Set in Greenwood the Great several decades before the LOTR trilogy
begins, this fic tells the tale of a sweetly annoying Elf prince and
the fiery lady he unfortunately chooses to bestow his affections upon
one Spring Festival. Certainly not the usual Legolas romance-type,
mainly as it's told from the point of view of the heroine, a deeply
sarcastic and rather wicked female Elf named Nessa. There are
intersections with "The Hobbit" as well as a guest appearance from
everyone's favourite filthy ranger.

Re: Story Nomination Posted by Kate May 30, 2004 - 3:25:27 Topic ID# 420
Thevina,

I just wanted to confirm a couple of things about your nominations
before I put them in the database (helps to avoid a lot of work if
they've been placed in the wrong category).

You've not listed a romance pairing for "A Way Opens", even though
you've nominated it for Romance. If it's the story I think it is (I'm
quite certain I've read - and enjoyed - it :P), it wouldn't strike me
as a romance story, but if that's the category you'd like it in, no
problem. I just need a romance pairing for it.

"The Braided Heart" has "Hobbits" as a secondary category, and I just
wanted that one confirmed too.

Thanks heaps, and sorry if I've gotten everything completely wrong.
I'm tired :P

- Pervinca

No, no... argh! Wrong category. The MEFA site appears to be down
right this minute, but if memory serves (though, sadly, it usually
doesn't!), Lord of the Rings or drama would be fine with a secondary
category of hobbits, friendship, what have you. (and a big *blush*
for the compliment. Thank you.)

That's great!

Thank you for all you're doing, and my apologies for flooding the
site with my own nominations. You might as well slap a "Read Me, Love
Me" sticker on my forehead. Oh well. I enjoy reading other people's
works and am looking forward to the reading period when it comes up!
