AMC--Chapter Forty-Eight

[dawn_felagund]

I am posting a day early because Bobby and I are driving up north to Hershey tonight to see Stars on Ice, and I am off from work tomorrow. And I know myself. I will not wake up until ten (maybe eleven); Bobby and I will go out to lunch; we will find ways to distract ourselves for a couple of hours. By the time I find my way onto the computer, you

I love the paragraph about the New Year and the dancers. I love that you bring primitivism into the story to remind us that these are ancient times despite the Elves’ rather advanced civilization.

I think that they may have been more primitive once, when they first arrived at Cuivienen. And there were scary things happening, so they needed a way of coping (since the Valar weren't much help. *ahem*)

But working with the different Elven cultures in this story has been such a delight for me! I've only scratched the surface, I know, but I hope to do much, much more.

(But does this mean he has some of the same ‘Peeping-Tom’ qualities of his cousin Finrod? Hmmm?)

Only where Fingon is concerned. >:^D *evil cackle*

1. Are the chapters going to get increasingly sadder?

Well, there's only three chapters left. My "Maitimo conflict" was to have him slowly lose the poise and special regard he's always treasured. As to whether he gets it back in this story.... *mum* You know he gets it back eventually, but that's all I'm saying for now. ;)

2. Will I need a hanky for the last one?

*more mum* I don't want to spoil the ending....

3. Is Findekáno going to be in the story again?

He's in the last sentence of the epilogue, iirc. ;) And he's featured prominently in one of the upcoming chapters.

4. Is Nelyo going to see Annawendë ever again?

I'll never tell.... ;)

5. Is Fëanor going to get scarier?

At last, a straight answer: Yes. :)

P.S. At first I thought the 'guest' must be Rúmil, but on second reading I really thought that Turko and Carni probably heard Feany talking to the Palantir and just thought Feany had a guest! Is there a real guest?

Oh, a third theory! Well, of the (now three) theories that I've heard about the Mystery Guest, one is correct. And it is part of Tolkien's canon why the other is not correct.

That's all I'm saying. ;)

There is something very hott about disillusioned Maitimo. So very vulnerable. Mmm. You should know that Alina and I secretly have the hotts for him. Sorry, Alina, I couldn't keep my mouth shut. You could probably figure it out, though, from our fics about him, although we do try to hide it with other characters.

*more mum* I don't want to spoil the ending....

I can understand that but think you are evol just the same.

Oh thank you, Dawn! You have made me very happy!

I'll never tell.... ;)

Unfair question, I know!

At last, a straight answer: Yes. :)

Ahh!! Yess!! Ooo! *rubs hands eagerly awaiting next chapters*

Oh, a third theory! Well, of the (now three) theories that I've heard about the Mystery Guest, one is correct. And it is part of Tolkien's canon why the other is not correct.

Hmmm!!! Very interesting! Must put brain to work guessing on this one!

*giggles* I don't mind! After all, I think that Feanor and Fingon are pretty hott too. Especially Fingon as you write him.... *wipes drool* Like in "The Speed of the End"...pretty pretty!
