Aralaithiel:
Oh dear. There goes the neighborhood-or to put it accurately- there goes the Middle-earth neighborhood.
^.^ You seem to be very enthused about your story, where is it? May I read it?
I am working on my own right now, it starts when Legolas is just a babe (Imagine a little boy around the age of eight)with his brother ( made-up because I still haven't found any proof that he HAD brothers) called Gloriden, as the main character...It's a work in progress.
Now, as for the last elves in ME and all...yes Thingol, I agree, I like E&E delaying their choice. But I read in the Tolkien encyclopedia that in fact, after a few years the twins do go to their father after they get tired of ME. When I get up enough darn money to buy the encyclopedia, I will quote on it because I know for a fact that I read it there.

When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
A highwayman comes riding—
Riding—Riding—
A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.
Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard.
And he taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred.
He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord’s daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair"
Highwayman
