What a larff.... loved it. Ditto to everything everyone else has already said in their reviews. I suspect a short, pithy funny like this is as hard to write as a 40-chapter epic, and you've done it brilliantly. And it's so nice to take the piss out of prissy characters once in a while. Fab. Thanks.  |

Brilliant stuff Nove - thank you so much for a great ending - the wedding was a 3 hankie read... but I'd forgotten this is a PG13 and got over excited at the prospect of a wedding night Epilogue - and then freaked when I realised that this story REALLY and TRULY is over!
A great achievement, and I'm gagging for Book 2... will watch and wait in hope! |

This is an extraordinary vision... when I started reading it (about a week ago) I didn't think I'd stick with it, because there are a fair few elements that I don't usually go for, including the alternative world plot, lots of modern dialogue, deeply silly chapter titles and song lyrics... (OK, I admit to being an uptight Englishwoman) BUT the sheer audacity of this concept and the storytelling got me totally hooked and I have done nothing useful for a week.
As a rabid Haldir fan, I've read hundreds of pages about him, but your Haldir is SO superb, I don't know where to start. I could burble on for hours about how wonderfully realised his character is here, but that would only embarrass me (and perhaps you too). So I won't.
Like one or other of your reviewers, I was a bit overwhelmed by Bronwyn's character to start with, but like Haldir, was soon seduced. The whole family thing was so involving.....
This story has made me laugh and cry in almost equal parts. I loved the ordinariness of life in Lothlorien (gardening, bathing, eating, playing music). The level of detail in descriptions means I feel as if I was there in every scene. And I hadn't understood the level of sadness and pain inherent in the act of passing into the west, but oh boy I do now.
This is simply a fantastic epic well worth downloading, hours of patiently editing line-breaks and printing off - all 380-odd pages (well, on my computer anyway).
Thank you SO much for writing this. I am only sorry it's ended (sniff).
P.S. It goes without saying that the sex is incredibly hot. So I didn't say it. But it is.

| This has developed into an intriguing story and I'm now gripped. I was not totally convinced by the characterisation up to and including chapter 3, and even though now I understand the connection between H and M I still think the first kiss was a bit out of the blue. However, it's got SO interesting and more complex than I first thought that I am very much looking forward to future updates. I am now really enjoying H and M's personalities. As always, VERY well structured and written. Thank you! |

I am enjoying the story so far.. I am 'seeing' Rivendell because you've got a nice sense of place happening. Really interested in your characterisation of Elrond too. The occasional modern word sticks out a bit (like 'mommy') but I'm certainly going to keep watching this story as it develops, because there are so many questions to be answered. Keep it going!  |

| OH MY ... Couldn't resist leaving another review... had to read chapter 21 in two chunks because, like Haldir, I got interrupted in the middle. I thought you were going to be cruel to us and leave us hanging on, like Elanor! Fantastic stuff ladies, though I don't know where 'kiss me you big lug' came from - surely not elvish?! And now you leave us worrying with Galadriel about what is going to happen to spoil all this happiness. PLEASE don't take too long to update! |

Dear reader: you must read this story.
I am only at chapter 8 but had to leave a review... superb, brilliant, moving, insightful. A wonderful slow build in the relationship. So well written that I have not yet been hit in the face by a single jarring phrase or note... Can't wait to read on, but may have to break off to go away and work on my own Haldir fantasies that spin off from this story....
That's 2 Julie stories on my faves list... |

| I really like the concept and story outline - what a good idea to take up the story of Arwen's daughter and mix it with everyone's favourite March Warden! The story is shaping up very well. Hope you don't mind some constructive criticism: I don't know if you have a beta, but you have a fair few typos and occasionally the mix of modern american prose with middle earth english strikes me as a little incongrous ... maybe one style or another would be better, rather than mixing the two? PLEASE don't mistake me, this is a really enjoyable story, just needs a little polishing (easy for me to say - I'm a reader, not a writer). Keep going! |

Golly. Have only just discovered fanfic, thanks to a friend of mine who is similarly LotR obsessed. I just want to say I've read this story in major chunks over the last 3 days and can't wait for the climax! 
This is very well written by any fiction standards and I'm completely hooked. I'd be interested to know if the author is American, and whether or not she (I assume?) would want to be aware of the occasional word or phrase used which, to a purely English ear, slightly jar. If so, I'd be happy to give more detailed feedback - but please please don't take this as criticism - I think this is a wonderful story, superbly told and a joy to read. |
