I have been very lax in replying to my reviewers lately, thanks to a silly RL, so I'm going to use this clever little thingy here. Thanks to everyone who's reviewed so far - each comment is very much appreciated, as I was actually a bit scared to post this here, thinking it might not be up to OSA standards. I did actually chicken out and took it off originally, about five minutes after I'd uploaded it, and then was asked to put it back on. So I'm glad now I did, and and I'm glad people are enjoying it.

And sorry, Ghetto, but I couldn't actually read your review. Kept looking to the avatar instead... Twisted Evil smiley face

Seconded and thirded and fourthed as well, this fic isn't rubbish it's GREAT! I love it, and the subtle twists of humour here and there from the Pensions office to Alderman's friendly pickpocketing drawf friend Fraegi, who loves music, thinks he's been in 'Hot Drawf' mag, steals easily removable things and has a tonne of metal in his face, AND Gandalf had an elderly's railcard? (Laughs) AND Ariel Evenstar's a nerd? (Laughs some more) I really like this fic, it's different and hilarious, keep it up, I look forward to reading more.

Needless to say, this chapter and all its observations about Mirkwood / Thranduil tickled me. The four hotels... Very Happy smiley face That struck me as funny. But these were the lines I liked best:

“A matter,” interrupted Gandalf, “that ought not to be the subject of public discussion. Thranduil has suffered enough hardship at the hands of the press, most especially when his policies on immigration were scrutinised by the United Nations, and his penal code dragged through the Elven Court of Human Rights. He does not need his name to be displayed all over the world again, as a deluded visionary seeking to bring down the BBC. And we shall not have much chance of success if our purpose is revealed publicly.”

“In other words, you want us to shut up?” said Alderman.

“Precisely,” replied Gandalf.


I liked your 6th Age explanation for Evil!Thranduil. Too funny. Great job.

Somehow i do not think Thranduil will be very taken by Alderman and Fraegi especialy with Eomer's sense of humour and Fraegi's sticky fingers!
I really like Ariel's character now, she seems a bit simple but i think perhaps Alderman will come to like her but her father's a bit of a oddball Laughing smiley face
I'll keep a look out for more chapters.

Alderman behave? Perish the thought! Laughing smiley face

Beautifully well done. I'm intrigued where you're going to take this Weave. I can't wait for the production! Hehehehehe, Eru knows, perhaps this will be a good thing?

I am not even half way through this and already I like it. Usually I do not care for these types of stories but there is something that just caught my eye. Can not wait to read more.

What an imagination you have! Very Happy smiley face Great story, a bit depressing -the way things changed, decayed. Very well painted characters. I loved the reason why Arriel is called Evenstar. She's an interesting character. Alderman's interactions with Fraegi are splendid too. Smile smiley face Loved the part with Gandalf's elderly's railcard. The idea of making a TV series to fight Sauron was very unexpected but brilliant Twisted Evil smiley face
