Finally, an ugly girl in a fic!! I love you, Spacey! Big Hug smiley face

This just keeps getting better and better. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the heirs of Eomer and Aragorn. Very Happy smiley face

And in the Darkness Bind Them: Vol I · Sun Jan 23, 2005 4:56 pm

Oooh! The suspense! Up until this point, I've had a general idea of what would come in the next few chapters. I'm on the edge of my seat now. Very Happy smiley face

Killing off Herilmar and that "bargain" between the creature and Marillion were great! I love cliffhangers (you know that). Eagerly awaiting more chapters. Very Happy smiley face

This isn't rubbish, Spacey! I laughed my butt off through the first half of the story. BBC, Barad-dur Broadcasting Company. Too classic. I see quite a bit of social commentary hidden behind the humor. Even Middle-earth couldn't escape industrialization, skepticism, and apathy of the masses. All I can say is that I think you got both the humor and the AU history dead on. Don't take it off again!

That was so sweet! Sometimes, we all need a little fluff in our lives. Thanks for the smiles today! Very Happy smiley face

Holy Hell. That is messed up. And on that note, Great job! I always enjoy a break from the drama that I normally read and write.

The History of Legolas - The Last Green Leaf · Wed Jan 05, 2005 4:56 pm

I'm really enjoying this story! Thranduil as a good father, Legolas learning archery ... what more could I want? I'm glad you're taking time to explain the relationship between Legolas and his family. I always wondered who waited for him at home when joined the Fellowship.

And in the Darkness Bind Them: Vol I · Tue Jan 04, 2005 9:50 pm

After reading Ch. 9 all I can say is wow. I'm so glad that you've taken the time to explain who the Witch-king is and offer some reasons as to why he is that person. It would be so easy to say he's just inherently evil (which he may be), but the added effect of the strained relationship with his mother makes him so REAL. I'm really enjoying the progession of the story. I know you're a little worried about pace, but I think a slower pace works very, VERY well for this particular story. I wanted you to know that I read every chapter as you update, even if I don't review all the time. I can't wait to read more.

Passing · Sun Jan 02, 2005 11:19 am

The story of Aragorn and Arwen is by far my favorite story Tolkien ever wrote. I think you captured the bittersweetness that must have been their life and the ultimate tragedy of death very well. I noticed a few awkward phrases, but nothing major enough to draw me out of the story. I personally sympathize more with Arwen, and I'm looking forward to reading this parting from her POV.

I'm a sucker for a good modern day-AU story. Rolling Eyes smiley face

I especially liked the last paragraph. I love foreshadow Razz smiley face

I think this story could be one of my addictions. This time of year is a busy one, so it might take awhile to find a Beta, but I think you need one. (Even the best have one). I found some misused words, grammar mistakes, and awkward sentence structure that a Beta could fix. While it is a good idea to always tie Middle-earth to modern Earth in AU stories, I think maybe you did it too much. A more condensed summary would work much better. My suggestion is that if the information doesn't have to do directly with the Ring and/or the evilness of gold, cut it out. Overall, this is a promising start. I can't wait to read more!
