I like your characterization of Elrond. I found this very authentic again. Elrond and Vilya kept Imladris a haven from evil for thousands of years, and would doubtless be cautious at some-one appearing unheralded on their borders. They did, of course, know the Dúnadain, who were Men.

Reflected in the mirror were signs of a rope burn around his wrists.

Oh pants, a cliffie!
Very good! :)

Author's Response: Thank you again for the praise! I hold your reviews in very very very high esteem :)

OOOOHHHH!!! THIS IS GREAT!!! KEEP IT GOING!! Pleeeeease! :D

Author's Response: Ok!

Hmm, you know, I like this. Your writing style is also very good. :) I think the reaction of the Imladrian Elves is authentic, having looked at way too many stories where the girl who falls into Middle-earth is immediately accepted like the reincarnation of Lúthien.

I would like to read a mature, well written story of a guy in Middle-earth. ( Actually I'd like to read a story of a soldier in the SAS joining the Fellowship, but unless Andy McNab - Who was in the SAS and wrote Bravo Two Zero - writes it, I doubt I will see one d;-)

I wouldn't give up on it, although there are so many falls-into-Middle-earth - out there, that does not mean you cannot write a good one. In fact if there were more well written ones they wouldn't have such a bad name. Pink Siamese's, Hobbitland is the only one I have read which I like so far, but Pink could write about a teabag and make it enthralling.

So well done, if I were you, keep going, if you carry on this way it will be very good :)

Author's Response: Thank you very much!
