Once again, thank you to all my faithful readers! I am so glad so many of you have stuck it out this long and I am particularly grateful for all the reviews. I know my writing has changed a lot in the last four years, I hope for the better.
As I said, I am almost finished with a prequel about Legolas's parents. I am pretty happy with it, though it has a different tone to this one. Less action and adventure, more romance. I will hopefully post the first chapter in the next few weeks. I don't like the way I originally wrote the opening, so I may do some rewrites first.
I am also considering writing another sequel/prequel about any of my other original characters (or even one of Tolkien's other elves if I get inspired) if you all would like one. I thought about writing about Breigel in Aman, but I wasn't sure who I would pair her with. I briefly thought about Faelon, since he deserves some love, but it struck me as very Twilight-esque, so I wanted your opinions first. I can also just write an adventure story if you are tired of romance (I know I get that way sometimes). Until I make a note on my homepage that I am writing another one, feel free to share your ideas. It may be quite a while before it happens, but I am interested in keeping the saga going.
On a related note, I started a blog recently where I am posting short stories to test out my writing style on a wider ranger of readers. I hope to get started writing a novel in the near future, so I want to see what works and what doesn't. I would love your support and input. If you like my writing and want to follow me on a more regular (hopefully) venue, check out my blog on . I will write as regularly as I can, but I am out of college now and writing for a couple websites, so I am pretty busy considering I don't have a "real" job.
Thanks again to everyone who stuck through this long, including this rather random rant at the end (sorry for the alliteration there). To quote the illustrious Bill and Ted, "Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes!"

**UPDATE**
So the prequel has been fully published, and I am getting ready to post the sequel about Breigel in Aman. It's a bit of a mess right now (I wrote the first couple chapters, the last couple chapters, and a whole bunch of random parts in the middle), but I will start publishing in December (thanks to the new influx of readers we will have on here after Desolation of Smaug) for those of you who are interested!
