If I took myself or my writing too seriously, the world would explode. Self deprecation is a way of life in these here parts. I am rarely serious. When I am serious, people usually run for cover. Or slap me.

THANK YOU!!! There is one comment in the edits that I will broadcast to the world here -- sorry Levade -- where Madame Beta wondered aloud if Glorfindel would have trouble meeting Erestor's dark eyes later . . . much later. And I swooned; her comment made me want to skip ahead to Imladris. There is something about these two that make me nuts.

I swear the next chapter will be up quickly. We're to the good part.
