FYI, she's not at HASA, either, and there's no story there with that
title. Also not at An Meleth Din. In fact, a search on google for
"White Gull" turns up exactly one entry on someone's LJ (no link), as
does "Courtship of the Evenstar" (but that's the page that's gone).

This summary doesn't tell us any more than the romance pairings. The

use that instead?

In my email the last character of this summary looks like an a with `

Strip diacriticals from "i" in Grima and Lothiriel, "E" in Eomer?

This link leads to the main page. Try

The only downside is you have to scroll down to the bottomof the page.

I've got all the Eowyn and Eomer diacriticals removed. Also Theoden and Theodred and anything to do with Numenor. Rumil, too,has been taken care of.

Nope but we should. From a glance, it looks like a female, in 1st person.

I know there's a hyphen. Do you know if Hai is suppposed to be capitalized or not?

Already have it. I'm noticing a trend... "3D" is inserted into some of these URLs. I wonder why?

Already got those with Dwim's idea of Find and Replace. But she forgot (and so did you) about Lothiriel. :-)
