Author's Response: Adoralyna, Thank you! Sorry I couldn't respond right away. I hope you continue to enjoy reading my tale of Frodo & Cara... :-)
Oops...that double posted. Sorry 'bout that, Aibrean. But you get my point. Nove
For what it's worth, I think this is a delightful little story...it's sweet, and it's nice to think that something GOOD actually happened to poor Frodo in Valinor. Stop being so darn nitpicky over details and just ENJOY the work for what it is - a nice piece of hobbit/elf fluff. I mean, really, if people can write slash, why can't Frodo fall for an Elf maiden? Sheesh...that's why it's called FICTION. Keep on keeping on, Aibrean...

There's no Elvish word for 'yes' - 'I agree' translates to 'Gerin be nau'.
I find the story quite interesting, though you'll have to forgive my winces over 'Carantaliel' and 'Figwit'.
The idea definitely has potential, however there are a few things I'd like to point out:
1. Red hair is almost non-existent among Elves (the only ones who had it were Nerdanel and three of her sons), and since nobody related to Galadriel, Celeborn or Elrond had it, genetics say that (unless her mother is a Feanorian, which is unlikely) Elladan's daughter can't have red hair.
2. What is Carantaliel supposed to mean? The nearest I can make of it is 'red-foot-maiden', which is patently unlikely for an Elf, I think.
3. 'Figwit' - I know he's quite a fan phenomenon; however, the name isn't Elvish. At all. Why not try to construct a Sindarin name for him - or check out this website.
4. 'Enedvasa' sounds like a combination of the Sindarin 'enedh' - center or middle - and the ancient Quenya 'vasa' - the Sun. If you want the name to mean 'Palace by the Sea', might I suggest 'Bar-en-Aear' (literal: Home of Sea, which is the closest I can make).
5. 'She rivals even Queen Arwen and The Lady herself'
This is very unlikely. Arwen is in the image of Luthien - the most beautiful Elven maiden. Ever.
B'sides, Galadriel has had her share of mad, lovestruck suitors: Feanor (to an extent), Celebrimbor, Celeborn. I'd say she was something out of the ordinary, certainly.
6. 'Mellonmin' is wrong! If you're in Sindarin (I'm assuming this), it's 'mellon nin', or if you want to be specific, 'meldir' or 'meldis' can be substituted for 'mellon' - meldir is masculine, meldis is feminine.
7. A Hobbit-Elf romance (it seems to be implied) is wrong on many levels.
I don't mean to be discouraging. Your grammar is quite good, and I'm wondering how this story is going to turn out.
