 Oirasse 2009-11-04 . chapter 5I read There and Back Again first and loved it! But I enjoy this rewrite a lot more. The story line is a lot cleaner, and I like the details you're putting in there.
Will there be an update sometimes in the near future? *looks at Jess expectantly* I'm sure you're busy with other things, but this story is too good!! Can't wait to find out how the friendship between Harry and Turambar develops and what welcome prank the twins are planning for Ránewen. |
 Dygen Entreri 2009-10-30 . chapter 5I read There and Back Again before I read this, And I have to say that I am enjoying this version better! I like how you make the Elvish speak in English for the most part. The storyline seems much smoother as well, with more time spent on Harry's time in Middle Earth and with fewer flashbacks. |
 Ershistalos 2009-10-25 . chapter 5tis a good story! I am looking forward to an update and to see what will happen when Harry goes back to Earth! |
 funkichooki 2009-10-19 . chapter 5Oh I really do love this story. I read There & Back Again, and I loved that one too. I was wondering how different this would be. I'm glad you have filled in the many missing parts and stories from Harry's life in Middle Earth, it makes his character (and the story) more complete. Is he going to meet Legolas at some stage? And it would be really good if he actually fought in the first war with Sauron, that would be interesting.
I am looking forward to the next chapters. |
 Crazy Hyper Lady 2009-10-16 . chapter 5wah!! AWESOME!! I read the first one and was so disappointed at the discontinuation notice... but then it said it was being rewriten and I came here and it's so AWESOME!! I'm so excited to see where this goes. I like how it goes more into his time in Middle Earth and I love your use of the languages in the text. Brilliant! :D Hope to see more soon! |
 Von 2009-09-29 . chapter 5I do like this rewrite a lot!
When I first read about his wife, I was hesitant. Then I thought 'Hey, it could be Ginny!'. Then I loved her.
:D
I do also love the way you've written her, she is one of the SO so rare Harry-spouses that I actually accept and like.
I love this story and I LOVE Harry's grief over that murdered soldier. In his world, he was probably dimly aware of the concept of POW - if you choose to capture and not kill, then you become responsible for their life. To kill them when they are your prisoner becomes murder. |
 dead feather 2009-09-26 . chapter 2OMG. What a long chapter! I really wish you'd sometime do an interlude of what happened in the few years right after Harry arrived. To see him adjust to this all and how he used his magic and all. Here he is so adult. Adults are boring :)
It was a great chapter, don't really remember all you've changed. Parts of it were very summarized. I just hope to skip to the good parts, like when Harry returns to earth or when the fellowship starts. |
 dead feather 2009-09-26 . chapter 1I was gonna ask about the elvish. Some words seemed.. odd. :)
Now, you've not mentioned exactly why are you re-writing this. I'd really like to know if you're revamping the whole plot or perhaps just shortening it and leaving some things out or are you just wanting to improve the writing while the plot stays the same?
Good choice that you seem to have limited the wholly elvish speech and turned it into english. It somewhat tiresome to always either have two lines, one explaining what the other meant or then have all them explained at the end of the chapter. |
 Lady Vandelle 2009-09-17 . chapter 1 Uwaa!! I don't remember this plotline (rewrite, right?) being this emotionally driven before! I adore EVERY WORD burned into my retinas during the time I focused and read these somewhat unfamiliar passages~
Everything seems new and/or different. Thank you so much for rewriting. \(;u;)/ Fates be with you, and inspiration, poured upon you like winter rain... ♣
I could not yet catch any things I didn't like, or any possibly misleading mistakes... There are things I desire noting you about, however. For one, I like how your use of Elvish is subtle and not overloading (in my opinion anyway). It allows me to absorb keywords as I go along, and still understand what they're saying without interrupting the flow of the story. Nice. Very nice. d(^o^)b ♠
Obviously, everything is well thought out. This is definitely a classic fan fiction tale I will like to keep with me for a time, and many more, to come~ (I realize I'm being vague, but you understand the gist of it, right?) Anywho~ Again, thank you for the story. I hope you always continue writing, whatever it be, and that I will be there to read it. *Cue curtsey* (^u~) ♦
With Love, and perhaps a little bit of MPD,
Vandelle, Lady |
 Luc 2009-08-15 . chapter 2 Good to see a bit more action in middle earth.
I still didn't much like Violet *shrugs* OC's are annoying.
I didn't miss the dialogue here although it would've helped this feel less like a summary. Then again the time jumped so much that it was a bit boring to follow. The pov change was something that could've been left out. Thankfully it didn't fly around quite as much as in chapter one so maybe it'll settle.
Middle earth time is still confusing. You hinted here that this was in time middle earth was just being made and elves were still migrating. I thought first this was closer to fellowship time. Elfling should be more common this time though. It was shame you really didn't show how they treated Harry after he arrived seeing he was just a child.
You really ought to put a word of this story at the beginning of the old one. That one seems to be on c2's and I got tired reading that one and I find out that now I'm sorta already tired while trying to read this. |
 Luc 2009-08-15 . chapter 1 At least the long dialogues in elvish are gone.
But I really didn't understand why re-write this.. I mean, yeah great, if this is noticeably better but it's always interesting to know exactly why the author decises to do something over again and why would it be so much better that it should be read.
The timeline didn't matter to me. Didn't get what was so special about it seeing I'm not a lotr fanatic. So explanation, above mentioning the year is important, would've been appreciated. |
 Isabelle Eir 2009-08-09 . chapter 5I didn't want this to end--was torn between rushing through the chapters to find out what happened and reading agonisingly slowly so as to prolong the story! Am so pleased you're continuing with this storyline and can't wait to read more--am keen to find out why you've included "mortal" in the next chapter title, though I have a few ideas in mind! : ) |
 Ruzio03 2009-07-25 . chapter 1I don't remember if I already have reviewed this story, but it deserves more, so why do I care.
Anyways, update this amazing story soon, V E R Y soon. |
 cruailsama 2009-07-23 . chapter 5I have greatly enjoyed what you have so far I look forward to more keep it up |
 Eromancer 2009-07-17 . chapter 5I wonder, will you update? |
