Goodness, what a dark twist! And delivered so coolly. Very effective. Thanks for sharing.

Author's Response: Thanks.

I enjoyed this story. I really like the idea of Arwen unwittingly inspiring a misconception about elves. I also enjoyed your portrayal of her friendship with Eowyn. Thank you for sharing this piece.

Author's Response: thanks! If you're a fan of other works besides Tolkien, I've also got a lot of fanfic on fanfiction.net

Oh, I really enjoyed this chapter. It's very engaging. I'm curious to see how Melpomaen's fate as an advisor will pan out over coming chapters with Elladan's input, and look forward to your fleshing out of Erestor's and Elrond's characters and attitudes towards Melpomaen. I noticed your message that this story is on hiatus, but even so, just so you know, I'd be interested in reading more. Thanks for an enjoyable and all too brief read.

I love it when the written word creates immediate, tangible images in my head. This brief drabble does exactly that - a breathless, joyous, starved reunion. Thanks, Numenora.

Author's Response: You are so welcome and thank you for your wonderful feedback! You make me glad that I write. :)

Yes, I prefer bolded to underlined titles... though now they attract perhaps more attention than necessary... hm.

I usually put titles in just italics... but I guess that might confuse them with the thought and in-elvish sections. Maybe not, though... For your information, I had no problem discerning between thought and in-elvish. Ulp, I'm babbling and possibly making you stress. Sorry.

Author's Response: Hey, ALL feedback is appreciated. Even though I\'m really bad about comma splices I try to keep things as grammatically sound as possible. It\'s a pet peeve of mine when I read a story and get hung up on a misspelling or a typo and have to reread something to understand it. I\'m glad the italics aren\'t confusing. I had to denote thoughts somehow. Foriegn words are usually in italics in literature, too. Without underlining (which as you said is particular to links) bold text was the only way to go for book and movie titles. Glad you are enjoying the story. I\'m almost becoming obsessed with it, myself.

You just get better and better... I almost cried. 'Modern' medicine meets elvish medicine... and so beautifully handled. Beautiful work.

Author's Response: Thank you! A lot of the herblore and especially the dandelions came directly from a conversation I had with my mother. You would not believe how much feedback I\'m getting and how much it helps!

By the way, I'm very much looking forward to finding out what's with those berries. *quivers with the suspense* I can't even think of a clue! (>_

Author's Response: I hope I\'m not building it up too much, but I\'ve figured out what the berries are. You\'ll just have to wait another couple of chapters to find out.

KyaHAha! Oh my, your poor Mary-Sue... and poor Elrond. The 'It itched terribly' line cracked me up.

Good to see an elf being genuinely friendly and kind towards her (or at least not laughing at her in her presence).

Again, wonderful work.

Author's Response: In the elves\' defense, she is a filthy stray human. A stranger in bad times and she has secrets. Besides, when you find out what the berries are, you\'ll know why the elves were laughing.
