AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Review and let me know if you think that the main female character, Sydney, is a Mary Sue.

I evidently really upset someone by writing this story. The following points angered the reviewer:

Legolas can speak English. Legolas can use appliances. Legolas loves the leading lady. I pulled Legolas from an undesignated time. I gave Legolas coffee. I ignored culture shock.

Comments from me:

The story would be really boring if he didn't speak English; in fact, there would be no story. Legolas told Sydney that he had seen her operate the coffee machine before and just followed what he had seen her do. He's not a total idiot! I'm sorry that romance upsets you in some way, but again, I don't think that there would be a story without it. If you're too immature for romance, then don't read this story. Legolas told Sydney that he had fallen asleep by a riverbank in Koromas, which is in keeping with Tolkien's plan for him. From page 309 in the Book of Lost Tales I: 'he [Legolas] liveth still in Tol Eressëa named by the Eldar there Laiqalassë'.

I hope that this is a sufficient rebuttal. As for point four, if you have not read enough to know the history, do not comment. I will not quit writing because of one person. There are evidently many other people that love it. Thank you for your reviews. I appreciate the people that like my story!
