| CRIPES Alassante! This is just... I mean she... ummmm.... WOW. I'm just blown away! This is SO cool. I love the premise and how you've woven it together. Amazing. I like your ME take on Time Travel... very interesting. :) I can't wait to move to chapter 3! Of course, I'm reading at work between reservation calls, so this is a challenge! Author Reply: Yeah - I took a little different approach on the dropped into Middle Earth scenario. I am glad you are enjoying it and thanks for such a great review! | |

| I love your portrayal of the developing relationship between Indel and Glorfindel. Perhaps the saddest thing in this story is that if Laureanna succeeds, that relationship will never have existed -- at least not in this form. Of course, if she fails, far worse things will happen -- or will have already happened, depending on your point of view. Your description of Legolas is interesting and quite consistent with canon, I think. It seems to me that the Legolas of the books is often more of a wood-elf than a warrior, even though he is skillful and courageous in battle. The idea that he's an outdoorsman type who just happened to be naturally good with weapons seems to fit. Author Reply: Legolas is a difficult character to write because you have book Legolas, movie Legolas, and fanon Legolas. I have written a combo of movie/fanon Legolas and a movie Legolas but the hardest part is writing book Legolas! | |

| Wow. This is certainly one of the most ambitious fanfiction concepts that I have ever encountered. I'm certainly hooked. I can't wait to see where you take this idea. Author Reply: Wow! I'm flattered! I am glad you like it. I have loved writing it so far. | |

| The family and set of friends that you have built for your heroine Laurëanna in Valinor is a wonderful group, which make it all the harder to seem them sundered. Laurëanna has very difficult times ahead of her. Angst! :-) Author Reply: You know how I love the angst! | |

| Hi Alassante! Oh yes, I have read this at another site and I remember when I first read this prologue--my jaw just hit the floor. And it did again on this reading. I do like the idea of 'if just one wrong decision had been made...' And you have exploited that well here. This is a very intense story. Author Reply: Thanks El! :0) | |

| This is very powerful story...So Many characters...I loved the story with Glorifindel and his to be wife and thier Daughter...Elrohir married her now sweet. But things turned dark where she will have to make a choice and leave to help chnage the past...Not to be known as Glorifndel's daugher,and will Elrohir loose his wife too...So sad... Please continue, couldn't put it down... Author Reply: Thanks so much again! I have grown quite attached to Glorfindel and Indil. My main focus was Elrohir and Laureanna but Indil and Glorfindel have snuck in to borrow some spotline. I think the Balrog slayer will always be a spotline stealer! | |

| This was layer upon layer of horrible events that led to the destruction of Middle Earth... Very powerful...Loved it! Pleease continue... Author Reply: Thanks so much. When I was telling people about this story they thought I was insane. One person told me that Legolas fans would lynch me if I posted the Prologue without Chapter 1. Just to be safe, thats what I did!! | |
