To be honest I think this post is going to annoy you more than anything else. As you may have noticed this story had not been updated in over a month. After much thought and consideration I have decided that I can no longer continue this story, sorry.
There are many reasons for this primarily, I have changed a lot since I started writing this story and to make it how I want it a dramatic over haul would need to take place, and I don't think that I could actually do so. First off, I would have to completely change the way this story I narrated, I absolutely loathe writing in third person, I prefer first, and to change 60,000 words would to be honest be impossible, for both me and the readers, I don't think you could sit patiently and wait for me to do so.
Secondly, I'm taking my GCSE's in 4 weeks, I know they'll e over within 4 weeks after that but to be honest I don't know if I'll have time to write at the pace I used to say a year ago (once a week) I have many stories under my belt, a multitude of which are work in progresses. To be honest I prefer these stories, I feel they are better written and I just feel they flow better then this story does.
It is in truth a mammoth story to take on, I was by no means near the middle and it just seems to be going on forever, I can see no end. The ideas that I came up with a year ago now seem boring and dour, or I have seen them being used too many times on this website to even put them in, this may be fanfiction but originality is still needed.
This was a hard decision to make, I hate to let down all of the people that have been reading this, reviewing or not, no matter what I did spend a year writing this and some of you have spent a year reading this, and the story is as much your as it is mine, after all it is written for all of you. I hate it when authors stop writing stories I love but I do understand the reasons behind why they do this, when the author gets bored, invariably the readers will too, the lacklustre way in which I felt I have been writing these last 10 chapters or so has taken form in some of the chapters and for creativities sake it just isn't possible for me to write this.
Fear not, I have not quit writing stories, in fact if you want to read some of the other WIP I have go to:

Now to reviews, for the last time in this story anyway:
Mo: It's been amusing, I can't believe you haven't worked it out before now, I've dropped many hints, maybe I wasn't that clear, but I suppose you can nag at me later on msn about it after I've beta'd a work in progress, or at school tomorrow. PS. Of course I managed to put my 'hot' Balrog slayer in *smirks* surprised you didn't work it out then!
Kaye Thorn: I have to say your comments were always interesting and humorous. The mix of questioning my judgements as an author- to which I had to actually think about what I was doing- as well as the sporadic lotr knowledge and questioning was refreshing, thank you.
Haldir lover: Sad to be leaving you, though I believe you read 'a work in progress' so I don't really think it's a goodbye really, you'll still read my lovely genial responses on that.
Hanya the bloody angel: Yes, the last chapter was dull. That's exactly how I've felt the past 10 chapters have felt, as said previously; I've just become quite listless when it comes to this story. About the entering in Imladris, I believe that in the hobbit they sing etc. because they're expecting them and they also know Gandalf (tries to remember is they entered with Gandalf…) also, during the hobbit the Nazgul weren't around- I think they'd started their search in 3016- again another fact I'd have to check.
KindCalypso: I feel especially guilty when saying goodbye to you, you've reviewed steadily since the first chapter. I hope you stay and read any other writing ventures I decide to embark on in the future, if not thanks for all of your comments.
Elrohir lover: I suppose it's a new chapter…just not what you wanted.
Okay, so this is goodbye, is you comment or woteva, please leave your email so I can email you back and respond to what ever you say- I'm sure some of you will contest with what I've had to say.
I wish you all well,
Namarie,
Gwilwileth
