Okay, this isn't a real chapter, but don't you dare start reviewing on my improper use of chapter updates. I'm adding this on to make a couple things very clear to you people. Yes, that means another list.
One. I understand that a list may not be in traditional story format, but there is a plot. It counts.
Two. I have had one good review for this fic. Now, I know this isn't outstanding, but it's also not the crap you all make it out to be. I've read crap fanfiction. Crap fanfiction is when the author spells so bad so often that you feel the need to copy and paste into word so you can run a spell check, and then when you do that there are so many choices for half the words you could get 3 different stories. Crap fanfiction is when you're reading it, you feel so disgusted you hit the back button before you finish. This maybe isn't what you're looking for, but it's not complete crap.
Three. Clearly, most who have reviewed have been unfair if one of my reviewers, one that didn't like it, defended me.
Four. Who the heck thinks that the phrasing "sent the dishes flying" is a form of elf sex magic! It's personification! I can't even think of another way to word that! Arg!
Five. Seriously, who makes a list to tell me how bad my fanfiction is? They didn't even really have 20, they reused!
Six. I have read the books. I've read the Similarian. I've studied the series. As soon as I can, I'll be taking classes in this.
Seven. If you don't like slash, and you don't like Aragorn/Legolas, don't read something marked AL.
Eight. This is an AU. Should I say it again? AU. ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. I know Legolas is older than 80. But really, no one knows how old he is for sure. I decided I wanted these two to grow up together. I can do that. I'm the author of this fanfiction. That's kinda why we write, to add in our own ideas, right?
Nine. Not EVERYONE knows who Estel is. You pretty much have to pick it up from either fanfictions with foot notes or the appendix from the books.
Ten. Aragorn was part elf. He has strange elvish behaviors in the strangests parts of his character.
Eleven. How many teenage boys enjoy their father giving them the TALK? Unless I've misunderstood something along the way, most boys dread the TALK.
Twelve. Do not elves feel grief? Do not some die from it? Is it then so strange to believe that Thranduil still mourns the loss of his wife every now and again?
Thirteen. I said Legolas didn't hold dear many memories in Rivendell after the fellowship, not at all. And this one is canon. Legolas wasn't in Rivendell, like at all, after the fellowship.
Fourteen. It's an honest mistake to spell it Rivendale instead of Rivendell. Also, in the first editions of the books, it was spelled elfs. When the book came to America, they changed that to elves and along with a few other words.
That's pretty much all I wanted to say. Oh, and that this was a gift to my friend while she was sick, and it really cheered her up. Why? Because she thought it was sweet and it gave her an outline in which she can fill in the blanks herself.
I will be putting a 20 chapter story up soon that will be a chapter for each truth. I do hope more people appreciate that. I refuse to be discouraged by some bitter reviewers because I know I am a good author. This just wasn't a widely accepted piece.
