Hey Grundy! :)

I really liked the story! Parts of it were a bit lost on me as I don't know your 'verse, but I'd like to know more :) And I thought Celebrian's nickname was adorable. My Niniel (Celebrian's nursemaid and then chief lady-in-waiting, after being Galadriel's) calls Celebrian "Telpetari" which of course is just a straight translation. Yours was much more creative!

I'm so excited to see what else B2MEM will bring us!

Heya! :)

Thank you! If you're interested, the DoC 'verse is largely to be found on AO3, with some of it scattered across the last few years of the twistedshorts LJ August Fic a Day event. (The whole 'verse started as a Fic A Day thing - a cross in which Joyce and Buffy from BtVS were Elrond's wife and daughter, and it just kept going... I need to sit down at some point and finally get ALL the stories from the LJ posted in some orderly fashion on AO3.)

I thought about having Eärwen do a straight translation as your Niniel uses, but I thought after two Ages of waiting to dote on her granddaughter, she probably had at least one and possibly several names stored up to use.

I'm excited too - everyone seems pretty enthused about bingo, so it's going to be fun to see how it goes now that we're actually 'playing'. :)
