Thank you, Bronx! Lol… Legolas has been trying to convince Gimli to go back into Fangorn for a while… he’s incredibly excited. At this point, too, Legolas is much older than he is in The Teacher (since the timeline hasn’t caught up), and he’s all for doing it wholeheartedly if he’s doing it at all. I think he needed to get his own back for the lollipop comment. The way Gimli speaks does for Legolas a lot of the time. He can be so incredibly crude. *g*

Thank you for this I wanted to write what happened when Celeborn went to see Galion out, and this seemed a good excuse to write it. Ha… I am betting Galadriel does not give up “nagging” somehow I don’t know… maybe it’s because this story is so old, and I have so many pages of notes relating to it. The world it exists in has grown despite canon. I don’t even know how many seperate little bits and pieces, and entire stories, are contained in it now. Galion is one of those places where my imagination has run off into wilder places. I like the thought of this truly ancient elf hanging around on the sidelines, refusing to “get involved” as he calls it. If Galion ever sailed to the West, who would be waiting for him? Perhaps everyone… I think he’s quite late.

Thank you! They are being quite obvious. I fear their relationship will end up as an open secret, and I don’t think they care very much either. I feel sorry for the Sindar who have settled with them, because I think they’ll keep quiet about it all out of their love for Limeithel, and partly for their guilt. They know they have thrown her to a wolf. I have to say, Curufin as a character feels quite cold. I don’t think elven women are going to have an easy time in this story. He seems to have a love/hate thing going on. Celegorm is less cruel, but he’s not going to be intervening at all. Thank you again! Curufin is very childish at times… at least Celegorm sees the logic of not falling out with Caranthir over this, even if his temper almost scuppers it. I knew when I took this challenge up that the only way to explain the evil deeds these two get up to is to make them obsessional with each other. Where the world between the two of them becomes more important than the world outside. Add the oath to that, and it might just all make sense. Of course, any characters that become involved in their story are not going to have much fun. :/ Limiethel is going to grow up fast. She’s got stars in her eyes, and Curufin is a bucket of ice water. I promise it won’t be too harrowing though. That obsession hasn’t really developed yet, so while he is selfish and thoughtless, Curufin is still mostly sane.

Thank you, Bronx! Poor Elrond, but he hasn’t quite had enough yet. I think I am a subscriber to this idea of elves remaining until their grief is too great for them to stay. It fits very well. Because he hasn’t quite had enough, some kind of normal service will be resumed in the years going forward. Legolas is going to feature heavily in those years. You always leave such wonderful compliments, and I am sure that if anything I write can take you away from the week you’ve had, then I’m glad

One to go, but I am just not sure I have another chapter in me. I might retreat to the piano for a while.

BronxWench and WillowDarkling: do you have any objection to me pointing people to your author profile page in my author’s note?

Thank you so much, tcr! I’m glad you liked it, even though I still feel my original work lacks some sparkle compared to my fanfiction. The ending is sad, but to me inevitable. As we develop AI, we really should be considering the psychology involved, not just for ourselves, but for the machine, whether it ends up making use of an artificial neural network or something else. And of course one thing this story does is prove Turing right – any true AI must be a child machine, capable not just of learning, but of wonder and curiosity. It must have a natural inclination to imitate. It must grow up and mature… At which point it will have surpassed most of humanity.

Um… I had to slow down and take a break. I got headachey *g* Will finish tomorrow.

Chapter Nineteen

Thank you, Garethan! I’m glad you enjoyed it, despite the slight language barrier. Honestly, I admire bilingual people. I am just a lazy native Englander *g* And I am happy the feeling of succumbing worked too. Of course as an adult, with an adult’s twisted desires, there’s some argument to be made for her bringing most of the really nasty stuff on herself (ie. rape fantasy). The dream was of her choosing, after all, even if not consciously.

Seven down – three to go! Yay! I might have this done by the end of the day! This is almost like being a real writer.

Only posting this here to help me over the next day or so as I write furiously…. I did put it in a status update, then realised I couldn’t edit it. *is foolish* Ok, for my own reference. Chapters I am working on: PRINCE IN TRAINING – Done (2417 words) THE TEACHER – Done (1331 words) OTORNASSË AVANWA – Done (2406 words) TAMING THE TWINS – Done (1379 words) AI O JUTEN – Done (1299 words) ELROND’S GAME – Done (1994 words) A LIGHT IN THE BLACK – Working on it... THE TEACHER MISSING SCENES – Done (1020 words) SHORT AND SWEET – Done (1939 words) BUTTERFLY – Done (1626 words) I have so many characters in my head right now. It’s like a party. Some of these are going to be short, but it can’t be helped.

Thank you, Willow… With any luck, between us all we’ll bring more traffic here. Another little bright side, perhaps.

OT, but when I took the dogs outside this morning, there is a terribly ominous red crescent moon… quite spectacular really.

Honestly, the clear TOS and standard warns make it incredibly easy to work here. It’s all about the content, not about the person, or any drama they might indulge in. All we need is for the TOS to be followed. That is it. Being a moderator here has a definite feel of serving the AFF community as a whole. It’s that old thing about power, and people feeling like they’re something they’re not. That doesn’t happen here. We are all just writers and readers. The TOS is easy to understand, simple to follow, and it works. And if my situation was subject to the AFF way of doing things? A, they wouldn’t have been able to hide their bad behaviour, hence I wouldn’t have bothered to point it out, since they would have done that job all on their own. B, they would have automatically been told over review board chat for all the childish dramatics while someone was going through the sweep. End of. All sorted out without any escalation whatsoever.

It is done by committee according to the OTW site. But mostly, I think they’ve looked at the “Oh, woe is me!” comments of the troll to their anon friend, and the: “She’s being meeeaaannnn to me, and everyone hates me, and fandom is ignoring me, and I am so scared and sad and no good at standing up for myself!” posts, and not looked any further than that. Even though the reason the troll is reacting like that is because they didn’t expect to get called on what they did, ie. by being quoted. They don’t want to take responsibility for themselves, and especially not for their nasty actions. I’m actually starting to wonder if this person is even an adult.
