Hello, Genevieve! Welcome to Elfwood! I’m sure you’re going to love it here! Lots of nice people and awesome artwork to browse through! Hope to see your gallery up and running soon!

-Jade

I LOVE Harry Potter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who’s your fav character? Mine is Voldemort/Tom Marvolo Riddle (whatever name you wanna use). Anyway, let me know when you have art up so I can come and comment.

You have good taste in books - I salute you!

Genevieve M Fernandez replies: "LUNA LOVEGOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS SO FREKIN’ AWESOME! She doesn’t care what other people think about her, and she’s also really loyal and nice! AND, I just have to say this, but the actress that plays her is EXACTLY like Luna. Oh, and I’m gonna have to be enemies with you ’cause you like Tom Riddle. Sorry.
Just Kidding ; )"

Hey Genevieve! Just wanted to say Hi and welcome to Elfwood! Thank you for popping into my gallery, hopefully you’ll have some art up soon and I can come see! And I have to say, anybody who loves Luna Lovegood is an awesome person in my book!

Enemies? *Cries and runs off to hug Tom - returns a while latter after tasting a lot of the cruciatus curse*

Luna is cool too.

Genevieve M Fernandez replies: "Hehe! : )"

Hi Genevieve, welcome to the woods! I hope you enjoy your time here. Stop by and say hi to me when you get a chance!

Just wondering, what do you have against the Hobbit??

Genevieve M Fernandez replies: "Ahh . . . . Okay, here it goes. I had to read the Hobbit for school, and went into it with an open mind (cuz I like fantasy books). However, what I found was that it just wasn’t well written or thought out. I know the main point of the book was that Tolkien was basically inventing a new world (and that Elfwood sorta comes from his books . . .) but as literature, I really didn’t like it.
I mean, what is the moral to the story? Thorin back stabs the Lake men in the back after they helped him, and then declares war on them. And also, throughout the book, there was one major element missing for me: love. And not even between a boy and girl, but just friendship in general. There was no emotional connection between the characters, and therefore no emotional connection for me.
So that’s why I don’t like The Hobbit."

Thank you sooo much for your comments! I´m so happy you like my artwork.
I´m really addicted to couples that are the very opposite. Angels and demons for example. I like this feeling behind those things. Tragic, despair, sorrow. The conflict between what they feel and normaly would have to do.
I´m happy you can feel something of this in my artwork. Thats really important to me.
(Sorry for my bad english. I´m from Germany and sometimes struggeling a little bit with english.)

Genevieve M Fernandez replies: "Yeah! Germany! Awesome!!!!!! My mom’s from Germany, and her entire side of the family, so I LOVE GERMANY! : ) And your welcome. ; )"

Well, there may not be love as most think of it, but there is loyalty and fondness. Bilbo is fond of the simple life, his pipe and his home. The Dwarves are loyal to each other and their cause. But I think the Hobbit’s theme is more about change and providence (or luck). The characters have flaws (the dwarves are greedy, Bilbo is cowardly) but they change: Thorin apologizes on his deathbed, Bilbo becomes a hero.
As to there being no emotional connection, Bilbo remains friends with the dwarves after he returns home.
I read the Hobbit for school twice (this yr and 6th grade), and I enjoyed it both times. I’m sorry if I’m bugging you, but it really bums me out if someone hates a book. (Y’see, I’m a book addict. Especially for fantasy books )
It’s fine if you still don’t like the Hobbit, but I hope you can at least understand it a bit better
Sorry for wasting comment space I hope you’ll put up some art or stories soon- I’d love to see them! <3

Genevieve M Fernandez replies: "Oh goodness gracious! You posted this comment a long time ago, I see, and unfortunately school has kept me from replying . . . to thee. Ha! I rhymed! Anyway, I’m back, and ready to argue again. Firstly, Bilbo being fond of things, and the dwarves having loyalty towards each-other is true, but still not the type of emotional connection I think is necessary in a book. I do get that the theme of the book is change, which is a good theme to have. And yes, the character are 3 dimensional, which is good. I do like Thorin apologizing on his deathbed. And I know he remains friends with them, but how could he not, after going through all that.
Anyway, I do understand the book, I just don’t like it.
Although I have decided to give the movies a try! I saw part of one of them, and it looked really interesting. Hopefully they have some girls in them.
Which is another thing!!!! The Hobbit did not have a single female character in it!!!!!!!! That alone is enough for me to turn down a book. What type of world would it be if there were no women, right?
And about the art or stories, I hope to put them up soon . . . if my scanner would stop screwing them up . . ."

Just wanted to say Hi! Hope you are enjoying your stay in Elfwood!
