Poor, poor Elrohir. Our Leggy sure has a disposition problem at the moment (but who wouldn't in his condition!). Thank you for the update, I enjoyed it (especially Elrohir's and Elladan's conversation).
I also want to say to you, I am so glad that you do not listen to people who's minds are closed to some things(like Mpreg). Mpreg stories can be beautiful. Some examples: The Jewell of Mirkwood by Riffraff (with Leggy and Glorfindel) and The Old Ways by Karla (with Leggy and Haldir). I applaud you for Gre Greenleaf & Imladris series, and I had hoped that this was the direction that you would take. I say Kudos to all the Mpreg writers and straight to blazes with the people who cannot appreciate someone els crs creativity. After all this is fiction, is it not?
Thank you, Eresse, and keep up the ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT work! YOU ROCK!

lmao. i can see where legolas would be a bit confused. but i'm glad that his sister helped him. ignore the flamers. if they are too stupid to figure outt tht the warning "MPREG" at the top of the first chapter really does mean MPREG, then they deserve what they get. You made it really clear that this was just humor and not a mandatory part of the story. keep on writing.

sorry to hear that apparently some of your readers don't like mpreg. I just want to show you my support and please continue this story. You can write anything that you want, its your story anyway, if they don't like it they can start their own story.

Throughout the telling of the G&I episodes, I've come to truly value theent ent of the very special author known to us all as Eresse. She has succeeded in creating a fictional tale of perfect equilibrium... skillfully balancing ideaot, ot, character depth, rhythm, vocabulary, writing-style, (Tolkien) history, drama, humor, romance, etc. Our love and esteem for Eresse's work is what prompts us to express our appreciation and views in this REVIEW section. Unfortunately, not all views are necessarily positive. I feel that I must respect that as all are free to express their feelings and thoughts. However, I firmly believe that out of respect for oneself, the author, as well as the readers, negative feedback should be conveyed in a constructive way... not destructive. Well, one can always hope, at least. I find it sad that some feel the need to manifest their discontent with harsh and disrespectful words.
I must admit that I've always steered clear of MPREG stories; though, strangely enough, as an individual, I'm quite open to new or different ideas and concepts. But, after reading Eresse's warning in this latest story of her G&I series, I didn't even hesitate in taking the plunge for this upcoming read... because I trust her and am confident that she will lead us into yet another beautiful tale. As a result, I thank her for allowing me to broaden my (reading repertoire) horizons by ensnaring me into this new ÖgenreÖ of fic.
I also wish to salute this Master storyteller (whom I like to address as Mistress Eresse) for her courage in sharing this last story with us, despite the undoubtedly expected criticism. It simply goes to show that she holds the key to good writing... doing it for oneself FIRST (and the audience/readers second). You are an inspiration Eresse... as an author, never change your fundamental self or your determined path for the sake of others. Keep following your instincts and feelings; we honor you for it.

oh I am so in love with your series, this story is no exception!
Majority of mpreg stories are not to my liking as they portray the pregnant male elf as a bit of a wuss, either always crying or acting like a girl, but I have to say you are within the minority of such writers who create an amazing story out of the mpreg concept. But that was never in doubt as you've proven to be an exceptional writer from your very first instalment of your G&I series.
I love how you have kept to Legolas' warrior instincts and the fact that he's extremely uncomfortable about this confusion to his masculinity, which makes it very believable and well written. Thanks for keeping it in character! This is exactly how I imagined a male warrior elf would react to being pregnant. And I also love how light and funny this new story is! For once I don't have to worry about getting too affected by your brilliant angst scenarios.....I can just sit back and enjoy this! Ahh....such bliss.....

Ok. I know it's been chapters and chapters since I've reviewed. For that I am very sorry. Forgive me?
Through the course of this story, you've given us laughter, tears, drama, MUCH anxiety, and so much more. For that, I (for one) thank you!
I'm not *normally* a fan of MPREG. Most times the *idea* is good, but the writing just cannot support it. I have faith that you will be one of the few who are able to support the plot with writing that will take just just a little further down the road called Fantasy.
Looking forward to the next update.

This is in no way a review, mostly cause I suck at reviews, well exceor sor squeeing out loud and truth be told this story needs one hell of a review just cause. But I get really pissed off by people who behave like idiots and express their personal thoughts on someone's story like that.
Just to be brief, Anon, you may loved this story when it started and now you don't, you apparently mislike the mpreg element. Nobody's telling you to actually stop reading but if the story it's not enjoyable to you anymore you may have to take that decisiI reI realize that you might not to want to do that, since you are expecting a grant finish to it. But and please take this seriously, you have to learn to live with the disappointment! And in the immortal words of someone who's a better writer than I am, if you don't like what's out there, write it yourself.
So stop bugging Eresse, just cause you don't like where the plot is going. It's her story and that's where she wants it to go. You may offer constructive criticism or not, but leading the story where you want it to go, it's not always feasible.
And again Eresse, sorry for using this space to actually yell at someone. Thank you for you story and for all the hours of enjoyment that I got out of it.
Hugs

Well, you've been working hard for the last 29 parts des deserve to have some fun. Go for it!
Uh oh, did Elrohir wish for a child or for children? Is there another set of twins on the way? I'm glad Gimli fainted first and the hobbits had something soft to land on.
And to the second of the brave Anons, why have you "suffered through" the last three arcs? I you didn't like it why didn't you just STOP READING? Secondly, how does someone who won't even give their own name think they can speak for other people? Did you take a survey of people who have "spent 29 arcs hoping for a decent ending" to make sure that they "feel gipped"? I've read all 29 arcs hoping for a decent ending and I don't feel gipped. Speak for youself. Thirdly, just how exhaustive is your knowledge of Elvish anatomy? If it's possible for them to have eternal life or to be reborn, why not this? Tolkein established the Valar as both very powerful and occasionally capricious - look at the creation of the Dwarves by Aule. With Eru's blessing, why couldn't they manage a male pregnancy?
There is an author who doesn't know when to stop, but I don't think it's Eresse.

This is another one of those "I'm not a big fanmprempreg, but I'll read your story anyway" reviews. :P Honestly, I was a little, erm, disappointed when I heard the last story would be an mpreg story. I've never read an mpreg story before, but I just loved your series so much that I had to read this story. (Heck, you could have wrote that Legolas was a girl all this time and I still would have read it.) Even th thh this story is still short, I've grown to like it just as much as the other stories.
And it is sad to see this series coming to an end. I had a great time reading all of these stories. I hope you write more in the future.

LOL, poor Elrohir.... I feel so bad for him, to have to deal with Legolas like that... I can't wait to see how bad it's going to get, and to see what they are going to have, you know everyone is talking twins, but i think twin girls would be really funny.... havn't had those... great job
