JUNE 17, 2013: Those who feel the need to verbally abuse me for ruining your happy picture of LOTR characters, please feel free to move onto happy stories. Your hatred of darkness will not make it cease to exist, and art deals with all parts of life, including the chaos and misery. I can promise you that I do not use darkness as cheap plot devices, and explore the dark corners of reality that I loathe, daring to express it and through it, some hope and heroism despite it all, through my humble pen. If you still don't like it, I fully respect your opinion, but if you can't be bothered to actually read the whole thing, you cannot expect me to take your flaming seriously.

JULY 26, 2004: I think a written work is like a tree. You can either relax and enjoy the rustling of the unfamiliar leaves, or back away thinking it's poison ivy.

Cultures and eras change and perceptions change with them. Does Aragorn not kiss Boromir before his death in the movie? Does Legolas not mention being bound by love to Aragorn? In one culture, people of the same gender who hold hands, hug, and sleep together are good friends, while in another culture they are homosexual partners. The thin ice I tread is the modern Western culture of homophobia. If you think I am straddling the rope between "friendship" and "romance", I daresay you are creating an imaginary rope; though not a "romance", my characters' relationships cannot be defined as "friendship" if it would restrict them from being intimate. Please, do not draw a line based on your own values when reading a story written by someone else and tell them that they are crossing your line, which did not, does not, and hopefully will not have to exist to them just to please the reader. I daresay it's not the way I wrote it, but the way you are reading it. If you feel that my tree is poison ivy, you are free to leave its shade and walk away. But please do not expect me to dig up the roots to explain myself to your satisfaction, or to disguise my tree to make it look more like a tree you are familiar with. If you have qualms about male friendships in my story, I suggest reading Someone Reading's review of Tears of Yesterday, ch. 9, SakuraSun's review of chapter 11, and Chloe Amethyst's review of Chapter 12.

JULY 18, 2004: Some readers expressed discomfort regarding Erestor and Glorfindel's relationship in Tears of Yesterday. Though slash was not my intention, I am unwilling to give assurances, because I believe art should be free to reside outside one's sphere of analysis and comfort zone. I won't draw a boundary and define my work by saying 'they're just friends' or 'this is slash'.

JULY 1, 2004: The Strength of One Green Leaf nominated for MPA Awards in Best Action/Adventure.
