Yay, I'm so glad you're posting this! There's so much more than romance in this story, but the romantic relationships are strong as well. I like the structural decisions you've made (with flashbacks n stuff). Plus, Elrohir is hawt. Wink smiley face

More, please. hee.

I already told you this in private, and I want to tell once again: what a thriller Shocked smiley face

I'm hooked from the very beginning. I've added your fic to my watched stories.

The fate of ME you described brought thrills on my neck.
It's just like Alfred Hitchcock used to say: first bring the earthquake, then make a suspense increasing.

I'm looking forward to see the next chapters Smile smiley face

I am so sorry it took me so long to review this. I hate work. As I have already told you--these opening chapters are an absolute bombshell. The first time I read them my jaw was on the floor and when I read them again here, it still was on the floor. I love the concept you are playing with here--I've always been fascinated with what would happen if one little thing was changed in history and all the ramifications of that. You have done a great job playing with that here and making it really complex. Love it!

I can't think of anything to say that hasn't already been said so I'll just reitterate that this is great. I've just spent the past hour trying to shovel my jaw off the floor. What an original concept. I can't wait to see how this all turns out. Update soon, the suspense is killing me already!!

This is such an original premise! We read so much about humans being thrown in the Middle-earth of LotR, but what happens when it's an elf from the future? That fact combined with the horrible fate that Middle-earth has suffered due to the failing of the Fellowship, make this fiction a treat to read.

I think that the summary of events leading to the destruction of ME was very effective, especially because loved characters such as Legolas, Arwen and Gandalf suffer such horrible fates. The tone of the writing reminded me of Galadriel narrating at the beginning of FotR. Of the first chapter I enjoyed the presence of the Valar. The descriptions were detailed (just as I like them), and it helped as a refresher course on "who is who" among the Valar. The role of the Valar in Arda was within canon and very Tolkienesque: powerful, yet with certain limitations.

I imagine that Laureanna will accept the challenge, and, although I'm rooting for a happy ending, I imagine that many sacrifices will be made regardless. The plot is catchy, the characters very likeable, your knowledge of the history and mythology of ME shows ... You have gained yourself a faithful reader Very Happy smiley face

!

Now where's the next chappie?!

As Thuriniel said, Very Original. (Seems like a lot of effort to justify a MS Razz smiley face

, 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
