Dear bryn:

Okay, not to spoil the fun here, but I have to ask: "[P]revious assumptions of asexual reproduction"? Had these clowns not even figured out yet that Elves were mammals?

Sincerely,
Qoheleth

Well that was a fun read.

I liked the bit about the Mary-Sues...

Thank you for a terrific story. I laughed- and then I almost cried. By the way:

I SIGN THE PETITION.

Curse the Mary Sues!

Weird, but very funny. The zippers and band-aids, especially, were fascinating and hilarious. I wonder what the elves thought of the humans?

most 'informative', and highly enjoyable.

ALAS! Poor Thranduil! No!

I guess Legolas isn't here because he got dissected in the earlier story.;

OMG, this was hilarious. I especially loved your scientific names, they're really a stroke of utter genius. The interactions between the dwarves and the elves were hilarious too. Interspecific competition indeed. I'm glad that conclusion was reached. *snicker*

One question though: if the elves are capable of making bows and arrows, why aren't the researchers remarking on that as a sign of intelligence?

Oh man, Gobelin The victory strut! The hair braiding! Wonderful wonderful work._

Oh...and sorry to be a downer, but it's Eldar, isn't it, and not Elder?

A minor problem! The story is too funny for words. Thanks for writing, I'm glad I finally came back to read stuff again.

Good god, BUAHAHAHAHA... just imagine what the Chimps thought of Jane Goodall... hahahah...

Oh wow, this is too great! I grinned so hard through it my face hurt (being in the computer lab I had to refrain from laughing out loud). Most excellent!

That was excellent, thank you.

Dear Bryn:
I just want to say that this bit of research was very useful in my studies.
I am extremely sorry to hear of the demise of most of your scientists.
Thanks for writing this.

Fabulous job! I loved it! :) I won't waste your time blabbering on and on about it, so lets just say it's brilliant! Thank you!...:)

Oh gods, that was hilarious! Good work!

I would heartly like to join the fight against poaching of the T. galadh and thus have agreed to sign this petition.

I commend the Scientific Research Department of Middle-earth for its thorough and comprehensive study of the T. galadh. Up to this point, I was sadly not able to find such a definitive guide on this most remarkable species and found it a most enjoyable [and informative] read. However, I'm left wondering if perhaps the SRDM is preparing another study of the species commonly called "Hobbits"? I would very much appreciate a detailed guide on that species as an unbiased one is not to be found anywhere. :-)

No, don't trouble the MEPI about the book bag-considering the shocking incidences of poaching that are occurring even now, I am proud to show my support of the High Elves in a way that does not remove them from their natural environment. I was gratified to finally receive explanation for the curious T. galadh habit of grooming and braiding and only wish that I could witness such rituals in person. Without, of course, purchasing "Legolas" on the black market. . .I would be honored to sign the petition to stop poaching-consider my name added. On behalf of the scientific fandom, I wish to thank you for your highly informative and fascinating "Notes" and hope that the SRDM will continue with its work.

Best of luck with the Mary Sues.

How horrid! Elf-poaching? How dare they! I'm against it, firmly against it, and I shall do whatever it takes to stop the evil, treacherous Mary-Sue impersonators from their evil work. I will even consider poaching the poachers. Perhaps you should consider joining forces with institutions such as SAG or the association in Defenders of Middle-Earth (not sure what it's called). Though not strictly dedicated to stopping the practise of Elf-poaching, I would think that the heads of either associations would have no qualms in aiding you in your pursuit.

Happy Elf-poacher hunting, and thank you for the Notes again.
