I've been reading here for quite a while but have only just become a member and able to review. I read this story some time ago and thought it was wonderful. Few fictions are able to reduce me to tears but this one did. It was compulsive to read and ver y well written. A thousand times - Well Done!!!

I think there is nothing wrong with a Mary Sue as long as it is good. Of course everyone has a diffrent opinion as to what a Mary Sue is. Though I truely feel Tolkien is the only one who can write true cannon. The rest is just what we take and make from his fine works.

I love this story

This story was my introduction into Fanfic. I stumbled on it one day....

It inspired me to write my epic...Trust TO Hope, and for that, I'll be forever grateful to Zee.

Not only that, it inspired a new career for me. I now write contemporary and fantasy romance for publishing.

I don't CARE that it's not perfect canon. I don't CARE that her Elves may not be EXACTLY like TOlkien would have written them. That's the FUN of fiction - creative license. And regardless, it's an imaginitive, sexy story! Just enjoy it for what it is instead of picking it apart!

MY understanding of the review system here at OZ was that it was to post POSITIVE statements or CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM of another's work. Hmm... my dictionary defines "constructive" in the following way.

constructive
A adjective
1 constructive
constructing or tending to construct or improve or promote development; "constructive criticism"; "a constructive attitude"; "a constructive philosophy"; "constructive permission"

2 constructive
emphasizing what is laudable or hopeful or to the good; "constructive criticism"

I don't see how the above review falls under this definition...and it's certainly not a rave.

Please, if you don't like a story, there's a little X up in the corner of your screen you can click. No need to snipe at the authors.

Zee, for myself...I thank you.

New member here. Just found your wonderful story and read it straight through. I don't care much about canon, I love Haldir (more like lust) and loved your story. It made me laugh so hard I thought I might have to get sick on my SO's shoes and then it made me cry, too. I will look for more from you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

I know that probably this review will never be seen by the author but I've never read (and I read A LOT of fanfics and books) a fanfiction with such a whole and elaborated plot. I think it's amazing, I really have no words. I only can say that I'm going to look for more fanfics of you. You are incredible.

I read this story at the very dawn of my fan fiction adventure, and it still remains one of the best stories I've ever read. Thank you, Zee, for sharing it with us.

Best wishes,
Binka

Absolutely stunning.

I wasn't sure I would stick with it after getting halfway through chapter one, but your writing drew me in and I continued reading, drawn in more and more. I am sooooooo glad I did continue. You deprived me of sleep and made me laugh, hold my breath in anticipation, cry, and care deeply about what happened to fictional characters. You even turned me into a Haldir, excuse me...Hal-DEAR fan.

You are an amazing writer. Thank you for sharing this story. I can't wait to read more of your writing.

i have spent the last 2 days reading this wonderful story. while nothing will compare to the beauty you've created in rider of the mark, this is no less satisfying. it is obvious you've grown as a writer between here and gamling's story and i find the charm and the humor of your later works are present in this earliest of pieces. this was very well done. kudos to you madam.

now more rider and as soon as possible, please!

Gosh - that's kept me busy for a long time - in the nicest possible way. How lovely, too, to see Runrig quoted.

i really am impressed by this story and the depth it contains. you've made me a definite Haldir fan! your writing has a great flow and rhythm, each chapter leaves me wanting more, and i really enjoy the individuality of your character(s). I hope you will continue with more stories! much admiration...
