Personally I find it murder to allow Borormir to die when other fanfics have him live and the books he lives.

Not only that but it's just cold blooded murder when you konw someone is going to die and not do anything.

I am glad to not rely on you if I had a house fire and you wouldn't rescue me because "It's obviously meant to happen" kinda bull shit.

Now I know why heroes have a hard time dealing with fame because they don't realize most people like you just sit on their asses instead of being the one to make a difference.

Yeaaaaaaaaah right!

I am not sure where the Mary Sue bashing came from what people should be bashing is the weird format.

the girl is actually a martial arts Blue Belt. And she is damned good so there is no Mary Sue stuff ok, unless you want to insult her intelligence.
Elf still has superior hearing, sight, speed. So fighting better than him is not easy. Unless he slows himself down, due to her being a human and not an elf.
He was only blue belt and she had been doing it for nearly as long as he'd known her, possibly the reason why she won most of the wrestles.
Intriguing.
He swished it through the air it experimentally. It was the perfect weight and he wondered if he could buy it off her and smuggle it through customs. The club would love it.
You have truly found a way to get people prepared to the Middle Earth before throwing them into it. Language barrier will not be a problem, I guess?
Hobbit side-transported Avon because he was touching him?
"He tried to kill me, brother." "But from what I heard, you tried to kill him first."
Agree.
"I have misjudged a worthy ally, confidante and possible friend. Had I but known what you were going through, I may have not let my brother, my men treat you so harshly. Do I have your forgiveness?"
Boromir is too kind.
There were about six others fighting Orcs now and the only thing Avon could think of at that moment was: how cliché can you get?Warriors coming to save you at the moment you are about to get killed.
Funny.
"I'm fine, but me mate here got stabbed and…well, can you help him?"
Avon, there is an arrow in your back!..
"Boro? Oh please don't tell me you're giving them nicknames?" She looked annoyed and he gave her an incredulous look. "What! And you teaching them Monty Python isn't as bad?"
I am not a fan of making clown of myself, so I will stick with giving them nicknames.
I know from experience that the ring is only used by the Dark Lord, it can't be wielded by anyone else and even if it had some hidden power in it somewhere, it can't be used by a mere mortal.
Remember that...
Maybe he could slip off after the part where Boromir was meant to die and let the adventure continue for the rest of them while he went back to Rivendell. It was perfect.
Then Boromir would die somewhere else.
It wouldn't take him home, it would never save the world, so why was he becoming so attached to it? Like a drug. The thought snapped him back and he fell back into his chair, breathing heavily.
Good luck, Avon.
Darn it, Mell, what does it matter, nine or eleven? You may have proclaimed yourself servant of Aragorn, but he has not proclaimed himself servant of Boromir.
Ah, Mel wants freedom to go somewhere else.
They were fighting each other, not on any team but their own and each was trying to fight off two others at the same time. It was an interesting combination
Brilliant.
His blue eyes caught his attention, they were so familiar, so annoyingly familier and he still didn't know how he could despise someone he hardly knew, even if they had been here for over two weeks.
Is Legolas similar in appearance to the person who left Mel without saying goodbye? Ah, the person who died, who was Avon's friend?
Mel, I know you were afraid. Damn girl,
Stop giving her identity away.
His suspicions of Avon's death forcing the ring to place more emphasis on himself seemed well founded right now, the headache was back and worse than it had ever been. He ignored it.
Poor Legolas.
"Agh! Staff!" He dropped back to his knees and felt something cool and long placed into his hands, the staff becoming a great asset to his balance and previously unbearable pain through his leg.
Wasn't Avon's staff broken into pieces by the troll?
Why is Avon blind?
What the hell had been in that poison, and why hadn't it just killed him straight out like the elf had said it would?
Intriguing.
Avon felt the bandage over his eyes to make sure it was still there. Yes he was still blind, so how the heck did he know that Sam had nodded when he couldn't even see it?
Hyuuga...
you and I can never truly again be friends, nor will you ever see the world the same again.
I hope it's not true.
Avon and Legolas are possessed by the Ring? Darn.
The older man's eyes glittered and he smiled genuinely for the first time in ages. "I look forward to it."
Glad.
Ring, Ring, Ring of Fire... Cannot you see that you can hardly ensnare all three of them at the same time?
Avon's exclamation of surprise was cut off by a sudden searing pain through his skull, and he choked on a scream.
I hope somebody heard your scream.
Boromir studied him for a moment, his eyes still wary. "Everything?" "Give me what you got."
I see. Avon knows he should not have given up his fight against the Ring, even if the Ring is strong, and Avon knows wants to know everything the Ring made him do, so that Avon would
It was so unlike Avon that it was almost as if someone else was inhibiting his body. 'He would be home, and I would have you.'
Glad Boromir understands.
Darn, that is one of the reasons I dislike several travellers jumping together from one world to another: they can be used against each other as hostages.
Good day, good night, and good luck, Avon, Boromir, Mel.

LOL! I love the banter between Avon and Mel, it was hilarious! And that was one dirty but awesome trick when she wanted to distract him. Pretty great stuff, I can't wait for more!

One of the most interesting prologues I've read. Somethin about the way you write draws me in. It is...healthy to finnaly see a male oc...that's not gay for legopants. Really, does no one else get the distinct feeling this might be the on male oc LOTR fics out there.

All jokes aside you are talented and I urge you to continue to write. I read some of the reviews. They say your having family troubles? I don't lie when I say that i know what you are or have gone through, but you can't let regret and sadness control your life. Remember the good times you had together and keep him in your heart. You got a strong pair of legs, you should get up and use em'

i thought this was slash? *confused* *shrugs* oh well i like it anywayz I am very very sad that boromir's dead though, very sad I am even feeling the need to cry *sniff*

i absolutely LOVE the story! i really hope you update soon, but as it appears to be over a year since your last update you probably wont. i wish you would change your mind about that ]

Ok Please tell me the relationship between Mel and Avon will remain sibling like.

Heya girly,

glad to see you're starting your writing again. Will have to read the entire story again, as my memory sucks big time!

Looking forward to the upcoming chaps!

*hugs*

Sorry to hear about your da. I know how it feels to loose someone two but to stop doing what you love for years isn't the answer. When I lost my brother during high school I would spend hours just imagining his voice reading the stories I wrote and saying that I could do better. It felt weird not having him around to pick with me but people die we either let it consume us or we move on. That may sound cruel but its the truth. Doesn't mean that part of them won't always be with us but dead is dead and you just got to deal with that.

Hope you feel up to living again.

Hey,

I like you're fic so far. I think it's great that you've got a male OC,as most stories with original characters are female. It's a bit ironic how a story which save for arwen and eowyn has always been a boys fantasty world, has turned out to have such a large female following who wish to actually live in that world. I blame Orlando Bloom, but maybe that's just me.

Having read so much fluff and such, it was a relief to find someone else who while engaging a strong female character as a possible focal point, has not forgotten the laws of that world, nor the realites that go along with such a midevil culture. Your reference to her being left to become a barmaid, or being seen as baggage was realistic.

I never appreciated how so many people seem to forget that women no matter how skilled in warfare would never have been willingly taken into battle, or even somewhere with the risk of such a thing.

I'm a little worried though, as I hope this isnt going to be a Leggy Bashing or Leggy Creepy fic. He isnt one of my favorite characters, as Tolkien never did alot with him, but I'm of the "Can't we all get along?" Variety, so I hope this isnt one of those.

You're story is so addictive that I doubt that I'd stop reading even if it was. I've always been a bit disappointed at how few talented writers there are in this genre. It seems as though most of the really enjoyable fic writers, tend to stick to anime.

This is all kind of rambly, sorry about that. I'm sorry to hear about your father, and I hope that he improves. I'm not sure if you're a religious person or not, so I hope this won't offend you but I would like to light a healing candle for him.

Yeah, I changed my name - I flat out refuse to be Hathor3!

I really enjoyed this chapter. It's so fantastic to see it back again - it's a story I really connect with. If you keep on producing chapters this good, don't rush it though!

I think I will go and re-read this, now. I have some free time, and I just remembered how much I enjoyed it.

(I remember you mentioning you had a LiveJournal. I'm at ~hathy_col...)

beautiful chapter! :) i really liked this one a lot, and you're welcome for the heads up! more more more please! *sneaks you some sugar cookies* please?

*laughs* Don't worry too much about me, I'll be all right. I sort of figured that it would get darker as the story continued. Hell, even LotR isn't exacty merry and cheerfulment till the very end of RotK. I just started reading it all at once, and it kind of overloaded my system for a bit. *shrug* Anyway, one of these days I'll actually sign up on , and you can explain some my gueses, but I'm going to wait until my computer doesn't crash every three weeks (I swear it's almost clock-work).

What do you mean, Legolas might not survive? *cries* The only reason why I liked him in the books was because he went to Valinor with Gimli...I think I'll stop that before I continue that train of thought. I don't care too much if it gets a little canon, as long you stay roughly around the same basic premises Tolkien wrote. *sympathetic noises* This would be a very hard chapter to write. Going truly insane like that..would be painful on both sides. At least Fred has left Avon alone, though that beginning conversation makes me wonder how truly stable he was even before Fred. Still, he is likeable all the same.

No cliffhangers. Yay!
