Crowdaughter,
Thanks bunches! I'm glad you found it and like it.
I have to give Jael credit for suggesting the ending. It really makes the story "pop". lol

Realized I have never commented on this. I laughed harder the second time I read it. I am sure this is because of the all the heavy thinking I have been doing about Feanor and sons. (Yeah, right.) Loved Melkor saying, "I can swim." Nice try big boy, but no cigar. Seems everyone underestimates Feanor. And, I like a little science in my fanfics. Nice theory.

I'm glad the story continues to amuse. Melkor is a bit of a blowhard, to be sure, but Feanor is just so darned.... smug. lol I hope all the heavy thinking you've been doing is translating into some stories. :-)

Hi Alassante!
Are there a lot of humor stories about the Silmarillion? That can be an awful gloomy book. lol
Seriously though, I appreciate your comments, thanks so much! I've never read Mouse's stories but Greywing has some great humor stories too. If you haven't done so already you should check them out. ![]()

You live in an interesting state, Aiwendiel. And know what they say, the more things change the more they stay the same. ![]()

I dont know how you missed it, NiRi. It's in all the usual places, one of which you know quite well. It even won a MEFA this year. (not to brag or anything) 
Thanks for your comments. I'm glad you found it and like it.

You, rascal! You finally put this up for review. It's a classic humor piece and has a sneaky thoughtfulness behind it. I was reading your other comments and responses and laughing. Of course, The Silmarillion is funny--it's got that quality of "if you don't laugh, it's gonna make you cry" (looking for the lightning bolt from JRRT to knock me off my chair--actually I hope I have enugh street creds on my abject and slavish love for the Silm by now that I can make fun of it?).
Congrats! A worthy addition to the archive.

Thanks, Oshun! You know what I had in mind when I wrote this one. And it's gotten a very nice reception where I've posted. I think it's something everyone can relate to. I still haven't finished the Silmarillion but I'll try to remember it's supposed to be funny when I'm reading it. ![]()
As always, I love your comments.

LOL! I wonder where did Fëanor picked up his Yiddish? New York? :D
Really funny.
