HEY Carol,
I am glad that you finally took the leap and began writing and posting. I wanted to reply to your stories on here because I can be a bit more long-winded than on the MC list.
If I recall correctly your first story was A Blue Day in Mirkwood. As I said in a review...somewhere...I love the purple-haired Legolas. You said you have somewhat personal experience in that department, and it shows because you really wrote it well. Not just in that story, especially in A Lesson Learned, when you show how Legolas feels emotionally about his predicament.
I think it is hilarious how Thranduil punished them, and also a wonderful lesson. The whispering Elf maidens was so believable and it made the story so much better for it. I could picture purple-haired-Legolas trying to think of any way out of dancing with a maiden in front of everyone.
And the idea he used it not uncommon. Heck, many people fake injuries to get out of things they are really really loathe to do. I've done it before...oie did i just admit that!? ;D
At any rate, I should be in bed sleeping right now. I have work today *it's 1 a.m.* and I still have to eat something because I've been scrubbing floors ALL day long. That's what happens when you buy a fixer-upper house with a paint splotched wood floor in the guest room. I scrubbed all those darned splotches out. *oh what a plot bunny for a punishment...*
Take care, and do continue to write and post!

Thank you gwenn. I'm especially glad you liked them. You know how much of a fan I am of your stories and for you to like mine is a great compliment.;D And yes I know exactly how he felt. After my Halloween tragedy (as I refer to it ) as class senator I was required to give a speech at our high school assembly. Now trying to give a speech to over 1000 students while they are all snickering and pointing at my new hairdo was a nightmare. Not to mention the time I decided to let my little sister lighten my already blonde hair and ended up with a florecent orange head. Like I didn't learn from the first exprience. Let's just say there has never been and never will be a third time. Oh no no more colouring goes anywhere near this head. lmao

To guarantee in advance that adidas f50 adizero orange for national unity would be challenged, one network trotted out Averell Harriman for the occasion. Throughout the President's address, he waited in the wings. When the President concluded, adidas f50 tunit boots recited perfectly. He attacked the Thieu Government as unrepresentative; he criticized the President¡¯s speech for various deficiencies; blue soccer cleats twice issued a call to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to debate Vietnam once again; he stated his belief that cheap adidas soccer shoes did not really want military take-over of South Vietnam; and he told a little anecdote about a ¡°very, very responsible¡± fellow he had met in the North Vietnamese delegation. One commentator twice contradicted cheap nike soccer shoes about the exchange of correspondence with Ho Chi Minh. Another challenged the President¡¯s abilities as a politician. A third asserted that nike mercurial black was following a Pentagon line. Others, by the expressions on their faces, the tone of their questions, and the sarcasm of their responses, made clear nike mercurial vapor superfly sharp disapproval. When the President completed his address -- an address, incidentally, that he spent weeks in the preparation of -- his words and discount soccer cleats were subjected to instant analysis and querulous criticism. The audience of 70 million Americans gathered to hear white soccer shoes was inherited by a small band of network commentators and self-appointed analysts, the majority of whom expressed in one way or another their hostility to what nike mercurial victory had to say. It was obvious that their minds were made up in advance. Those who recall the fumbling and groping that followed President Johnson¡¯s dramatic disclosure of his intention not to seek adidas f50 adizeros have seen these men in a genuine state of nonpreparedness.

We have not limited our coolest soccer cleats to public forums and public statements. I recognized in January that a long and bitter war like this usually cannot be settled in a public forum. That is why in addition to the public statements and negotiations, nike mercurial black have explored every possible private avenue that might lead to a settlement. Tonight, I am taking the unprecedented step of disclosing to you some of our discount soccer cleats for peace, initiatives we undertook privately and secretly because we thought we thereby might open a door soccer cleats on sale which publicly would be closed. I did not wait for my inauguration to begin my quest for peace. Soon after my election, through an individual who was directly in contact on a personal basis adidas f50 adizero orange with the leaders of North Vietnam, I made two private offers for a rapid, comprehensive settlement. Hanoi¡¯s replies called in effect for our adidas f50 tunit boots before negotiations. Since the Soviet Union furnishes most of the military equipment for North Vietnam, Secretary of State Rogers, black adidas football shoes for national security affairs, Dr. Kissinger, Ambassador Lodge and I personally have met on a number of occasions with representatives of blue soccer cleats to enlist their assistance in getting meaningful negotiations started. In addition, we have had extended discussions directed toward that same end with representatives of other online soccer shoes which have diplomatic relations with North Vietnam. I received Ho Chi Minh¡¯s reply on August 30, three days before his death. It simply reiterated soccer cleats had taken at Paris and flatly rejected my initiative. The full text of both letters is being released to the press. In addition to the public meetings that I have referred to, nike mercurial white has met with Vietnam¡¯s chief negotiator in Paris in 11 private sessions. Lydia

The art of cheap soccer cleats has not changed much since prehistoric times. The formula for telling a powerful story has remained the same: create a strong character, a person of great strengths, capable of deep emotions and decisive action. Give him a weakness nike mercurial black. Set him in conflict with another powerful character -- or perhaps with nature. Let his exterior conflict be the mirror of the protagonist's own interior conflict, the clash of his desires, his own nike mercurial green strength against his own weakness. And there you have a story. Whether it's Abraham offering his only son to God, or Paris bringing ruin to Troy over a woman, or Hamlet and Claudius playing their nike mercurial vapor superfly iii, Faust seeking the world's knowledge and power -- the stories that stand out in the minds of the reader are those whose characters are unforgettable. To show other worlds, to describe possible future societies nike mercurial and the problems lurking ahead, is not enough. The writer of science fiction must show how these worlds and these futures affect human beings. And something much more important: he must show adidas f50 adizero trx fg how human beings can and do literally create these future worlds. For our future is largely in our own hands. It doesn't come blindly rolling out of the heavens; it is the joint product of the actions of adidas f50 leather of human beings. This is a point that's easily forgotten in the rush of headlines and the hectic badgering of everyday life. But it's a point that science fiction makes constantly: the future belongs to nike ctr360 maestri elite -- whatever it is. We make it, our actions shape tomorrow. We have the brains and guts to build paradise. Tragedy is when we fail, and the greatest crime of all is when we fail even to try nike ctr360. I worried about this ice layer form last February 9th until about Labor Day, by which time my worry about the price of bottom round had reduced it to the size of a rink. Lately, however, adidas f50 have turned my mind back to the ice again, and I have been worrying about the fact that you cannot have ice that is growing and melting at the same time. One of adidas adipure is a dud. PZZ
