"haway the Bra'" haahoo! I love irish ballads, and I like the cheiftains. what CD is that song on? I would like to hear it in 'all it's glory.' very good story, I enjoyed it very much. here is snippet if information i you mught like; elves remain in the halls of mandos for three thousand years, at the least. not revelent in the least, but interesting. and i think you should write poetry too. i never have but my sister loves to. God bless Eleiel
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, Eleiel! The song is from "The Wide World Over: a 40 Year Celebration" and the song is "Mo Ghile Maer" The verses are in English and the refrain is in Ghaelic. I'm glad you liked the story! Pentangle |

Ha, I love your humour so much! In fact, I think that my favourite lines were the 3rd and the 12th *because* the refered clearly to Middle-earthian stuff. I think the Irish would be proud, not ashamed, to know you brushed their ballad so. I thought, and have said before, you have something for words, and poetry, mark my words, is one day going to find you out. Be wary- it becomes addictive and people like to fawn over it. Trust me... even if the stuff stinks, people will go berzercs! You, I could see no problem. Please, try writting some at a close of a story, or something. Make it fun, or sad, or even in response to this, make it rhyme! It's pretty fun. Pleading,

Ok, I demand it of you to not make me cry. This was beautiful. I first found it on Fanfiction and ate it. I tried to remember Ecthelion from my reading of the Silmarillion, but couldn't. Glorfindel has always stood out to me, maybe for the liking of him in the Lord of the Rings, even though it is never said of them to be one and the same, I just like to think so. (I mean, has Ecthelion ever stood up to the Nazgul?) Your Estel is wonderful, making it hard for me to imagine you not being thirteen yourself. Glorfindel is a marvel, I love how you set this up, having the Sil mixed in to a piece that people who never read it can understand, looking through Estel's eyes and Glorfindel's grief. You, through this alone, prove that you may be rightly egotistical- I mean you deserve to think well of yourself. This is spectacularly stunning! Ever your fan,

| Wonderful, simply wonderful. I was so startled by Glorfindel and the way he treated Estel and admired Estel for having the courage to go back to him and sit with him and be a true friend. Very nicely done! |

Awwww! Glorfindel/Estel male bonding. I really love how you write Estel as a teenager - showing much of the characteristics we love about Aragorn, but being a kid in many aspects still. That makes him very endearing. And the humour, I definitely love the dry humour that weaves through your stories!
Author's Response: Thank you, Michelle, you are always so kind. I like working with teens so that's probably why I enjoy writing young Estel so much. And thank you for the praise for the humor. I think that's one of my worst areas so I appreciate the encouragement! Pentangle |

I like the story, you inter-wave the past and the present so well that the reader thinks he really sees Gondolin before him. And the thought that Estel warms the Balrog Slayer´s heart is sweet. Glorfindel is rarely shown as a living and feeling Character but rather as just the "balrog slyaer", so, thanks for writing this nicce story about Glorfindel as a true and emotional being. Thanks for sharing! :o)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the kind review! I've wanted to do a Sil story for a while but not really *in* the Sil. The Fall of Gondolin is one of my favorite parts and of course, everyone loves Glorfindel. He's a bad and good character to write about. Bad 'cause we really know so little about him and good because we can just make it all up! thanks again! Pentangle
