Anariel and Laeriel here. We're two very cracked up teenage girls writing stories for hey! Your amusement.

Where the name came from:
Well, one day, Anariel and Laeriel were sitting around playing The Return of the King on Gamecube, and Laeriel asked a pretty stupid question about Gandalf. Anariel’s reply was: Because Gandalf is so special, (in a retarded kind of voice). If you really need to know what it sounds like, call Laeriel’s cell, (1-917)566-1441.
So yeah, that’s where ‘Special Gandalf’ came from.
Our names? Well, yeah, they're elvish and they're not the names on our birth certificates, but we like them.
If you haven't figured, we like Lord of the Rings. A LOT.

Anariel actually writes decent hobbit slash, under the pen name Aruraya. We're not sure what Laeriel is up to...
