Reviews for Greenleaf & Imladris 30 - Finale: Just Reward

    Well, you've been working hard for the last 29 parts des deserve to have some fun. Go for it!
    Uh oh, did Elrohir wish for a child or for children? Is there another set of twins on the way? I'm glad Gimli fainted first and the hobbits had something soft to land on.
    And to the second of the brave Anons, why have you "suffered through" the last three arcs? I you didn't like it why didn't you just STOP READING? Secondly, how does someone who won't even give their own name think they can speak for other people? Did you take a survey of people who have "spent 29 arcs hoping for a decent ending" to make sure that they "feel gipped"? I've read all 29 arcs hoping for a decent ending and I don't feel gipped. Speak for youself. Thirdly, just how exhaustive is your knowledge of Elvish anatomy? If it's possible for them to have eternal life or to be reborn, why not this? Tolkein established the Valar as both very powerful and occasionally capricious - look at the creation of the Dwarves by Aule. With Eru's blessing, why couldn't they manage a male pregnancy?
    There is an author who doesn't know when to stop, but I don't think it's Eresse.

    I agree with the other two posters, actually. Yes, I did read the nd ynd yes, I immediately thought "Oh, here we go". It is such a pity when stories are spoiled because the author doesn't know where to put those two little words, "The End". Honestly, the best ending for this would have been at parts nineteen or twenty, or at least started a sequel to the arc with warnings. Everything that follows is completely different in tone and style, and whilst it's not a bad thing for an author to progress, I think that such a dramatic deviation to such odd science fiction (I'm talking about the whole Maeglin thing) just doesn't fit. At all. Up to there it has been of beautiful style and flow; it was the randomness of the rest that ruined it. The previous reviewer wast-ont-on with that train-wreck analogy.

    From one author to another, I'd like to say I know how hard it is to write certain passages and stories. Yoe doe doing an excellent job so far and I look forward to anything else you might post. I've been waiting with bated breath for some time now for someone with your talent th come up with a LotR mpreg fic, and I love what I see so far. Looking forward to more additions. This has been a wonderful series from the beginning and I adore the latest twist. Very nicely done!

    Hehe, I had a feeling that a pregnancy was going to pop up between Legolas and Elrohir. I was thinking to myself... that's the only possible thing she (as in you, eresse) could pop up for them to be ultimately happy. Of course the foreshadowing back when Elladan's twins were born was most of the reason I thought this.
    Like many others have said, I'm not big on MPREG but I have read a couple of them. The difference with yours though is that it's not *nal* fl* for a male to have a child which makes it better than the other stories who have it happen as if it were an everyday occurance.

    Once again, wonderful addition to the story! And I look forward to the Twilight stories you are thinking of putting up.

    I LOVED IT!!! The reactions of both families cracked me up. I almost thought Legolas would cause bodily harm to Elrohir. I can't wait to see where this goes. I won't ask for more soon because you always do.
    Take Care,
    Teri

    Yup, this is going to be my second posting. But what the heck! I just had to post after reading some of the other comments. There is a reason why the author's note is there. It's to warn people. Don’t like it? Don’t read it. Don’t go about saying how this story is spoilt. You do know that this is fan fiction right? Go to the non-fiction section if you want to talk about reading reality.

    I get pissed when people post such thoughtless comments. It’s equivalent to flamers who refuse to read the warnings and later flame the authors for daring to post slash/yaoi fiction. Well duh…….. warnings are there for a reason. If you are not sensible enough to read them, don’t blame others for your stupidity.

    Another point is that this is Eresse’s story. She can do whatever she wants with it. We, as readers, can comment/review/request, etc. Ultimately, she has the final decision to see how she would to write the story.

    Heheh, now that you have suffered through my ranting. Eresse, I LOVE YOUR WRITING!! GO FOR IT!

    Later people~

    I kind of expected this because what else could be a just reward for our two protagonists and what can you wish for that you might just get? -- Something so unexpected. I guess Mpreg stories do suffer the burden of making the plot as believable as possible because for a start, it is just impossible in real life. I like it and I rather expected that it was going to be Legolas who's going to be pregnant. I think he is more the sheath than the sword of the two. But I hope that your writing style would not change and it would carry the same depth, tenderness, evocative and thought provoking lines that I'm so used to. A light and comedic story can still have these qualities and I know if somebody can pull it off, it's you. Thank you for this finale. There isn't any closure I could have wanted more than have them rewarded with a child. They deserve it.

    This was great, and really funny! I loved the idea of Gimli and the hobbits fainting in a heap!

    oh how I beg that this will not be a oneshot. I would like to read your description of Legolas' pregnancy ;)

    Oh, I laughed through this entire chapter... very funny. I loved Elrond's reaction and I could clearly see the look Legolas was giving Elrohir when he as 'what else did you wish for?' The dialogue was very cleverly written, especially at the end when Elrond was speaking to Thranduil. :o)

    Oh great, now we have 2 brave ANON posters. I probably shouldn't even bother responding but, what the heck: Firstly, how 'bout you both learn to read and heed/b> warnings. If you can't seem to do that - and I have to wonder why that seems to be so hard - you could, I don't know, perhaps try and develop a sense of humor - 'tongue in cheek' ringing any bells?

    Eresse, hon, I can tell already that I'm going to thoroughly enjoy watching Legolas 'endure' this, er, situation! And since Elrohir is *already* in overprotective of Legolas mode he's going to be a blast to read about. As alwaI'mI'm looking forward to the next update.

    I agree with the other anon poster. I have suffered through the last three arcs of this monster in the hopes of it *ending*. And I don't care if there is a 'warning' -- those of us who have spent 29 arcs hoping for a decent ending feel gipped. MPREG is not only a silly concept, the Valar would have more sense than to impregnant a male Elf. Let's not even go into the biological impossibility of the situation.

    This does ruin a fic that was ruined with the whole Maeglin fright. *sighs* Some authors do not know when to simply stop. Such a shame. I equate this whole thing with a train wreck -- one just cannot look away.

    Hmm...*lol*

    Well, I do consider part 29 to be the last part of the 'serious' story. For me, this is more something humerous and probably for you as well. I don't know if you noticed it. but your writing style has completely changed!

    Oh well...I don't mind this part actually...rather funny, but like I said, for me, not an original part of the Serie.

    And Gandalf...always keeping his cool *bg*
    “With child, eh?” Gandalf muttered distractedly beside him. “Very--interesting.” The wizard did not look too spry himself.

    After reading the whole series in some few days I am now ready to review it. This is one of the bfanffanfictions I have ever read! It was quite amazing! I love the way in which you descs ths the relationship between Elrohir and Legolas over so many centuries with all the ups and downs. It is really a very great series, and I have enjoyed it very much!

    As for this last story, I had suspected something like this after reading the summary earlier in one of the stories. It would have been so nice for them to have children of their own, although I must admit, Elrond is right - Elrohirs stubbornness and Legolas' high spirit ... *gg* ... poor parents and grandparents! It will surely be quite a handful!
    Reading this first chapter, I have laughed so hard ... oh yes, it is very promising! I look forward for more chapters and I am very relieved to know you will post more after this is over - I will miss "Greenleaf and Imladris" very much, although I have not lived so long with it as other readers. Some other stories from you will make it easier to say farewell.

    Thank you very much for sharing this with us - I had so many hours of pure joy with it!
