A great story. Very well written.

It is a very interesting for the journal of chapter 1. my only concern is that you should put questions releating to the chapter so, when reading it i can understand what info it is stating and can answer those questions.

Beautiful. So very creative!

The Misc. Books Category doesn't get much hits, and so if you want your story to spread better, you could always move it to the Lord of the Rings category and label it as a The Hobbit fanfic.

Loved your story, hope to read more of your works soon!
