VALENTINES H - M

• Whether it’s fiction, fandom, or real-life related, I’m always thrilled when I see you post. You’re truly one of my favorite people on LJ, bar none.  Your own personal humanity and humor shines in everything you write.
• you're interesting, intelligent, a wonderful granny, and I like your varied lj posts, pic spams and all.
• You are a terrific writer. I fall in love with your characters until I think they are canon, and so is their story. If it is not, it should be. Your Maedhros and Fingon series is one of the pillars that upholds the halls of Silmarillion fanfiction. An absolute must-read and re-read.  
• I love your entries, no matter what they are about, and I love all your stories.
• Your stories are lovely! Here’s wishing you a Happy Valentine’s Day!
• I love your posts and pictures, and your stories are magical. You constantly amaze me with the scope of your interests and the thoughtfulness of your comments.
• Thank you so much for being you! What would we do without you!
• I would read anything you care to write, no matter the fandom.  I love the passion you bring to your work. Your Maedhros and Fingon got me interested in writing Silmfic and your characterizations of them are still my favs. I’m impressed too with your energy and work ethic, not to mention your research skills.  Your character bios not only present the canon research, but give us interpretations that I appreciate.  I also enjoy your personal posts, your discussions, your friendship, your engagement.  You’re one of the reasons I stick around the fandom. I’m sending your Glorfindel and Ecthelion with an urge to take a moonlight swim.
• I'm in love with your Maedhros and Fingon. But these kisses are for you, because you are a generous, fun, thoughtful person that always makes me smile! XXX
• Your pictures of BF and thoughts about how your past history has led into your current enterprises and story lines have entertained and inspired me for the year.  Thank you.

• I want to write like you when I grow up! You're amazing (in the true sense of the word)

ignoblebard

• May your muses be bright and merry! Happy Valentine’s Day!

• Prince among men, rarest of birds, a male slash writer. I’d like to think of you as MY personal Beta, but you are much more generous, a pushover in fact. Love you, anyway, even if you are not monogamous.
• Love your sense of humor and your lush writing.  I miss seeing you around the LC. Sending you Haldir draped in pineapple rings.
• You've seduced me with every breath-taking tale you've written. Smooches and hugs.

• You are stronger than you think and your goals for your life will work out in their own time.  I have complete faith that you will make your mark on this world and leave it a much better place.

• *big hugs*
• You are a good egg!

jaiden

• I love your sass and spunk! You say it like it is, girlie! Love you!
• You are a staunch ally, and your irreverent humor has broken me out of my doldrums on numerous occasions. I’m sorry things are rough right now-- If I could fix everything by swinging in on a vine with my guns a-blazin’, I’d do it in a heartbeat. As soon as I found a vine. And some guns.
• You are smart, fun and very strong!
• I love your snarkiness and grammar! We have been friends for a long time and I value our friendship.
• A constant friend through the years I know you are getting ready for a rough patch but know you have lots of love and prayers coming your way.
• Smart, witty, passionate, committed. You are the person I most want to be like. xxooxxoo

• You have brightened my day by your posts and your travel pictures.  I look forward to more in the next year.  Hug that gorgeous dog for me.

joyful_molly

• Opinionated, strong woman who fights for what she wants. Strong sense of social justice and is dedicated to it. Excellent writer. Amazing sense of empathy and kindness.

keiliss

• I love you for your Gil-galad, young Elrond, Erestor, and your unique Glorfindel. Your characterization of these guys influenced mine more than I can say and I probably haven’t credited you enough, mainly because I changed them so much, not because I don’t appreciate the source.
• Brilliant, gifted storyteller - loyal, driven, wise and a very good friend. I like your advice and I love how you look at the world and I'm better for knowing you, you've opened up my life. I cannot imagine never having met you, so much would be missing.
• In my mind you will always be a tall, dark hair fairy but really you are one of the sweetest people I know. You are always there when I need you and I am thankful for your friendship and you time.
• You have an amazing ability to paint pictures with words, and an even more amazing ability to touch the hearts of those who know you. Thanks for being part of my life, darling.
• I love your marvelous characters and descriptive word paintings. Your depiction of Middle-earth makes me feel as if I am in a place familiar but also uniquely yours.  And it’s great to have someone on the southern hemisphere to remind us that it’s all relative: while we’re freezing, you’re sweltering. Sending you Erestor wearing nothing but a long silk scarf and Glorfindel with a paint brush and a wicked grin.
• I am loving seeing where your writing is going. It is a real pleasure.
• You always make me smile!
• some of my most favourite email correspondence comes from you. You are a great writer, witty, erudite, kind and possessed of an edge of irony which makes me smile. I am so blessed to know you and always glad that we are friends :D
• I love how you always have time to pass on a word of encouragement or comfort. You’re a good friend to a lot of people.
• You're doing great! Never doubt it! (And go easy on that delete key!)

• Introduced me to slash fiction as high art. Fell in love with your work first within the Tolkien slash fandom. You made me want to write it like I thought it needed to be written. Still trying thanks to you.
• you're just a dear for doing this and giving us a chance to spread the love on Valentine's Day.
• You are an amazing writer and exceptionally capable in every project you put your hands to. I love hearing about your connection with horse riding, and I enjoy hearing about your life.
• Your characters always draw me in and make me forget that other versions can coexist, so I am either ecstatic or devastated, depending. *g* You are a true wordsmith.
• you're interesting, mulit talented, and yes, funny. You use words like a master painter, all texture and tone, light and shading
• I admire your superb word-smithery and appreciate your contribution to the fandom via the Slashy swaps and the Valentines.  I miss your fics, miss finding how what will happen to poor Haldir and Elladan (although I’m one to talk about WIPs) and miss our timed writing exercises. Sending you a flight of muses. (Is that like a murder of crows?)
• Almost late is better than never, no? I know the year has started rough, but know that I’m sending some good energy, positive thoughts, a virtual hug and maybe a hot Elf muse or two your way today and every day. Happy Valentine’s Day, K!
• I admire all your work, and Threnody for the Dispossessed is one of my favourites.
• You are a truly masterful author, far better than those who win acclaim. <i>You</i> deserve acclaim for your fanfiction.  I fell in love with your rich, beautiful writing years ago, still am in love with it, and always hope to see more from you. Reading your work is an engrossing and very humbling experience.
• Clever, witty and daringly naughty. Lovely writer, with an excellent turn of phrase. Perfect “den mother” for all of us rabid, out-of-control cubs in the slashy exchanges.
• I am thankful that you decided to carry on this wonderful tradition. Also glad that you and red_lasbelin are carrying on the Slashy Santa tradition! You’re a bright spot in our fandom.
• thank you for spreading the love. ♥ *g*
• I admire how you step in and continue that which could so easily be lost, such as the Slashy Challenges and the Secret Admirer Extravaganza. Your generosity in giving up so much time and your extra work is impressive and helps keep our fandom alive. I am so pleased to have you as a friend :D
• You are an amazing writer; each fic you write makes me wish I could bend words to fit my thoughts as well as you do. And you're a star for organising this!

khylea

• you are an awesome friend! Love you lots! *hugs*

kymahalei

• One of the best things that happened to me in 2011 was the opportunity of getting to know you better.  My life has been enriched because of our friendship and I treasure it.  
• So nice to meet you this past year through betaing your lovely Legolas story.  In recent months I enjoyed learning more about you and sharing your fabulous once-in-a-lifetime journey to the ends of the earth.  So sorry about your accident and the attendant difficulties writing. You seem to be overcoming those with panache.  I know you’ll bring your ability to observe, your sensitivity and delight and understanding of people to your writing.

ladooshka

• Meeting you was one of the main awards I got for my first writing experience. I’m grateful for your friendship, your unwavering support and all the wonderful books you give me.

laesmeralda

• Thanks so much for your recent comments and support.  You are such a perceptive reader and talented writer.    

larian

• You are my oldest friend online and you get me into trouble still without even being there and I love you for it!  I also miss you a lot!

larienelengasse

• Excellent writer, who’s penned some of my favorites. Has great taste in wine, food and male anatomy. Always interesting, never dull. Fiesty and fiery.
• Good to have you back, sweetie. I always enjoy your posts and look forward to the return of your elves!
• You are a true Renaissance Woman. There is nothing you can’t do!

laur_melyanna

• I really enjoy writing with you. Thanks for being so patient!

leaf_light

• Several years ago you wrote me one of the most moving fan letters I’ve ever received.  Since then we have become close friends, chatting late into the night, sharing our lives, our hopes and fears, laughing at pain.  I love hearing about your garden, with its sheep and magpies, love your cats, and your wisdom. I’m sending you A & Z, with a box of ‘toys,’ a purple velvet cape, a vial of lilac-scented oil, and a whole long night uninterrupted. I want to see some action.

• you shine!
• Levade, I wish you saw how talented you really are, you have a gift for words and a flair for the Elves. Please don't give up!

lilith_lessfair

• You give so much of yourself to making others’ work better and toward encouraging their writing. I’d love to see you find the peace of mind and time to work more on your own WIPs. You’re a very lovely writer.
• I really, truly admire you.  You bring such positive energy and enthusiasm with you each time you post--it’s infectious in the best possible way. I think it must be a truly cool thing to know you in real life. (Does that sound stalkery? I hope not!!)
• You are brilliant, and a lovely, interesting person. I hope you know that your friends are here for you.
• I enjoy your dance, your humour and your sharp wit. A big kiss for you!

lindahoyland

• Your comments on my stories and blog are sometimes so necessary to keeping my attitude out of the gutter.  All I can say is that it has meant a great deal to me over the past months.  Thank you, my friend.

lisse_c

• It’s always great to make new friends.  Thank you so much for your kind words regarding my stories.  It is appreciated more than you know.  Sending you Bagoas with a dish of purple grapes.

• Steph! You are sweeter than cookies and marshmallows. It's been a pleasure to share in your life. :)
• You are such a great mom!
• like hearing about your life, over the years you and your family have become people I know and love. You're smart, caring, a great mom and a good friend.

luin77

• You are more than a sister to me.  You are the family I’ve chosen.  I love you.

malinorne2003

• I so admire your linguistic skills, something I could never do.  Thank you for being a steadfast friend and beta for many years, helping improve my canon and my sentences.  Sending you a box of sweets and an elf to sing in Quenya.

marchwriter

• So glad to have discovered your writing.  You are immensely talented and I eagerly look forward to each new offering, be it a gut-wrencher, a seat-grabber, or a heart-melter.  Keep it coming!

mdarkdreamer

• Your photos are wonderful and always make my day better.  I think your mother would be so proud of you!

melusine6619

moetushie

• What a fertile imagination! What energy! Keep it up!

minuial_nuwing

• Dear Min, you are such a special friend and gifted storyteller
• You are a wonderful lady and I see less of you than I would like. Your characters have stayed with me long after - particularly Dan!

• I admire your kindness and strength, your ever present cheerfulness and self-irony, no matter what new trials life keeps throwing at you. I’m grateful I came to know you and grateful I met you when RL allowed you more time for your Internet friends. It was wonderful experience.
• You’re such a talented writer – your warm, witty personality always shines through.  
• I love your writing, the way you can tell a big story in five hundred words but aren't confined to 'short'. On a personal level, you are compassionate, fair, interesting, fun, and someone I'm very happy I know.

mistressminx_13

• You are such a good mom.

Thanks Kenaz for doing this. My lj went down for what seemed like forever yesterday so I didn't get to comment sooner. Thank you everyone for such touching and special messages - I had tears in my eyes reading all the great comments to me and to everyone!
