Rofl. Mpreg. *laughs and shakes head* Well, it isn't my favourite thing in the world, but I love your writing so much, I'm sure it'll work out just fine. I just fear for Valinor...lol. If people say Mpreg sucks...well, they obviously haven't been around fanfiction long because it's all over the place. And I'm sure that you, of anyone, can pull it off with grace :-) I can't wait for more stories after this series ends--even though it will be sad to see it come to a conclusion--because you're such an excellent writing. I just can't believe you waited until now to post, lol. Where were you last year when I actually have time to sit down and enjoy my fanfiction properly? :-P

In all matters, there will always be detracters, people who do not agree with you or your decisions. But I'm so glad that these criticisms did not get you down. *grins* Yes! Another chapter too to boot *grins*

Hehe pregnant females often have wild mood swings. Hehe I did expect that Legolas will have it worse. It seems appropriate in view of his 'unusual' condition. Well, at least he does have an understanding spouse. *grins* Poor Elrohir. At least Legolas has made it up to him ne? *hentai grin*

Keep going!~ Readers like me are always on the lookout for a new chapter. Gambatte!

This is the first time I have ever posted a review but in light of certain reviews I feel to not do so would be insulting. I have been practically obsessed with this story since my friend recommended it. I rush home from work just to read the next chapter(think of me what you will). As an avid reader--though new to fan fiction in general and this is my first ever slash story--I must say I am completly enthralled with your writing. This story has not only entertained me for the last few weeks but has made me really think about some of my own perceptions of life, love and fantasy. To censor or put limitations on your ideas and writing at this point would be degrading. Though I loved ch. 29 and EVERY other chapter I am completely enjoying ch. 30 as well--I haven't laughed this much in awhile. Thank you for letting us share this love story with you.

By the way, if you ever decide to go pro or publish something beyond the internet(hint, hint), I'll buy every book!!! Immediately!!! Can't wait for more from you!

I am reviewing this for the sake of the disappointing shown idiocy of certain 'Anon's. Really people, if you think you can do better, do show us the proof. I'm interested to see if your high and mighty mannerisms could possibly reproduce a piece of work that has obviously taken much time from this good author's life to create and excellently so. And I must admit...for people who act like they rule the world, you certainly showed the attention span and intelligence of an amoeba. A warning is there for a reason. If all you are doing is trying to pull someone down, you just proved how f***ed up your life really is. Eress� wrote this story and has done an exceedingly incredible job of intergrating canon with fanon as well as her own intelligent imagination. If you don't like the latest chapter, even if it is for comedy's sake, then go find Tolkien's grave and join him, for he is the only one that could truly tell if things happened as such. Or will you tell him that he is screwed up for having so much incest in his books? Didn't think so. Please save the rest of us from your inane blatherings on what is a 'train wreck' and what is not, for I know a few fics that should have gotten shot down swiftly, but are still going. Mayhaps they are yours.

And for Eress�: Hon, you are the best! I am one of the on again off again mpreg likers and I have got to say that this has already turned into one of the best I've read so far. I can't wait for more, am hoping that the stereotypes are down a bit, and can't wait for more!!! Love, DA

This is another one of those "I'm not a big fanmprempreg, but I'll read your story anyway" reviews. :P Honestly, I was a little, erm, disappointed when I heard the last story would be an mpreg story. I've never read an mpreg story before, but I just loved your series so much that I had to read this story. (Heck, you could have wrote that Legolas was a girl all this time and I still would have read it.) Even th thh this story is still short, I've grown to like it just as much as the other stories.

And it is sad to see this series coming to an end. I had a great time reading all of these stories. I hope you write more in the future.

This is in no way a review, mostly cause I suck at reviews, well exceor sor squeeing out loud and truth be told this story needs one hell of a review just cause. But I get really pissed off by people who behave like idiots and express their personal thoughts on someone's story like that.
Just to be brief, Anon, you may loved this story when it started and now you don't, you apparently mislike the mpreg element. Nobody's telling you to actually stop reading but if the story it's not enjoyable to you anymore you may have to take that decisiI reI realize that you might not to want to do that, since you are expecting a grant finish to it. But and please take this seriously, you have to learn to live with the disappointment! And in the immortal words of someone who's a better writer than I am, if you don't like what's out there, write it yourself.

So stop bugging Eresse, just cause you don't like where the plot is going. It's her story and that's where she wants it to go. You may offer constructive criticism or not, but leading the story where you want it to go, it's not always feasible.

And again Eresse, sorry for using this space to actually yell at someone. Thank you for you story and for all the hours of enjoyment that I got out of it.

Hugs

Ok. I know it's been chapters and chapters since I've reviewed. For that I am very sorry. Forgive me?

Through the course of this story, you've given us laughter, tears, drama, MUCH anxiety, and so much more. For that, I (for one) thank you!

I'm not *normally* a fan of MPREG. Most times the *idea* is good, but the writing just cannot support it. I have faith that you will be one of the few who are able to support the plot with writing that will take just just a little further down the road called Fantasy.

Looking forward to the next update.

oh I am so in love with your series, this story is no exception!

Majority of mpreg stories are not to my liking as they portray the pregnant male elf as a bit of a wuss, either always crying or acting like a girl, but I have to say you are within the minority of such writers who create an amazing story out of the mpreg concept. But that was never in doubt as you've proven to be an exceptional writer from your very first instalment of your G&I series.

I love how you have kept to Legolas' warrior instincts and the fact that he's extremely uncomfortable about this confusion to his masculinity, which makes it very believable and well written. Thanks for keeping it in character! This is exactly how I imagined a male warrior elf would react to being pregnant. And I also love how light and funny this new story is! For once I don't have to worry about getting too affected by your brilliant angst scenarios.....I can just sit back and enjoy this! Ahh....such bliss.....

Hugz,
Jamie

sorry to hear that apparently some of your readers don't like mpreg. I just want to show you my support and please continue this story. You can write anything that you want, its your story anyway, if they don't like it they can start their own story.

I wish I had the words to express how much I have enjoyed your Greenleaf & Imladris series.
It is filled with innocence, charm, angst, adventure, romance, passion, loss, hope and humor;
very much the way life is. Your use of words and ability to story tell is delightful; the best
complement I can give you is to say that I was never bored, I never skipped ahead and I
have reread several parts for sheer enjoyment. I love your last flight of fancy with our two
heroes having a child (or twins? LOL), it fits well after the period of pain, longing & waiting
that they endured. I hate to see the series end as I always checked for new additions everyday.
Anyway, thank you. Please, please make this a lpartpart and I will always look for any stories
you may grace us with in the future. ;D

Hmm... Well, I guess I should add my two cents to the controversy, here.

When I first read the title of the upcoming chapter, I pondered to myself wha cou could be about. The only two possibilities that came to mind were 1) mpreg (going under the assumption that one of them, most likely Elrohir, would yearn for a child), or 2) something that breaks the peace (and implied monotony of same), for the warriors to once again be thrown back into the fray.

But returning to a world (back to Middle Earth?) fraught with danger, where one of our pair could again be killed, doesn't exactly seem like a reward.... and it would go against percperceived destiny of the Elves, to remain forever at peace in the Blessed Realm.

So, it had to be mpreg.

I do not mind mpreg stories, so long as they are well-written, and there is some plausible reason for the pregnancy. A whim of the Valar is entirely reasonable, I think; it could also be seen as a reward for long centuries of devoted love and daring heroism.

That said, I do cringe a little at the stereotypes that predominate in mpreg fiction... not *every* woman has severe morning sickness, for example. On the one hand you do have Legolas behaving in stereotypical ways (which makes me roll my eyes), but on the other hand you have Nimiethel reminding him/us that every pregnancy is different. I hope that you ease up a bit on the stereotypes for the rest of the story (although it is entirely suitable for Legolas to be vocally unhappy with Elrohir during the labor .) I do like how you touched upon how the rest of the Elves viewed the pregnancy, versus Legolas' perceptions.

As for the anon posters who are complaining about the mpreg, and/or authors who don't know when to quit. Well, to echo Eresse's other defenders, you were warned. Very explicitly and in great detail. And it is up to Eresse to tell her story, and determine what is the proper ending of it - not you.

I'm still here. I'm still enjoying it.

And I'm also sad that this series is going to be over soon. I hope that the conclusion of this doesn't mean that you're giving up on fanfic writing in general... it's been so nice to have a reliably excellent writer produce stories so frequently on AFF. I'd understand if you don't want to maintain this pace, but please, keep writing!

I thought the series was great!! I have no problem with the new chapters. It leaves a lot of room humor and angst. After all, this is called fantasy. I can easiepareparate the last chapter from the rest of the series in my mind if I so desire. I love anything you write!! I look forward to reading your other stories you mentioned. You are one of my favorite authors. Keep up the GREAT work!!
