VALENTINE'S DAY SECRET ADMIRER EXTRAVAGANZA, Part 3! (L-R)
ladyelleth!
- Thank you for putting up my ridiculousness and your frankly heroic beta-ing skills. I love you and cherish you.
- You are fantastic, and knowledgeable, and one of my favorite people in fandom. *many hugs*
- Ferns of many kinds, hellebore, oak twigs, holly in a carved wooden vase. The arrangement of a shamaness, who questions and considers. An advocate for the feminine from Nerdanel to Estelindë (a very memorable OFC). Moving from the ancient to the contemporary with ease. Here's a goblet of mead in offering.
- Even though we don’t talk like we used to, I still try to keep in touch and am interested in how you are. Brilliant writer who has excellent taste in both music and wine.
- I’m so happy that your life is moving in new and exciting directions! Huzzah!
- I hope someday we will get together over a glass of wine. You pick. :)
- You’re my oldest friend from the old days and I miss you bunches. You’re more fun than a barrel of monkeys! (Get your butt back to LJ once in

- Dear friend, I so enjoy sharing our lives, our late-night chats. I am thrilled and humbled that you write me your wonderful stories, for me alone. You are brilliant and wonderful. For Valentine’s Day I’m sending you a purple cloak, a cup of hot chocolate, an airgun for the squirrels and sheep, a ladder that you can’t fall off, peace of mind, a pumpkin pie, and a bouquet of lilacs. Many hugs!

- You have left an indelible impression on this fandom, even though a Min-spotting is as rare as an Elf-spotting these days!
- what can I say about my dear, sweet Min. Lovely woman, wonderful sense of humor, and a long term supporter of my writing and indeed pretty much everything I do. Thank you, sweet Min.
- you're warm, empathetic, intelligent, kind, funny, a really good writer who doesn't write enough at the moment, a wonderful friend.

- You are one tough cookie. You have more strength than you think
moetushie
- Oh my! Just keep them coming. I may sometimes run out of breath trying to keep up with your production--but in a thoroughly good way!
- You are nothing if not versatile. I really hope you become a published writer so the whole world can enjoy you.
- you were and continue to be so kind to me. You're so warm and welcoming, I adore you so much! I want to be like you when I grow up. <333
- You make me laugh really hard, and you write great fic.
- You two go together like peanut butter and jam, milk and cookies, Aragorn and Boromir. In short, you're noble, honourable, kind and delightful women whom I couldn't be more thrilled to know, both together and separately.
- You are the ultimate Legolas continuity girl! I love your comments - they always make me smile and our discussions about nursery pudding recipes. I am so pleased that you are my friend.
- You are a super Aragorn writer and person. Your Ranger stories make my day.
- You make me laugh really hard, and you write great fic.

- Thank-you for your amazing Chasing Mirages. I hope that you will write again soon
- You’re a true Renaissance woman and an incredible writer. I admire you so much.
- You give great concrit!
- Generous. The word keeps coming up for me. I am surrounded by generous, brilliant people in this fandom.
- You are such a wonderful friend and I admire you so much. You are so kind, brilliant, funny, talented, and generous, so caring. We work so well together, even anticipating each others’ sentences sometimes. Jinx! LOL. You write beautifully and it was such an honor betaing your stories. And I can’t tell you how helpful you’ve been to me both as a beta for my writing endeavors and in helping me get through my trials of this past year. I hope I can be an equal help to you in tough times ahead. Thank you too for creating the 10 year LJ gift. What a surprise
and delight! I adore you back. As a Valentine gift I’m sending you Hermione’s watch so you can stop time and get all the stuff done that you try to cram into a day, and most especially so I can see how Legolas and Beleg and Durthir make out. Er, that didn’t come out quite right. Warm hugs! - We don't interact all that often, but I want you to know that I respect and admire you. And you make me smile!
- Even though we know each other for a short time, I have come to know you as a very strong and capable person whose wisdom and support means a lot to me. Thank you!
- Fiery poppies, crimson pomegranate flowers, yellow lantana, orange Valencia roses, all in a blacker-than-black vase. My comrade in complex villainy whose humor and razor-sharp mind are treasured. Unflinching critic and friend, and I do not use the "f" word lightly. Who else would dare to write...J. Robert Oppenheimer/Edward Teller slash? Who, I ask you?
nienna_weeper
- One of the kindest, funniest, and most brilliant people I know. You are stronger than you can imagine.

- Big hugs to a special friend.
- I love that you are so sweet and funny and at the same time can be naughty with a wicked sense of humor.
- You’re simply a great friend to have and you bring so much fun and sisterhood to my life.
- just because you are very, very, very sweet and loved.
- You look so young! And you are so musically talented!
- I swear, one day we will do a hug in real life. For now I will continue to send virtual hugs, chicken soup, a naughty Erestor and barrels of zen. <3

- your stories always make me smile. I love the way you draw your characters.
- you're generous, kind, thoughtful, responsible, a wonderful friend, an interesting writer with a warm touch, and I love the way you'll ask questions and make up your own mind about things rather than follow the
herd. - Thank you for running the Slashy Valentine swap. It’s a real labor of love.
- I am not sure if you hear it often, but I do appreciate everything you do for the fandom, its writers and what free time you do have so willingly offer to your friends. I am so grateful that I got to know you!
- kenazfiction and red_lasbelin, I just want to thank both of you for doing both Slashy Santas for the fandom every year. We do all appreciate the work you do!
