You know...I'm not usually into straight-out slash stories, but I must admit that this is so fucking intelligently written I had to say something. You make sex beautiful and not ugly and mechanical. As for those flamers, this is your story and you can write what you like. FF.net has its terrorists, but don't let them bring you down. Trust me, I've gone through those people myself. "Hey! so-and-so doesn't act like that blah blah whine whine bitch bitch" The best thing to do is to realize that you have fans and that these people (like this person who flamed you) probably has no talent in writing of her and and feels that she has to attack people that do. So do not be mad. Pity her for being an uneducated, no-talent moron and update!! :)

Hi! Yes, I'm the author, but I needed to address something. If you're reading the reviews there is one where the person refers to my fic as slash. Slash is SAME-SEX sexual conduct. I only write HET (HETEROSEXUAL). I have nothing against slash, I just don't write that. Just needed to clear up the apparent confusion. Any questions you CAN e-mail me directly. Hope you enjoy the story, I know I'm loving writing it. ;)

Whoa, calm down, I guess I should clarify myself. I didn't mean it as the writing isn't good, on the contrary, you write very well. And also, I didn't realize there was a first part to the story until yesterday. (which I read and liked) I'm very sorry for my bluntness, I was not meaning to flame because you write very well. I was just surprised when I read the discription of Janessa. But, like I said, I read the first stoo noo now I understand this one. My sincerest appologies. Next time I'll get my facts straight.

I'm enjoying the sex scenes - if you ever decide to write romance novels, yofinifinitely have a corner on the sex parts.
I also read your response to the reviewer who criticized your writing. I have to say, I understand that you would be upset that someone doesn't like your main character, but I don't think it's right to curse that person and sick all your fans on her. Perhaps the review was harsh, but she did not attack you personally or say that you are a bad person or a bad writer - as you did to her in your response. As an author myself, I understand what it's like to develop a bond with your characters and it really sucks to have someone come out and say they don't like something you write. But honestly, there will always be people who don't like the things you write and people who think your writing is awesome.
So don't let yourself get bent out of shape over a review. Sometimes even the critical reviews can help you to see things you can improve on or give you ideas for a future story. If everyone who reviewed your story onaid aid positive things, how would you ever grow as a writer? The best thing you can do is take it in stride and stay true to yourself, and by all means keep writing!

My Lord woman! This is incredible. You are a very talented writer. Your visuals are so intense it's like being right there ;).
I think I am in love with your Haldir. Athough, poor Legolas. I can't wait to read the scenes of Janessa and Legolas to see how their relationship compaires to her's with Haldir.

This story makes me want to giggle, very much lol! You write really well...I'm not allowed to write anything like this...mostly because o-auo-author won't let me, but again because I have no idea how to write stuff like this. Anyway, good job, it was really fun to read.
