rate_review Reviews

I've read a lot of fiction in my life... but never have I read something so full and well presented. I love the fact that in its length, every character is so formed and intricate. I also wish I could multiply myself... as you deserve at LEAST one review per word you have written. You are most appreciated and I find myself at a loss to appropriately impart my joy in reading what you share with us. Thank you so very much :)

Hi no idea if you still get reviews when stories have been on the site as long as this but thought I'd give it a go! I thoroughly enjoyed this story although it should have come with the health warning you suggested! Naturally when stories go off canon as much as this one has it is impossible to stay completely true to character but I felt you managed to stay true to the essence of the book whilst telling a rather beautiful love story. Sorry if that sounded a little pompous or patronising I am afraid I do not have your way with words! Really just wanted to say thank you for a lovely story that has been especially appreciated at this time as I have just had a rather nasty and painful medical procedure.
Sincerely yours

Sandra

Holy Cow!!! I can't believe it's finally over. When i first saw this fic, i was a bit reluctant to start reading this mainly because it's over 100 chaps and well i was bloody busy with assignments and all. However, golfie x leggy pairing has been one of my fav and the rabid yaoi fan girl in me couldn't resist the temptation. I must say, it's worth all my time reading this. I don't know much about LOTR as i've only watched the films (I tried to read the books but the names and the details are really hard to grasp and i just gave up - i like triller books anyway). Btw, you've my respect for writing this beautifully written fic that's one of the best i've ever read (this isn't a blind praise, and i don't really want to think so). I like how you lay out the characters that match the story background naturally. I've been a fan of your work for a while now (i've read most of your HP fics) and i'd like to say continue writing. Ja ne.

i love this story soooooo much ......its very long im not even half way finished ....i noticed that all the stories you have written are long ....do you have any pointers for a first time fanfic writer? thanks for all the stories

What a fantastic story!!!! I've spent the last three nights reading it and loved very bit of it!! The characters have been wonderful, and so well developed chapter by chapter that its been difficult to tear myself away. WELL DONE

this story took me from friday(5/27/05) to monday(5/30/05) to finish completely. while i did take time to sleep, most of it was laying in bed waiting for my parents to fall asleep so i could sneak downstairs, and then accidently sleeping with my contacts on..damn my stupid eyes! this is my favorite legolas/glorfy story and from now on, they are one of my favortite pairings. this has been a great experience for i have never read a ff so long before! my parents actually told me i read to much..hmm scary. i have throughly enjoyed this story it was written beautifully! i loved the length, and reading while it was finished was a source of great laughs when you say "only about 20 chapters left" when there was around 60! i hope you write a sequel soon!

I just wanted to tell you that I loved this story andovedoved the way you wrote it in!
I could probably read it 1000 times more!
What did you say? You asked me if I have a life?
Well...errrr...actually yes...
*giggles*
Take care! love/ Mitz

I am absolutely speechless! Fantastic story and would gladly sell a soul or two to have a sequel.

hey man! guess what. i know this is gonna sound trivial, but i love the names of your chapters. it's usually confusing enuf not to give away what's inside the chapter, but one we've done reading and we re-read the chapter title it's just so funny! like 'stop...or i'll burst' and 'age is no restriction' and all. lol! that's so great. and i've commented about glorfindel's beautiful fall from the trees, so now i'm gonna comment on Elrond/Erestor. *SQUEE*. i LOVE that pairing. i've never been able to mentally picture Elrond getting smutty at all, it's always been too gross an image, but somehow you pulled it off, and now i'm a huge fan of smutty elrond! okay, i admit, i've ALWAYS been a huge fan of smutty elrond, but until your fic i've never been ablt to bring myself to visualise him naked, him being an elf lord and old and whatnot. heh. guess that's all for now. i know you've completed writing the fic, but still, thanks. it's awesome.

yeah. you're right. i just absolutely have to review this chapter. (just in case, it's Jewel of Mirkwood, chappie 39)
man'm s'm skipping an assignment because of this, it's so fucking good. and you know what, i'm soooo thankful i only stumbled upon it AFTER you've done writing. i dont think i can take the suspence of not being able to just quickly click the 'next' button at the end of the chapter.

ah. and now for the proper review. i had to send this here, now, cos of The Fall. OMG, that was absolutely awesome. the moment you described glorfindel walking out and standing at the edge with his hair whipping about his face the whole thing just etched in my head in full graphic detail. it was like watching a movie, i could see his hair, and the darkness, and his expression, and then later when he took a step back i was like "NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" and hoping that hey, maybe i was wrong and he *wouldnt* fall, only he did, and i can just imagine the slow realization on his face as he finds he stepped back into nothingness, and the slow horror on *haldir's* face (btw, did i mention i'm a haldir fangirl) as he realises G was about to fall, and how awful it would have been for H to know that he *caused* G to step back so indirectly H *caused* G to loose his balance.

and i can imagine the wind and the horrified shocked silence and then H leaping forward, and G just f..a..l..l..i..n..g as if into an abysm, and the absolute horror (i know i've used this word so many times but i cant think of any replacement suitable enuf) of *watching* him fall and being helpless to do anything, and then maybe H's desperate hope that G would be okay just *dim* and then... (gasp)... H screams... fantastic.
darn! curse it! why does it have to be so damn good?! i have an essay to research on but i just...cant...stop...reading.... *gasp*

hugs,
