"My Celegorm also is a blond, and some people, I know, would argue quite heartily against this, but again, it is how I have always pictured the character. So it seems I am guilty of heresy again."
I would be one of those people who jump sky-high at the mention of Celegorm with blond hair. When I came across it for the first time in HoME I had to double take and then mutter: "This is nonsense! Genetically impossible. Where would Celegorm inherit his blond hair from?!" Of course, Feanor has a cute explanation for it, but still...
But I'm not picking on you for it. Celegorm's hair color is of little importance in the story and there are many other things that draw the attention to this (otherwise highly misunderstood) character.
Hugs for all the joy you brought me with this story.
