Wowy, the comments for this chapter are springing up so fast I can barely keep up. When I started reading it, there were no comments and now... And the replies... Dawn, how do you do it?
Pssst... don't tell Feany, but I had a major crush on Finrod a while ago, before I decided that troubled Feanorians are more to my taste. (Now why on Earth did I write that? Guess I remembered your pen-name and all)
Anyways... the thing that Carnistir is carrying is Huan? Dang! I should have thought of that!
Thanks for telling me what Carnistir's name means. Duh! It is one of those memorable ones and it totally slipped my mind because I have always referred to him as Moryo. You're right, Feanaro and Nerdanel were not always inspired when naming their children. True, his part isn't much of a bother, but Nerdanel's inspiration kind of went out after naming Makalaure(insert Hasty Riser joke here). Plus the Ambarto thing really creeped me out.
*The difference is that, now, he still maintains the ability to see when his temper gets the best of him and try to correct his failings. Later, that's not going to happen as easily.*
Yea, I know, Feanaro has a terrible temper, but I live in a cozy little fiction dream-world where he is perfection incarnate, the Gift of Eru, greatest and fairest of all the Eldar,yatta, yatta(don't let him read this, it'll go straight to his... umm... head)... and I loved him in your story so far. I don't want to see him getting assy and all. Eh, I need a new obsession, and fast!
For my kind of Feanaro, in a way that twists cannon so little that you won't believe it, read Paradise Lost on ff.net. If you've read it, tell me, is it not amazing?
Gook luck with NaNoWriMo! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Lol! I. Don't. Know. ;D
My husband--wonderful, patient man that he is for putting up with me--always snickers behind his hands at me on Fridays. He knows that on Posting Friday, I will be on the computer for most of the day, answering comments.
But I love it. That's why I do it. I've learned so much from the people who write into my LJ; I am really grateful to every one of them. I'd give up lots of things before Posting Fridays and the chaos that follows after! :)
Oh, and it helps that I have a job that could be done by an untrained monkey, where both of my bosses have already left for the day (it is precisely noon, over here), leaving me to play on the Internet and work on my NaNo story as much as I want. (Not that I don't do that when they're here too....)
Pssst... don't tell Feany, but I had a major crush on Finrod a while ago, before I decided that troubled Feanorians are more to my taste.
:D I still have a crush on--as Jenni (digdigil) and I have come to call him--the 'rod, even after discovering the Feanorians. I adopted the name "Felagund" because I have more in common with him than any of the other characters. Oh, and I thought it'd be cool to be a Lord of Caves. Really.
Anyways... the thing that Carnistir is carrying is Huan?
Actually, no. Huan doesn't come into this story. Probably, he'll be in the next installment, whenever that makes its glorious arrival into the world. (I've begun prewriting in my head, but not much else.) And that's all I'm saying about what Carni is carrying. I'll leave it for next week. >;-]
Plus the Ambarto thing really creeped me out.
I deny the existence of that story. Really. It is one of the main reason that I wave my "HoMe Is Not Canon" flags as hard as I do. Everything about it--especially Feanor's reactions and the fact that Amrod (or whichever one lived; my denial won't allow me to remember) just stalked away and went on living--no. No. No. No. I like both my twins alive and well, thank you!
I don't know if I've read "Paradise Lost" or not. The server at Pit of Voles appears to be down at the moment. Grrrr.... If I haven't (and I've read all the Feanorian Silmfic on there except recent additions because I simply have no time), then I will definitely check it out. You have me intrigued.
Gook luck with NaNoWriMo! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Thank you! It's going great so far! The moment I reach 50K will be the moment heard around LJ, so you'll be sure to know. ;)
