hi :) bross :)

It's funny, last I wrote a message here was in 2010, and it's such a nice thing to see this site is still around despite many years have gone by and at this point many fan-driven sites are gone. I think I discovered the site around 2006? It's still amazing to see that you're around answering messages and stuff. May I ask what you're currently up to, and if you have tumblr accounts, cause it'd be lovely to actually see how you're doing more. It saddens me that this is the only place we know to contact you, cause even to this day I still think about this wonderful site that you put up for us to enjoy once in a while. Thaladir is STILL freakishly entertaining hahahaha

All my love

This was the first place I discovered Thranduil fan fix. I was hooked... I loved the stories, humor and sexy! While reading a favorite story on another site (AOO) that just happens to have a character based on Mal and Mary's seemly Seneshal, Thaladir, I was saddened to learn of Mary's passing. May she awaken in the arms of her Elven King, forever happy in the Great Green Wood. You will be missed Mary.

Elenna Elemmire, thank you so much for coming back and sending a comment! It's been many years now, but it still means a lot to me to hear that the stories are appreciated! The stories and this site will remain, and if I ever take down the site, I will make sure to move the stories somewhere safe first, likely AO3. Thanks again!<3

I'm so glad that these stories are still here! I remember reading Mary and Mal's stories on Open Scrolls Archive way back in 2004 and loving your renditions of Thranduil. Lo and behold, there are now Hobbit movies with Thranduil in them and a whole new fandom appreciation of Thranduil, but I will never forget the good ol' times of pure fantastical characterization of Thranduil. All of these stories bring me straight back 13 years when I was just a teenager discovering the wonderful thing that is Open Scrolls with all the nerdiest Tolkien fanfiction and a wonderful community of fellow Tolkies. All the love to you! x

OMGOSH I JUST REMEMBERED THIS SITE, I JUST FOUND MY OLDER COMMENTS FROM 2010!!! XD XD GO YOU! Still a fantastic site with a fantastic Thaladir - as always!

Anneloes, wow, that's quite an accomplishment! Actually, Mary and I at first doubted the series would be read at all outside of the group where it was originally posted (and over a period of many years) and I'm so happy we were proven wrong! I'm sorry the ending made you sad, but how the story would end was one of the very few things we had decided on before starting it. I guess we were a bit tired of the many stories where modern-day women fall into Middle-earth and live happily ever after with the elf of their choice and wanted to write something different. Although perhaps it didn't turn out that different, considering the last part of the epilogue ;-)

Cari, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy to hear you've enjoyed the stories and particularly that you like Thaladir! He's my favourite, too (but don't tell the king!)
