Thank you, Bronx! I don’t know what to say to begin, except that I am quite sure the next chapter is much, much worse for poor Elrond, and there is no “broken heart” smiley. I am glad you liked the play, and the little tiny bit of Glorfindel and Gildor (I couldn’t resist). Oh, Celebrian’s dance… she really is a completely free spirit. I’m afraid the change in her is severe, and sudden. Galadriel had much more of a hand in that play than anyone realises. She’s been trying to “get through” to Elrond for a while now, and finally succeeded by surprising him when his emotional defences were down. Elrond might not have been able to tell, but I’ve often wondered if Galadriel knew of Celebrian’s fate. Did Celeborn? I suppose I’ll have to continue writing to find out, but I know Galadriel had a few hints, and she has the mirror. It seems impossible that something so awful could happen to her daughter, and she not know… fate is a strange thing, and stranger still are the elves’ attitudes to it, but I suppose this is one of the areas where they differ from men.

Chapter 46: Cel does some dancing, and everyone likes it. The show is here. But for all that the ending isn’t quite what Elrond thought it would be...

It is likely there will be a new chapter of The Teacher tomorrow.

Thank you, CCWolfe! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the story. They really do love each other, in too many ways to count. Ahh… Erestor will not be around for much longer. He’s taught Legolas really as much as he can, and Erestor has his own story in “Taming the Twins” Thank you for leaving these encouraging words! I hope you’ll enjoy the rest of the story too.

So yesterday I knitted a bobble hat for the dog. You can’t tell, but she’s really impressed.

Is anyone really surprised that Trump doesn’t like (or even understand) intelligence? After all, they’ve got nothing in common. It’s like a bad match up on a dating website. This is the guy who probably still thinks he can “turn off” the internet. The guy who’d have more money now if he’d just saved the loan his father gave him, instead of fannying about with it, making as many people miserable as possible.
Much as I dislike certain aspects of US Intelligence services, if I was about to be President, I’m still damn sure I’d trust them over Putin. What a complete and utter wazzock… I wonder if he’ll be able to bring himself to trust the intelligence services the first time they say: “Get down!”
I must stop watching the lunchtime news.

Nope. The orange shitgibbon has a “great brain” according to … HIMSELF!
Mind you, when you have all SEVENTEEN intel agencies telling you the same thing, there’s obviously something afoot.

As someone who primarily writes slash, all characters are male to me. Even the ones pretending to be girls. Even the ones who are girls. Even me… Wait, what?! No!!! I didn’t mean it! *glares at the doctors… throws hands protectively over bosom* Don’t you dare take them off! Ah, thank you. It was written for you, and as long as you like it, you ’re the only one that matters. Maybe I’ll post it on AO3, just so my troll knows what I can do when I really put my mind to it… Excellent! Maybe Sarsa could do yours and DG’s work on an alternating week by week basis, then we’d all be happy! *g*

On a more serious note, you are dead right and this is great advice. I notice this morning that they are just wading deeper and deeper into their own trouble, completely oblivious that the admins are going to looking up their comments. They don’t need my help at all On another note, to everyone, even if you come across this trolling, please don’t say anything to them. That particular clear violation of the TOS (encouraging others to attack/harass etc) is what I’ve reported them for.
-
Haha… I wish. Although I suppose if I could do anything I wanted, I’d deal with them in fiction and set Sauron on them or something. Let him hack a few fingers and toes off… maybe an entire limb or two…. make them like it.
-
That’s a good one… hasn’t the sun been quite active with solar flares recently too? Or am I just imagining that?
-
That’s absolutely the point, isn’t it?
-
I’m assuming this is for Mohammed? Only if so… it would be so much snarky fun if the matter transference beam looked like an endless pillar of salt…
-
Apologies for my bit of a rant, there. I guess I just got a bit pissed off I had to spend actual time on this (putting a report together and such) when it’s my day off. Never mind… I’ve got another one tomorrow. That’s more than many people get.
-
Or there’s always this: ALIEN ONE: Something is throwing the beam off. ALIEN TWO: What is that? Oh, man… they’ve gone and built a collider! ALIEN ONE: Closest safe point is right… there! ALIEN TWO: Right. Quick and beam him from there before they turn everything to grey goo… Idiots! I can’t believe they’ve got away with running it for this long... oh, man. They voted in Donald Trump too! We need to get out of here.

Thanks, JayDee. I think these are older teenagers of some description, because a lot of their conversation revolves around: “B-but she was Meaaannn to me!1!!!1 All of the fandom is IGNORING me NOW. And now I Don’t Want To Write ANYMORE!!!! Everybody get her!!!!” They’re like little trainee fucking sociopaths… I haven’t reviewed their stories, btw, I just mentioned in my response to their obscene review (back in October, ffs) that they were jealous and couldn’t spell. Or use grammar. Or be coherent. They’re lucky I didn’t go further. I mean… is not going to help them in their upcoming McDonald’s career. I’ve reported it and left it at that.

Maybe it’s a pre-arranged rendezvous point, like in the film ‘Starman’ and there is no way to contact each other to revise it? Perhaps the discovery of electricity/radio waves/micro waves etc, means that only specific places are suitable for matter transference? If you’re looking for something more involved and technical, perhaps you could look into axial precession, and/or the movement of the equatorial line on earth messing things up a bit. I mean, we are talking in thousands of years here. While it might not be noticeable (I have no idea!), it might throw delicate instrumentation off quite a bit.

Melrick, I am loving all these little snippets you are posting – they’re fantastic!
-
Now I am just giggling about it! You’re all awesome!
-
Well, I have followed your advice, Des and Bronx, and have submitted a report to the abuse team. Here’s hoping it can be quickly resolved. Thank you!
-
Thanks, Bronx… I will hold back. Actually it might play into their hands to respond, given that this “discussion” is happening on the troll’s comments page.
-
Thank you, Des I am still thinking about it, but you are probably right. *nods*

Well, this is a new one on me. On another site, some time ago I received a troll review which was full of swearing and nastiness. It was deleted and reposted again and again over the course of about an hour. Since the troll review was from a registered user, I took a screenshot from my notification email and reproduced it on my review page so that I could reply, thinking that would be the end of the matter. And it was… for a while. This morning, I have a new troll, and I find there is a long rambling discussion about me on the comments section of the original troll’s story (I won’t repeat it – it’s pretty nasty), where they are encouraging each other to continue trolling. I’m hesitant about ignoring a public discussion of myself containing harrassment and namecalling, which leaves me with two options. I can either report the abuse right off the bat. Or I can calmly ask them to stop (on the review board where they’re having this public “discussion”), then report if they do not subside. The second option would seem to be preferable, but I don’t want to start some kind of flame war. I was thinking along the lines of: So… what do you guys think? I am kind of at a loss… *sighs*

Chapter Sixteen -
Over Christmas (as we do every year), we watched the entirety of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ while engaging in our own particular hobbies. Mostly, the quiet ones, like sewing, although every now and again it does precipitate one to cry out in a most alarmed fashion upon discovering an earlier miscount of stitches.
Be that as it may, I came upon a sudden startling conclusion whilst watching this year, which has to do with my dislike of our modern-day “celebrity culture”- and it is this:
Almost everyone on the entire planet has turned into Mr. Collins!
It’s true. Think about it for one moment. Remember the ugliness of his infatuation, and how well he considers himself for enjoying the “condescension” and “patronage” of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. You could easily replace that woman’s name with any featured in the celebrity section of our news outlets today and lose little meaning. And, just as in ‘Pride and Prejudice’ Lady Catherine has little claim to our (or Lizzie’s) adulation, our admiration or even our respect, except for that which society bestows upon her.
In light of the above, it is possible that we can draw a straight comparison here between Lady Catherine and any of the Kardashians, or Kanye West, or Donald Trump. As for Mr. Collins… I respectfully and humbly suggest that if you’re in the habit of grovelling to people with no claim to your consideration besides their excessive wealth and status – please stop. The rest of us are Lizzie. We are not Charlotte Lucas. It’s unseemly.
My apologies. I haven’t been writing anything. And now I have a piano lesson. And actually, I think I might be Lydia. Oh, well.
