Comments on The House of Fëanor : Little Pity

I saw the remark about new paragraphs added to clarify a character in the last chapter, so I had to see what those were about. I couldn't be happier seeing Maglor about to get his wife back, and that her horse was instrumental in getting her spirit to begin to reform itself. 

This was also probably the best end note ever: "And thank you particularly to the Fëanorian Faction, who have both commented, joked and sent a surprising number of passionate private messages expressing very strong views on the ownership of Silmarils and the behaviour of the Valar.  

Fëanor appreciates your support, and would like you behind him next time he has to fight Balrogs. 

Maglor would like to remind you to take your banners with you when you leave the building, and to strongly suggest you avoid hitting either the Sindar or the Valar with them.

Celegorm says if you do decide to hit one or the other, he recommends the Sindar, they don’t hit back so hard.

Maedhros had a very elegantly expressed message for you all written out, but unfortunately, he dropped it when he and Fingon had to suddenly sit on Celegorm. 

Caranthir has sent you each a cask of fine wine.

Curufin, Celebrimbor and Nerdanel are working together on a Very Important Project and did not leave a message because they are Busy. 

And Amrod and Amras, after much debate, decided to get you each a pony, only I pointed out to them that if it’s seventeen hands tall with silver hooves and a mane like spun starlight, that’s not really a pony, and also that not everyone might have space for an elven steed.  So they said they would keep them for you until you find your way to Beleriand and are ready to go hunting with them."

-- I'd like my seventeen hands tall elven steed with silver hooves and a mane like spun starlight now please, thank you very much. I also appreciate the cask of fine wine. Hopefully no one will have to fight anymore balrogs, but I'd rather be behind Feanor than in front of him, so that's all right. I'll bring a fire extinguisher to the battle if needed. *Takes down my banners and leaves the building only so I can follow Maglor home*

Oh, I suppose a Woodelf would have space and time for an Elven steed! 

I still remember being surprised at just how loud and opinionated the Feanorian Faction were when I was writing this!  I wasn't expecting it, but they kind of wrote themselves into the story, I'm sure it wasn't my idea originally that Feanor should become High King of the Noldor one more time.
