This isn't a chapter folks, so keep your shirts on. This is just a nice
little innocent Authors Note (and orcs do ballet...). I'll be answering
just a few questions i've been getting and some other stuff AFTER I
announce the winner in my contest.
ANYWAY. I'd like to get all the formal crap out of the way and thank all the contestants in my little, well, contest! Jess, Sami, Lady Death2, Aislin2, and Hanya the Bloody Angel (not necessarily in that order). You'll also be delighted to know that ALL of you had the correct final answers. Alas, I can only choose ONE winner, and that was the person who got their answer in first which was....... drumroll please Pinky.......
....................
....................
Hanya the Bloody Angel! Congrats to ya mi amigo. I'll contact ya (if I haven't already) shortly about the next chappie and your almost definite presence in it. You'll probably be privvy to some spoilers to some future chapters and I sincerely HOPE that you'll keep them to yourself.
And now, to some other junk.
Jess ~ Yes, you are correct. Narya is the name of the Elven Ring that good ol' Gandy has in his possesion. Which he borrowed from Cirdan the Shipwright (Elf who rules the Grey Havens, place where Elves sail for Valinor) who got it from Gil-galad before the Noldor High King died. And he, in turn, got it from the maker himself, Celebrimbor. Whew! Long history lesson there. Sorry bout that.
Hanya the Bloody Angel ~ Yes, Narya is a wee bit vengeful. Especially to an arrogant Marchwarden of Lothlorien. But whose naming names? (*cough cough* Haldir! *cough cough*) Sorry bout that. I think i'm coming down with something.... That's great that you like the way I put the story from her POV and writing it like you're in her mind. And what a nasty little mind she has! ::snicker::
Cassie-bear01 ~ So sorry about the disappointment on pairings. I've posted a slash free version of my story on another site with Haldir/OC, but not Narya. You can find it on www.scribeoz.com. I'm pretty sure that's the URL... anime princess4 ~ No worries about explicit stuff. I just can't write it that well, if at all. Not to mention most of that stuff is banned from ff.net. But little pockets of it still live on on this site (hallelujah!). Sorry, I just couldn't resist putting some slash in here. And i'll try to make 'em longer, but school isn't really helping too much in that area. And i'm just curious about the (I quote) ",. . . . .pinky. . . .ghost. . . uh . .nevermind"
saiyan-girl-cheetah ~ Heh, anything goes..... Yep. You've learned that lesson pretty quickly with me. Thanks for your pretty regular reviews. Like water to the dehydrated.... Sorry, couldn't help the analogy, me living in the desert and all. Glad you like it so much too. I find myself lucky that people actually like my stories, and those that don't don't bother flaming me. Too many of my friends have gotten flamed, or haven't gotten barely any reviews at all. Yep, i'm definitely lucky.
SilverWinter ~ I didn't mention it anywhere else, just so's ya know. But I bet you are just a little happy that this didn't turn out to be a Legolas/OC. Those are pretty cool (hell, I have one!) but there are just so many of them...... Oy vei.
Crimson Starlight ~ Expect the unexpected. I've had to learn that one the hard way. I'm glad you like the plot twist (I DID tell you all to beware!) And congrats on you finishing No Eyes Needed. That story was awesome, along with the one you worte about Erin and Boromir. I love 'em, even though i'm pretty sure I never reviewed. Yes, it is an undeniable fact that i'm an ass. Please don't hate the idiot that is me.
Emily ~ As i've stated somehwere's up top, there is a non-slash one on a different site - www.scribeoz.com. You can find it and another story of mine that wasn't posted on ff.net there under Faulkner as well. And I do respect your not liking of slash. The whole site that I put the non-slash one on is SLASH FREE. Only het is allowed there.
Kate ~ Again, I respect you're opinion, but this is how the slash one goes. Again, the non-slash one can be found at www.scribeoz.com under my screename Faulkner. Feel free to check that one out.
I wish I was dead.... ~ Meh, everyone has their own opinions. Read the above reply to find the non-slash version of this story. Most everything else is the same though.
RavenGirl ~ Thanks for the support. ::sigh:: I find that some people just don't broaden their horizons enough.... But hey, you like what you like.
dragonfly32 ~ Thanks for stickin' with it. I've said it once and i'll say it again - you can find the non-slash version on www.scribeoz.com under Faulkner as well. Sadly, I only have three reviews on that site. ::sigh:: Oh well. 'Tis the life of a writer I guess....
Serpent of Light ~ Yeah, keep your mind out of the gutter! ::snort:: Thanks for all the enthusiasm. Makes me feel five again.... And what the HELL am I talking about?! Eh, my art teacher is rubbing off on me. He talks to himself a lot, and I find myself now doing the same thing. ::sigh:: I was nutty before, but now it shows even more! Hey, that rhymes....
Dara Maeko ~ No review is useless. Your reviews kinda remind me of my friend (insert her name here)'s. Sorry, dunno if I should write her name down here. You never know what creepy perverts cruise cyberspace. ::looks around nervously:: Ugh, a guy once asked me to 'cyber' with him in a Yahoo game room. Thank God I said no and gave him the best written bashing I could do in my shocked state. ::shivers:: That was sooooo not cool man.
Aviarianna O Lorien ~ Yep, he really isn't that arrogant the way good ol' Tolkien wrote him (I actually DO respect the sacred Tolkien books, contrary to popular belief). But he's so much more fun to write when he's arrogant, you gotta admit that. And besides, i've given him his moments....
Dreamstrifer ~ Y'know, I choked on my ham sandwich when I first saw you had reviewed my story. My step-dad nearly broke my back when he 'patted' it to help me. ::rolls eyes:: Your stories kick ass. My friend doesn't have internet, and when she read the first chapter to Fellowship of the Fanatics, she practically got her hands and knees and begged me to print out all the other chapters for her. So I did that for the longest time until I moved across the US to Kentucky. Left her on a mean cliffie in Return of the Elf. Dunno if she ever got to finish that one and start on Heather's Adventures. But she's so enamored with Legolas, that I doubt she's read that one. Save me from the folly of Legolas obsessors all over the globe....
danceingfae ~ Not quite sure what you mean about the "don't know all these skills out of sheer dumb luck" line. Don't know what to make of it, but I highly doubt it's an insult, so I won't take it as one. And i'm still not too sure on Elvish weekends. I'll have to research it a bit more (when I have time......urgh) and stick it in there somewheres.
Luin, Nuin, and Eren ~ I feel that Celeborn got the bad end of the deal when PJ made the movies. Granted, the movies are pretty cool, but there's just so many bloody inconsistencies! I've seen less holes in a strainer! Haldir also got killed! My friend cried when poor Haldir died, since we went to see TTT together. Man, that just really sucked!
Cindy ~ Wow, I brought tears to someones eyes. Never knew I could do that! I've made people pissed, mad, angry, insane, happy, confused.... never made 'em cry though. I feel i've given Celeborn a little breathing space, made him a little more likable. And I bet you a million bucks Tolkien is banging on his coffin, cursin' me to the ends of the Earth for what i've done to his beloved characters.
Tarilenea ~ Wow, i'm on your favorites list! How cool is that? Hope i'm still there too!
Passion Lover ~ ::beams:: Yep. Never knew I could get so in depth at times. Been a while since you've last reviewed, but I understand. We all have lives beyond fanfiction. Some more than anothers (umlike myself). Since I took a while to write the first couple of chapters (eight) before posting them, they're pretty thorough. It makes me so happy that you really like this story!
Andray ~ Heh, love your short reviews. They're scattered all about the place! Always short and to the point, but who likes a person that's always beatin' around the bush, so to speak? Thanks for your continual support and reviews! I love 'em both.
WHEW!! ::gasps for breath:: That was long. ::deadpans:: Sorry if I didn't get you in there. But ya'll know my life is as far from simple and easy as one could possibly get. I only have time to do this because Labor Day is tomorrow and no school! YAY! Eat THAT Mr.Wilder!! MUAHAHAHAH!! NO MATH!!! YESSSSSS!!!!!
Er, sorry. As you can tell, I don't like Mr.Wilder all too much. He's the dude that gives me all the math homework that I mostly finish at school during History, which is so bloody easy and boring as hell. So's Science. I also have Science with Mr.Wilder. It's boring too, but I can't do my homeowrk then because I sit in the front row. Crap, I also have a model due friday. Eep. Help. I'M BEING BURRIED ALIVE!!!!!!!
Ah, anyways, I think that's all for now. Next chapter of my other story might be a little long in coming. Gonna do my best though.

IMPORTANT PS!!!!
If anyone reads Dreamstrifer's "Heather's Adventures", could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE e-mail me chapter 16? I really don't care what it really is, be it Authors Note or story chapter, but PLEASE e-mail it to me at msmccarthy@peoplepc.com. I would greatly appreciate it since my damn piece of crap called a computer WON'T LET ME!!!! CURSES!!!!!
