Nice fun read. This is one of the best Marysue Parodies I've read. Delightfully irreverent. Loved the attitude.
Now imagine all the stuff she could get done w/ 1st Age Elves: Feanor: New blinbling, Finrod could install a nice tile floor, Ecthelion: a nice fountain for the patio, I bet Eol could make her some first rate kitchen knives... |

RE Ch 3 (the second one after the Prologue)
Again, Wow.
Oh No he didn't go THERE...
You have a real talent for showing very strong emotions, forcing the reader into the heads of the character. Actually felt some of the horror described. I hate your writing, always leaves me in a bad mood and tense, makes me want to go break something. 
The confrontations were masterful.
Now I've swallowed the damned hook. |

As Thuriniel said, Very Original. (Seems like a lot of effort to justify a MS , I'm KIDDING.)
What impresses me most about this it the build up of tension. Also, I like your effort at a logical flow of events after things go wrong , not using "Because I said so!"
Not one but several "Wow's" with this one. It is pure joy when you can't see things coming and they smack you in the face, leaving the reader with a big fulfilled grin plastered on their face
I'm hooked |

Well done. You captured the desparation and resignation perfectly.
I think you got it right. |

> I could argue with you for whole minutes that Galadriel was the most realized character in Tolkien's opus, but that would be ultimately boring. This piece was chatty yet academic, unexpected yet not rambling, clear yet complex. Although you spend a fair amount of time discussing Arwen and Eowyn (to good effect), the main point seems to be that LoTR is most approporiately described as an epic, rather than a novel. I buy the argument, but I was expecting something slightly different when I clicked on the story title.
<
My thoughts exactly, including the Galadriel comment. And I liked your reference that LotR leaves so much fertile ground for Fanfics as opposed to "The Classics".
However, one must read the Sil and UT to have that opinion. Which brings me to my only dig, the fact that LotR was a small part of a much larger work. The foregrounding is in the Sil. So much so that I would suggest reading the Sil (and UT) before reading LotR.
You nailed it that it should be read with the mind set of one reading the Illiad and not *insert Great Novel title here*. |

You have the best one liners. Like Letters, this one has little jabbs that make me howl.
