Reviewers: Holy crackers, guys! 29 reviews in one day! That's the mostest
ever! I'm amazed! (Okay, so now I have to see who sent multiples, lol.)
Bec: Well, technically the next few, no matter which I write, will have Mithfalas in one way or another. And yeah, I know what you mean. Real life has stolen any concept of free time from me, lol. Hope school is going well! I've got less than two weeks to go now before Christmas break! Ooh, yeah, I always wanted an older bro too until I heard horror stories. . .
HalandLeg4ever: Lol, okay, one vote for Family Matters. Thanks so much for the review!
Yuki: Okay, so I'm going to count this as a vote for the sequel. The next story will come soon, I promise. If it's not a sequel, there will definitely be a sequel in the near future. Thanks for the review!
Gwyn: What? He's not evil! I happen to LOVE him. Sheesh. He touched Legolas ONCE and you get all mad at me, lol. And FYI, in the next story, there happens to be very touching father/son scenes! And the only reason Fal said he couldn't be seen is because he hasn't seen Thranduil since that day! HE'S A GOOD KING! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Brooklyn: I'm curious, why out of cruelty? So far, Family Matters is winning. I'm frankly surprised.
LegolasLover2003: I'm afraid you're losing. Maybe I'll make the backstories NOW stories, just very large flashbacks, so Aragorn is included. . . ah, I dunno. We'll see. Yeah, point taken. I'm working on recapping what happened a little because I've had a few people say that they've forgotten things and had to think about it. That's my fault, thanks for the input.
Deana: THANKS! Vote counted, we are now tied! This is so much fun ::smiles:: Wait, I need to stop updating people in my notes, because the result is gonna end up at the end of all of this anyway, lol. (It's late. Forgive me.)
Lizzie: Uhm, well, technically, you're write, Oropher never was evil, but then, that's why I'm not Tolkien, right?
Petjut1998: Vote taken, thanks! No, Legolas isn't cute. . . he is drop dead gorgeous. Even better in person. Ah, lol. (I love him.)
Lauren: It took me forever to write. I used to be a lurker. Thank you so much for voting! I really appreciate it! I'll get the next story, (whichever wins,) up as soon as I can!
K-rock: I need people to vote more. . . it gets so many people I haven't seen before to review! Thanks for the vote!
DaRkMyTh: No vote? That was the last chapter of this story, sorry. I'll be uploading the next story (which might as well just be chapters added to this,) as soon as possible! And thanks so much for the review, I'm blushing!
Fire Eagle: I gave your vote to both. I did that for someone else, too. I just won't give like, both of someone's votes to the same story, you know what I mean? Aw, I don't think anyone's ever told me that something of mine sounds AMAZING before. Thanks!
Wildfire2: No! This is NOT slash! Don't worry, you will see.
ForceofHobbit: Thanks! Sequel it is! Of course I will be there. Then you can come to mine and Legolas' wedding. We're silver and emerald. (Have to get technical, you know.)
Nikki: Lol, seriously, this is the never ending story. I see no end in sight! (When people start telling me that they're sick of me, I'll stop.)
MoonFist: Yes, but Legolas could not call him Aragorn in the presence of others, could he? I do see what you mean, though. There are times when I should have put Aragorn. (Kudos for knowing your stuff.) Did I say she died? I'm such an idiot. No, honestly, I know all about Elrond's wife. I have no clue why I said she died. Ugggg, I hate when that happens. Thank you for pointing that out. And Legolas' comment about Mirkwood elves never drinking was very highly sarcastic. Thanks for pointing that stuff out though! I appreciate it. (I can't believe I said she died. . .) Legolas and Arwen are not going to get together. . . I know it's wrong. Arwen's technically his second cousin, but then, she's also related to Aragorn. You'll see them in a later chapter, but trust me, I don't pervert Tolkien's stories that much. You just have to trust me for a little while on that one. Okay, so I fixed the wife thing? I'm going to have to go back and look at that. I know it means Hope. (See Of Elves and Men when you get the chance.) Like I said, in the prescense of strangers, Legolas couldn't say Aragorn, because. . . well, you know why, because you quite obviously know what you're talking about. Next review. . . sadistic. . . should I be worried? Oh God, you are going to hate chapter 12. . . you are absolutely going to hate it, I'm sure. . . ::cringes:: Wait. . . you weren't ready to shoot me after chapter 12? I'm amazed! Thanks!
Leggylover03: Update soon, with no vote? Hm?
Nenya: Okay, but I have two involving Mithfalas. . . I'll cast a vote for both, then. Yes, I got it the very day it came out. I even cut class to go buy it. (Shame on me, I know, but I'm obsessed.) So you mean to leave me sitting at some computer with not but a review and word it's the one I need, watching you type away on my computer? Sorry. . .
Sky14: No no no, no apologies! How long did it take me to review? I've been so loaded with term papers and my thesis's. I'm the one apologizing here! Glad you're back, though!
Dy: Okay, vote counted. I don't think Aragorn will be there for that meeting. That's very personal, isn't it? He'll hear all about it from Leggy though, that's for certain.
Keary: Awesome, thanks!
Dimostiel: I'll cast a vote for both for you. Ew, great, lots of Mini Bobs coming my way. Or going into the forest like in Harry Potter. One can only hope.
SPEoD: NO! I like SPEoD as a name. It always makes me think of Elrond. Yeah, I know, the plot bunnies ran wild. There is actually gonna be a Secret Alliances 2 because not all of the loose ends were tied up.
Lulu Bell: 7k, working our way down to a small review, huh? Lol. Witches were burnt at the stake. Well, if they burned they weren't a witch. If they didn't burn, they were a witch and were killed. So you died either way. Ha, I loved that too. Mommy Aragorn. . . has a ring, doesn't it? Okay, vote counted. I will tell you who I thought would win right above the atual result. Lol. Down below. I finally got all of my shopping done. Now I just have to worry about shipping and wrapping. Lol. I'm Sparrow, she's Barbossa. I dunno, I haven't seen her in a while either. Anyway, see you next story, whichever wins! Good luck at your game! You'll do great!
Leapinglizards83: Don't worry, I won't!
Kurafoxgirl: Lol, I can too do that. I'll count that as a vote for the sequel. Thanks!
Luthien: Wow. Someone turned violent.
Also: to whomever asked me Aragorn's age of now, he's about 29 or 30. I realize that may not coincide with certain events, please forgive me.
Now for the results: Here's what we have.
Mystery Shrouded in Lies: 4 votes
Family Matters: 10 votes
Heart of the Matter: 10 votes
A tie, so it looks as though I have to decide which one to write anyway. We're gonna go with The Heart of the Matter, and then I'll work on the back stories. To be honest, I thought the one strictly about Mithfalas was going to win, since he had such a huge response, but that only got four votes. Funny ol' world, innit? (Sorry, my Pirates phase there.)
Anyway, I will try not to make it too long before the first posting of that, but remember I do actually have to write it. Anyway, you know what to be looking for! Thanks for voting!
Bec: Well, technically the next few, no matter which I write, will have Mithfalas in one way or another. And yeah, I know what you mean. Real life has stolen any concept of free time from me, lol.
