Author's long overdue note:

I began this fanfiction at the start of my high school career. The first LotR movie had inspired me to read the famed trilogy, and my own imagination prompted me to write a fanfiction. I stopped when the computer defeated my basic knowledge of technology, and have since lost where I was taking this plot.

I tried to resume the story years after, and was (thankfully) told that my depiction of Tolkien's races were not accurate and that my story was assuming a Mary Sue property. I decided against continuing the fanfiction until I could write something of quality.

I am in my last year of college now and intend to take a year off before graduate school. In that year, it is my intention to reread the trilogy, read The Silmarillion (possibly even the Red Book of Westmarch) and learn what I can of Elvish, maybe even Dwarvish if I can find a reliable source. I will finish this story, but I want it to be a good story in and of itself, as well as remaining true to the world and characters of Middle Earth.

I am grateful to everyone who is still hoping to finish this story – you have renewed my wish to complete this adventure. I cannot promise that I will keep all of the existing chapters, but I can promise a better story.
