*ahem* Well, as you can see my little realm has come full circle and is back to being hosted by SiteSled again. JoomJump wigged out on me and made my pages go *poof*. I don't know what made me revisit SiteSled, but, much to my surprise, the first bulleted item in their list of free-hosting perks on their front page was "No Ads!". Don't know when that happened, but I'm certainly glad. Thank you, SiteSled, for coming to your senses. I'm sorry I ever doubted you (i.e., please don't ever stick ugly banner ads on your pages again). Home again. ^_~

HUTTAH! After 6 months, my little space on the web has found a new home and is back up and running with a new look! Thanks to my new host, JoomJump! Long live free hosting!
PS- If you see a few holes on the Affiliates page, it's 'cuz I'm still checking through the fanlistings for bad links and haven't gotten around to consolidating/filling in the holes yet.

Well, there's no one to see this update because the site isn't online right now, due to the host adding big, ugly banner ads to all their pages. I guess free hosting with no ads was too good to last forever. I would have preferred pop-up ads as they don't affect the way your pages look and most people have blockers these days, but it wasn't to be. So, now I'm searching for a new host. Haven't found anything remotely as good as Sitesled was, but will keep looking. :-P

Added some icons and a Flash movie to the Gallery and that's pretty much it! Hey, at least I'm still around. ;)

An old gray stone
Sat all alone
Beside the road
Its dull abode
It saw some feet
Walk down the street
And would ponder
Where they’d wander
A pair of feet
Marched down the street
They saw a boulder
In the shoulder
They were struck
By its good luck
To rest at home
And never roam

How 'bout that? I got around to revamping the Writings page afterall. ^_~ Actually, revamping is not really the word for it, since there was never a Writings page to begin with. Clicking on the link simply led straight to A Course Unknown before. Hopefully will be adding more to it!

His face changed suddenly, becoming brilliantly radiant. He regained his healthy pallor and the scrapes and bruises had vanished. His emerald eyes glittered with power and for a moment it seemed to Taúrë that he truly was a king or a High Lord or maybe something even more. Then, in an instant, he was once again the Ranger, Ariameth. He pushed back the covers of the bed and stood as Taúrë watched in wonder, her blue eyes fixed on him.

Oooo... it's Friday the 13th. o_o I just added a few fanlistings. Okay. A boatload of fanlistings, really. ^_~ Added a 'Contact Me' page. That's about it. Am still planning on maybe adding a few things to the Gallery at some point and maybe links. Also, I want to revamp the 'Writings' page, so hopefully that'll get done sometime in the near future. :-)

Just so everyone knows, I'm still around. Just haven't had much in the way of updates. Plan on doing that again soon, though! As soon as I can collect my brains enough to think of what I need to do. ^_~

"Danger Imminent. Enemy Firing Targets Locked. Prepare for Impact."
The ship shuddered as if it was going to fall apart and then plummeted suddenly.
"Atria! The shields!"
"They're up! ... What--?"
Laina felt something inside her lurch and then the cockpit faded in front of her eyes ... another room faded into view and she screamed...
"LAINA!!!"

Huttah! Back at last! Absence of updates was due to my getting and then quitting a job between the beginning of August and the end of '05, but now the Two Elven Lasses are BACK and going at full throttle! The whole main page has finally been totally redone! The new layout was something we'd done up a long while back, before I went out of commission, but it never got off the ground because of difficulties with the navigation. Definitely go and check that out! (Though, those of you who are still on dial-up may want to wait until you're on a faster connection as it will take a bit to load.)
As far as updates in my neck of the woods, I added a direct link to our forum, The Wood Between the Worlds, an "Other" page for just miscellaneous stuff that wouldn't fit into the other categories, updated Affiliates as far as pruning out anything dead, added lots of links to the Links page and added a TON of stuff to the Gallery. So, go take a look at all the lovely new things. ^_~ The new main TEL page is really just a hub at the moment for my pages, Lin's pages (she's branched off from the main TEL site) and the forum, but we hope to be adding all the other stuff soon and that includes revamping Woodmouse's Corner. Hopefully, once we've got all of that underway, I will also be able to start writing some more. Ta for now!

Chapter Ten - Answers
Believe it or not, chapter ten is now available for your reading pleasure! ^_^ A little boring after the last two, being mostly conversation between the main characters, but the title holds true. Several things get answered. ^_~

As far as [my mother] knew, [my father] was simply one of the rangin’ Dunedain, always restless and always movin’, but there were those, includin’ herself, who suspected he was somethin’ more.

Chapter Nine - Aftermath
Hurrah! Chapter Nine is finally up. I realized I'd actually had the basic layout of this chapter for a while, but hadn't put it up yet because I hadn't exactly completed that RP session. But, it was a fairly good stopping point so I cut it off, added the finishing touches and started on chapter ten. Looking at the code for the older fic chapters... yuck! o_o What a mess... and the style sheet too. So, cleaned those up while adding a chapter nine link to all the other pages. Enjoy! ^_^
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Almost as suddenly as it began, the screaming stopped. Faces appeared all around... people of all sizes hung from branches or came from behind trees and stared with unblinking eyes... such people!
They wore outlandishly bright colors, their skin was a deep indigo, they looked wild, yet intelligent. Their black eyes were full of curiosity, yet not an ounce of fear could the brothers detect in any of them, not even the little ones. They seemed to have never known grief or hardship.

Added a couple of things I'd made a while back to the Gallery. Nothing big. ^_^ Yes, I'm still working on chapter nine of the fic, though I haven't actually progressed any. This is because I'm adding stuff that wasn't originally part of the story. Stuff that you kind of assume went on behind-the-scenes, but it makes more sense to include it. ^_~

Sneak preview from chapter nine of A Course Unknown:
“For what reason would Firnardaion of Mordor wage an attack against us? If he sought only to trap and destroy our party, why not wait until we were far from the woods of Lórien and the aid of the Galadhrim?”
“Perhaps the attack was merely a means of diversion to conceal Firnardaion’s true intent...”

Well lookie here! I decided to go with the new layout I'd been thinking on! And... as you may have noticed. My main pages are hosted by Geocities. o_o *is ashamed* I know, I know... Geocities is not the greatest, but Angelfire's ads totally screwed up the new layout. So, this is how it shall be for now. And it is a bit of an improvement. ^_^ I really wouldn't mind Geocities at all if it wasn't for that "You have exceeded your allocated data transfer" thing. >_> Allocated data transfer allowed is, like... three pages viewed. Anyways, enjoy! ^_~

Here's a new page, Affiliates. Gray theme. Go check 'em out! Still working on that next chapter of A Course Unknown. =P Hopefully some of Woodmouse's works will be going up soon though. ^_~

The most silent of Mirkwood’s five Captains, Lintál is known as the listener. He doesn’t always have much to say, but is quite willing to hear everyone else out. When he does choose to speak, his soft yet commanding voice demands silence and respect from all. --Lintál's Bio

"We marched north; Thranduil, the Prince and all of his Captains along with the entire force of Mirkwood. Thranduil was intent on obtaining a portion of Smaug's treasure if he had to sacrifice half of his army to do it. I must admit, when we at last reached the slopes of Erebor and Thranduil made his demands known, I thought it all folly, but when we saw the great hoard of orcs and Wargs that approached us from the north, I sincerely doubted that I would ever return to Mirkwood."

Huzzah! The Movies & Media pages are finally up! Again, thanks to Lin for designing and creating the Movies & Media, Peter Pan and Master & Commander pages. =) Way to go, Lin! The individual pages are pretty bare right now, but we will hopefully be putting some stuff up there in the near future.
02/19/05
Looks like Woodmouse's pages have finally been uploaded! Many thanks to Lin for designing them and putting them up. ^_~ I can't wait to see what else pops up in there. Hopefully we can get links to Woodmouse's writings up soon.
I also updated the site titles so you can bookmark our pages more efficiently. T.E.L. forever! ^_^

Update! Chapter 08 of my A Course Unknown fanfic has been posted! Just click on the Fan Fiction button to the left to find it. Enjoy! ^_^

Well, I've made a few small modifications to the site. Added a scroll bar to my notes section, stuck some text in the status bar on the main and entrance pages, compiled the styles for all of my pages into one external sheet. Nothing very noticeable, but it's the little details that make everything come together. ^_~

Hey there!
Welcome to my new web pages!
Lin and I decided that not just the main page, but the whole site needed an overhaul for the new year! Hopefully we'll have most of the main sections of the site up by the end of February. Take a look around and please check out our forum, accessible from the main page. ^_^
