Geez, that little stuck-up Al is really getting on my nerves.
He's great, though, if only because he's such an irratating hobbit. I think what bugged me most was Elin trying to appease him. Elin's too sweet to be bullied by Al's over-sized ego. I'm loving it.
I'm excited you all are writing. Sorry I haven't been participating much. I am keeping an eye on things, though, as you might guess from this post.
