An extremely interesting story - if you ever come back off hiatus, I can't wait to read it. I find the idea of Earth (or at least, the Americas) and Arda all being on the same planet to be an interesting and original premise. Not only that, but the American's reason for being on Middle Earth in the first place and their method for getting there is actually plausible, unlike most stories it this is well-written with long chapters. Though Mira's (I'm shortening it because I can't remember the spelling) eye color instinctively had me cringing and crying "Mary Sue", I'm glad I kept reading, since she's turned out to be my favorite character from Arda thusfar.

Overall, it's a nice story with an interesting twist on a cliche genre.

I really hope you try to update this story, even though it's been close to 5 years since you have-it's just such a brilliant story. So Mirathil is one of the key players in this story and is from middle earth but is going to live in America then.

I really, really hope you update this, the I won't hold too much hope. Later.

its a shame that you never finished this. it was a promising story and I quite enjoyed it up till now, really wish you'd written more.

Love the story! Love it, love it, love it! Please update soon! I'm so curious as to what happens next. Will Mirathil return to the good old U.S. of A. with the team? Surely they can't simply leave her, a two year old child (albeit a very intelligent, special two year old child) all alone. One other thing I was wondering about, how is the US a melting pot if there were only two basic races who came there? And wouldn't they be the same race really?

excellent, excellent, keep it coming

Wow. For two chapters, your story is *long*. But that's okay, I like it long, actually. I like your preface, I don't think you need to change it at all.

My first impression of Mirathil was 'Oh, no. Mary Sue!' She's got the Mary Sue looks, and the usual Mary-Sue-Special-Powers. But then you downplay everything by making her like sort of an outcast because of it. I actually started to like Mirathil.

My only complaint is this: she's too young! For a two year old, her speech is too complicated and too well constructed. Either you dumb-down the way she talks or make her older like, maybe 4 or 5 years old or something. Besides, I don't think a two year old would be tall enough to reach a palantir on a pedestal, anyway.

I'm still wondering where America would come into play, since Mirathil clearly didn't come from there. I can't wait for your next chapter, please update soon! (Oh, and I'm guessing this is FaramirOC?)

Wow...Just...

Wow. Your writing style is wonderful, and the story so far is well thought out and beautifully developed! Kudos to you.

Hello. This is me, the author. I fixed the chapter situation-chapter 1 is the preface and prologue, and chapter 2 is "Mirathil of Gondor". Sorry about that, I must have accidentally clicked the wrong button when trying to replace some chapter content. Anyway, if you didn't get to see the preface and prologue, go back and read it, it's got important BG info. 'Kay,bye.

Why is your first two chapters the same?

Other than that everything is perfect!

You do realize that the preface and prolouge chapter is essentially the same as the second chapter? Because it is. I like Mirathil's character, you have a talent for writing.
