Henneth Annûn Story Archive

Thanks for the awesome comment, Maeglin. You made my day!

"In all seriousness, I think this is one of the better Finarfin stories."

Someone who got my storyline AND the subtext as well as the backstory AND and an implicit expression of sympathy with my own canon heresy or dislike of the Finarfin fanon (take your pick)! Geez, that never happens (well almost never).

Thanks again!  --Oshun

Blush!  That was one of the nicest compliments I've gotten in a long time.  Finarfin's one of my least favorite Elves, if only for the way he is typically compared to his brothers, and we're also on the same page regarding Erestor.  With the exception of LACE conformity, I see him as the same ol' scholar-warrior-counsellor-Kinslayer-skeptic; indeed your "Kiss and Tell" was an inspiration. 

Thanks,

Maeglin. 

 Thanks so much Illereyn and Ziggy for reading and commenting.

First, Illereyn, you "who was the disasterous affair that Erestor has just come out of?"  I did have a person in my head, but the prequel to this one has never been written. Don't know if I will get around to writing it or not.

Ziggy, I am so happy that you enjoyed the story and that the characterization worked for you. I suppose I am a bit of a canon heretic in the sense of interpretation, but I certainly try to glean details from all of Tolkien's various versions to enrich the particular story I am trying to tell.

Thanks so much both of you for your generous comments.
