| 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! |

| This is just priceless. It is an outstanding social commentary on the true evil in today's world. And the Mordor Burgers and other various references make it just hilarious. Like "The Other Day..." this is a wonderful view of our world and what's wrong with it. I love your writing in general. Your descriptions are your strong point though your characterization is always dead on as well. But outside of fan fic you really could find a living writing social criticism like this. You have a very sharp wit when it comes to humorously poking fun at our world. Lots of people, such as Matt Groening, make quite a lot of money on this in the States. You should consider it because this is great stuff. |

| Oh this was classic! This is one of the more original takes on Middle Earth that I have seen. I love the idea of a Middle Earth that is just like our world. I loved the bit where Gandalf was mistaken as a Mormon or Jehovah's witness type. ( No offense to anyone , I just got that impression..and my grandmother is a Witness.. anyhow...) Honestly, I was floored by the uniqueness of this story alone. I can't really say much more, except that this looks very promising, and I would love to see more of this story. |

Oh my Spaceums, you really threw me for a loop with this one. Eomer on the dole? Illegal aliens from Harad, Valariah'sWitnesses. There really is nothing you cannot write about. This was so funny and yet intriguing, and on an entirely different level, heartbreaking. You really are true genius Space. Please don't stop!
