*winks at Shana* The rollercoaster has left the building!!!!! You have outdone yourself with coupling gymnastics. Good thing I know you so I now apply the towel warning to everything you write. I had to read the scene a few times to get the positioning correct (hated every minute of it..lol). Of course, this was for purely educational purposes. *tries to keep a straight face and look innocent (but failing miserably)* I'm glad you like it in Washington. Maybe we will be neighbors soon.

Hello there!

Before I start babbling I would like to say that I’m Brazilian, so please forgive me for butchering the entire English language : )

Girl you are really talented! Rainien tells me about your wonderful work all the time and I had to read it. I began with Twisted (which I’m going to review separately another time) and then I ended up reading The Crux of the Problem. I have to say that this story is waaaaaaay much better than Twisted in my opinion. I don’t know if it’s because I think Haldir is much more interesting than Legolas, or if it was the perfect time of the plot, or the love scenes (erotic beyond all reason)... The list of reasons has no end…

It’s incredible the way you come out with a song that fits perfectly with the scene you’re describing. son song is like another character in your story. And the fact that I know all of the ones you chose until now contributes for me to get into the mood of the scenes more easily. I play them on my computer, and sing along, and dance like crazy…

Talking about dancing, the scene where Janessa remembers her Ballet classes meant a lot to me, because I’ve danced ballet for over 10 years now and I had a tough time to conciliate the dance, my work and the college. I almost gave up on it, but I love dancing, is a part of what I am. When I wear a pointe shoes, is just as you said: a sweet torture. I just couldn’t live without it and so I kept practicing it. Fortunately, my teachers never complaint about my weight (and I’m over weighted for a baldancdancer), so I could enjoy the pleasures of dancing completely without anybody pissing me off.

Before I end this looooooong review I would like to tell you that I don’t know why people are so hard with you in their reviews. These fanfictions are yours alone, those people don’t have the right to criticize you in such low ways. If I were you, I wouldn’t stop writing this fiction (The Crux…) because of the flamers. It would be giving them the victory. Tell them to shove it! Tell them to go kiss an orc! You should continue to write as you will, telling these wonderful stories that come from your imagination and from your own life. Don’t stop because of these jackasses. Unfortunately, I’m not pierced or tattooed (My doctor forbid me because I have a terrible cicatrisation problem), but be sure that you have my entire support!

A big hug from the (unfortunately) not pierced or tattooed,

Sorry to hear of your diffculties. I just wanted you to know I really enjoy your stories and think you are a gifted writer. Hang in there!

I am so sorry for this difficult time in your life. I hope that you don't mind if I pray for your continued strength and singsings. I too and having some tribulations as some would call it at this time. Sometimes all we can do bow to the absurdity of all and know that we have NO choice but to continue. Shalom!!!

Hey I read this story on ff.net, but I'm so glad I came and read the full version here. I hope you can continue to write, hang in there. It's always darkest just before the sun rises.

Just wanted to tell you that you are a very good writer. Can't wait for the next chapter. I'm new to reading fanfiction and its nice to find a good het story with Haldir and Legolas(although there are a few slash stories that are good).

Dude, you didn't load this chapter on ff.net!(That's where I originally found this story) But anyway, you should write a chapter in the story "Fantasy" where she does that same thing! Do that whole, her POV and his POV too. That would be so cool!

Hehe,agaiagain. But..DAAAAAMMMNNN, this whole this, mainly the smut scenes, that must be a painful thing(in a good way of course, and mainly the one from Chapter 2, the missing chapter that I only found after a couple days of wondering if it actually was missing...). Do more! Do more! On this, and your Legolas story(Fantasy)! That would be awesome!

...I love to see them in pain...

I just finished reading your first 7 chapters. I was appalled (don't panic I don't flame authors!! EVER) at reading your authors note! Whoever flamed you like that should be drawn and quartered! Felayed! Tied up, covered in Honey then covered with Red Ants!! My personal opinion is that if you don't like it, that is your opinion! Keep it to yourself. Constructive critisium is one thing but an out and out flame is uncalled for.

I am new to LOTR fics. I usually hover among the HP fics. In fact wrote one myself (ok I know bragging just a little) anyway.....

I LOVE YOU FIC!! PLEASE CONTINUE ON AFF SITE! I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. And on a more personal note:
You write fantastically. You have even inspried me to write one on LOTR. Haldir captured my attention in both LOTR movies, I was distraught when they killed him off. In the book he does not die!

Keep up the good work.... AND FOR THE FLAMERS.............. FU......

Wow - as a dancer (ov dec decade of ballet, modern jazz and a degree in dance) I am impressed with this chapter. "Sweet torture" is a perfect descriptive phrase for pointe work! I think the inclusion of that sequence is very intimate and adden men more depth to J & H's relationship. And the love (*cough * smut *cough* ) was fabulous as always. You are a wonderfully talented writer. I can't wait to see how things turn out for Janessa. Keep updating m'dear :)
