Hello,
I read your story and I want to tell you that I enjoyed it immensely. Though, if anyone asks me, I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much about Buffy and Co., I've read a few very good cross-overs with LotR, and this story is most certainly one of them, and my lack of knowledge didn't keep me from admiring your writing and the idea you've had for this.
I find this story gripping from the very first line to the last. It flows smoothly, and your style is very enjoyable and engaging. That said, I'd like to also point out that I like your characterizations of the main characters very much. Dawn's disorientation and confusion are very believable, her embarrassment too, and I really love the insights into her thoughts. Then, the elves --- awwww, they are well portrayed, all of them, and I do like how you explained the reason as to why Rumil and Orophin fought at the Black Gate. Those occasional references to Haldir's death made me a little teary, too.
Then, I like the glimpses at Dawn's recovery in Minas Tirith, tea parties with the hobbits, and especially -- how her feelings and relationship with Rumil is developed. I like the humor, melancholy of Dawn's being homesick and the switches between the scenes in Middle Earth and Sunnydale later in the story. I was glad that Rumil and his wife were reunited and that the meeting of the two worlds was all in all successful.
Thank you so much for writing and sharing this story.  I had two wonderful evenings following Dawn's adventures, and I'm very glad I had a chance to read this tale.
All the best

| Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Posting my story here was a bit like sending a child off for its first day at school, knowing how much you liked it is like getting a note from the teacher saying how well he is doing! :~) |
