This is wonderful! I’m so excited to see another chapter posted!

I love the writing style here, it’s very humorous. And it’s quite fun to see Alqualondë through Artanis’s eyes. This is exactly the sort of story I was hoping would come from the Teen Spirit Challenge.

I’m not sure what else to say, other than,” I love it!”



Well, Galadriel has more good grace than I would've shown! I think these accusations of self-absorbedness might go towards Costamo just as well, even if he tried to apologise first...

I wonder if Arafinwë would be pleased, also! Somehow I can't help worrying that he'll be horrified at Artanis' harsh judgement of Ellemírë, rather than seeing it as a peace offer.

I suspect that Olwë isn't as oblivious as he pretends to be! He has taken Galadriel's surprising remark so calmly, I doubt he's unaware of what's going on in the room...

Looking forward to the next chapter!

I absolutely agree! I think Galadriel is in that teenage phase where everything is always "all or nothing." So, her parents don't like her staying out late at night, etc--"they just want me to be a doormat, then!" I feel like if Finarfin had been there, he would have just done his best rendition of this meme and done some face-palming. (He, personally, doesn't care if Artanis runs wild or not; he just thinks she should be aware that actions have consequences. And he certainly doesn't want her to be a doormat.)

Also yes: Olwë. A very canny guy, for all that he pretends to be a absent-minded old coot. ;)

Thank you again for reading! The next chapter should be out during the weekend, and will take a look back at Tirion to see what's up there.

Oh dear! Tirion does not sound like a very pleasant place at all. And you're painting an even darker picture of Elven social norms than I dare to! I love it!

Good for Artanis that the gossip-mongers of Tirion move on so quickly, though. And good for her parents that they miss her, for all the trouble she causes.

Oh, I love Artanis’ voice, and this whole chapter was very entertaining. Interesting people in Alqualondë.
