Do you notice how I tend to comment on your entries backwards in time? :) But still, since most of my comments before were contradictory, I feel the need to suck up a little bit, because I want to join your minion and help you to rule the world.
But seriously, I really wanted to compliment you on on your english. I would never believed that it's not your native language. And cursing in 5 languages is very impressive :) I know only 4. Russian and Ukrainian are almost the same, and the curses there too rude. Hebrew just not imaginative enough (with it being dead for 2000 years it's expected), which leave me only with english. So far it's good enough for me.
I'm not big into fanfic, especially since I've been scarred by some of them very deeply. Actually, the place where I found OFUM, held entire collection of such stories, that reading synopses alone caused my eyes to bleed. But if I find some good author I usually read their other stories as well. And I really enjoyed some of your LoTR fics. I'm not a big fan of slash, so I put it aside temporarily, but the rest were powerful. I had to go see RotK again after reading Rising Star, Falling Darkness, to assure myself that ring was indeed destroyed. Until the End of Days while being very sad, had also very beautiful idea in the core. Thank you for creating really good fiction.
On a side note, I was thinking about Robert Jordan Wheel of Time today, and how he made it too long. It would be so nice if he would end it with book ten, because ten is nice round number. The next thought that jump into my mind was 'But nine is the number'. Elrond would be proud for spreading his mantra. I didn't attend OFUM and it still grilled into to me :).
