Before you read this I would like to let you know a few things:
1 This is not a strictly LOtR fiction, I am using some of the characters and places and ideas, but a lot of it is my own creation. My facts are wrong, I am well aware. I am a huge fan of the LOtR books and I know that I am writing things that don't quite coincide with the original story. Please don't write to me and tell me every single thing I wrote that is untrue to the books, I already know. I am delighted that you are big enough fans to recognize my "mistakes" and I am pleased you appreciate fantasy writing, but please know that I would never try to write another LOtR book, no one could ever duplicate such a work or art. So keep in mind that my story takes place in Middle-Earth and contains some of the characters of LOtR as well as some Dragonlance characters, and some of my own creation. I have made up names of cities and places and even a new race of elves. So pretend that my story takes place on a parallel reality.
2 I don't mind criticism, in fact, I love it. If you read my story, PLEASE, tell me what you think. I am not offended easily and even if you say you hate my story and I should die for writing such a thing, that's ok by me. This is a fanfic site where ideas and opinions are expressed through creative writing; I think ideas and opinions should be expressed in the reviews as well.
3 Just enjoy my story! It may be predictable, hell, even cheesy, but sit back and let the words wash over you like waves of bliss…or you could just read it, whatever.
Sincerely,
*Savina*
If you have comments, questions, or suggestions that you do not wish to put in the review, you can email me at googoonewsie@hotmail.com.

Onward!
