Thank you! I'm glad you love the bickering. Maglor is his father's son and has exactly zero time left for Morgoth :P

Thanks! :D

:D

Of course he wouldn't take a competition too seriously! That's something Celegorm or Curufin would do, not Maglor. (It is the most suitable definition of hubris for most of the Noldor, tbh. They're bad at that one word.)

Thank you! I'm glad you like the mention of Tinfang - he was supposed to make an actual appearance, but apparently discretion is his motto. He might be only sensible character related to this story. :P

He's on my list to write more about someday! It's just a matter of finding the time to do so.

Sorry for the late reply! For Tinfang I lean towards writing fic, though I suppose I could write meta for this month's challenge - biography is something I would love to see done, but will freely admit I would struggle to write for that obscure of a character. :P

Sorry for the late response!

Maglor's language is probably far more artistic and better constructed than Black Speech, and if asked Maglor would probably have some comment about "Of course it's better than what Sauron came up with, just look at the rings - Celebrimbor managed to combine aesthetics and power, while Sauron just had a gold band with words inscriped on it and brute force." :P

I'm glad you enjoyed the analysis of the linguistic situation in Valinor.

They probably do win! It doesn't seem a good sign for the competng team's skills that the rules are designed to make it easier for them.

Late, but thank you! :D I'm trying to come up with something for Tinfang - life is throwing curveballs at me, but I'll write something for him.

Thank you! :D I'm glad it made you laugh.

I'm not a singer (unless you count singing along in the car), but I totally agree with his point - for one thing, I enjoy songs myself that are in languages I don't even understand. Why shouldn't there be songs in every language?
