*little shuddery breath* i think i probably sat at my computer and cried for the last 5 chapters. It was very realistic and i love how sweet that Halbarad was.
I'll admit; i never gave him much thought but now he's very dear....oh god you write wonderfully. You seriously do; this is one of the best girl dropped into Middle Earth stories.
Great Job.

Just read chapter 1 (at work, know I shouldn't, but bored stiff) and really enjoyed it! I'm always a little hesitent about "girl transported into ME" stories - they all seem to be the same inane dribble, but this was really good with some surprise twists in it. You've got me wanting to read more! Well done!

Just found and read this story. I will go and find the sequel. My only disappointment is that the elves, as well as the humans, are prudes and are not shagging each other senseless for the sheer joy of it. I read too much fanfic. ops: |

| Wow. This is great. I just got through the first two chapters, and I love it. The mistrust is what should happen when the good guys find some random stranger. Great. And I love the language barrier. Very realistic. Thanks, and I look forward to finishing the fic. |

Wow, I just finished reading, and..... wow. I loved it. Amazing. I started out laughing my butt off, then I ended up crying. While at work. Wonderful.
I really enjoyed reading this. I loved the realism. It made me stop and think how I would react if I were dropped into a "fictional" setting. Very good. My favorite part was the language barrier.
Very eagerly looking forward to (or looking for if its already written) the sequel. |

I can't believe it's taken me so long to get round to reading this, but I'm really glad I did. I can now understand why everyone here at OSA raves about this story, it's utterly engrossing and you write the characters with such depth that it's impossible not to get utterly caught up in the tail. I can honestly say I was crying as Halbarad rode away in the final chapter.
...right now off to read the sequel |

chapter 15
An interesting note on your reference to the divving of jobs. Traditionaly in Europeans cultures blacksmithing and tin smithing was a women's job. |

chapter 16
The elves would more likely have a penicillian in the form of moldy bread than asperian. The art of Asperian dates back to the egyptians but was not widely used until the American Civil War, as it was the easist to get as the men would eat the bread, mold or no mold. it was used sparingly because in it's lose form of willow bark it could cause harmful side affects when used frequently, such as stomeche ulcers. additionally alot more people had bad effects from asperian in that their were so many bad things in the bark as well. And i just can't see elves stripping trees, even in a safe and humane way, when leaving out bread would do it. bread could be attached to a cut derecting the Penicillian strait into the blood stream. also you are more likly to be alergic to asperian than penicillian.
I don't know if lord of the rings mentions the use of willow bark tea by the riverndell elves or not this is just an observation. |
