfindel's train of thought on that matter. I don't think I have much else to say. 'Cept that it is rather sad that Elrond quite possibly will lose all his children to mortality.
piewacket 2008-02-21 ch 1,	abuseEpilachna- I only just started reading LotR, so I am unfamiliar with the fandom. Having said that, I greatly enjoyed the tone of this story. You managed to convey a caring and long standing relationship between Eruanna and Glorfindel. Their conversation had a sense of authenticity to it, with the pauses as telling as the actual words. Good job. piewacket
Rayless Night 2008-02-14 ch 1,	abuseVery nice writing here; it has a fluidity that works well, given the subject. I like that the language is elevated without being overbearing. The mood seems very complex to me, anxious, but I also got a sense of lassitude. Nice, nice, nice. pulls out large magnifying glass she employs for concritting excellent stories Concrit: 1. Minor gramar issues. For instance: "'Oh?' he smiled." should read "'Oh?' He smiled." Smiling isn't the same action as speaking, even for Glorfindel. You do this again with "Eruanna could do naught but laugh, 'Truly?'" There should be a full stop after laugh. 2. Since it's set in Valinor, I would've liked to see a more concrete description of the place. Hearing that water was blue and shimmery wasn't enough for me to picture it. 3. I think, particularly towards the end, the prose gets too repetitive when you parallel Eruanna's and Glorfindel's thoughts. Maybe just pare that part down or focus specifically on only one of them.
Faoiltierna 2008-02-13 ch 1,	abuseI sincerely hope that their fear is only a way of making the readers cry...Valinor desperately needs orange haired ellyn and upside down wardens! (and the twins deserve to finally find peace). I read your Peredhel story in one sitting--quite riveting, thank you! I now look forward to the Valinor sequel (and more of these bridges). Let's see: Will Glorfindel find his Love? Will Erestor make peace with his past? Will Maglor sing a New Song? Will Elladan and Elrohir show up? Will Galadriel meet Celeborn's arrival with a big, passionate kiss? Will the hobbits eat and drink Valinor dry? Will Marilla finally catch Orophin's eye? Will Haldir loosen up? And of course...Will Rumil return...and if so, when?? All these questions and more...are yours to answer! And ours to enjoy the reading of! :-)
Oleanne 2008-02-13 ch 1,	abuseA wonderful glimpse at the anguish of those in the undying lands as they wait to know of the fates of Elladan and Elrohir. I liked seeing Eruanna's worries and her interactions with Glorfindel. My what foreshadowing that the twins will not sail and will chose mortality. I hope you will continue this and give us a glimpse of what the undying lands are like. I imagine they can't be boring given the number of characters there. Cheers!
Greywolf Starkiller 2008-02-13 ch 1, anon.	abuseExcellent! I was hoping we would see more of Eruanna. I really enjoyed Peredhel, a LOTR gem in an ocean of LOTR trash. :) I'm stubborn, and endure the YUK fics to find the gold, and there IS gold here, as your tale proved. Looking forward to more.
Lady Akyrial 2008-02-13 ch 1,	abuseA sequel...it is about time! You killed Rumil! This is a good start for rectifying that tragedy. Good work...keep writing.
Vanafindiel 2008-02-13 ch 1,	abuseI hope there's more to this than a one shot?
Elflingimp 2008-02-13 ch 1,	abuseIt is nice to see you writing again, I liked this story it was rather reflective but I hope you will forgive me but all I could think about was Rumil and if he would ever come back from Mandos to her ,sorry, I know it's not about that but it kept invading my mind.
Hello Anyone There 2008-02-13 ch 1,	abuseHey Good story! I often wondered at the fate of the two els. I like your style, very certain but descriptive. I like the way you prtrat Glorfndel here, disguising his true wisdom under the guise of a warrior. Update soon!
