I was really impressed with this, and especially with the way that Spike sacrifices himself.  It is true to him and an original way to breech the dimensions to Middle Earth.  It is a good blend of the two universes.

 I really do like your story, especially with Spike having a second family here. It's so sweet. However, I felt that you haven't really changed anything. It was more like you just inserted Buffy and Spike into the plot line and everything went on as normal. And Buffy really should have been much better at fighting and with endurance than what was here, but then again she might not have been taken as well if she were. Other than that, I do like it.

I've just found this story through the 'random story' thingy and can't think how I missed it before. I love the way you've woven Spike into the 'backsory' of TLOTR and then brought the Scoobies into it. All characters behaving very believably for the situation they find themselves in. Must go read the next one in the series now to see Spike find Buffy and the 2 hobbits.....

I loved this first part, awesome writing.

This story was so enthralling-I just couldn't stop reading.  Great job blending the two together.

Loved this - did you ever do a book 2 or 3 because I haven't seen them? Please do so if you have not!!
Well done! It felt like you'd managed to remain faithful to both LotR and BtVS in the characters that have been drawn here. Really enjoyable.

Oh boy. . . . the anticipation for the next installments is great. . . so on I go.

Just read the whole story and it was awesome!!! The details, emotions, everything was just splendid. I'm still floating on the adrenaline from that ending, too. Man, I hope Book Two comes soon....gotta find out what's gonna happen next. Great job!!!

grate ending cant wait for the next book!!!

Awesome fic and awesome end to the book!!! Bravo and cheers!! I LOVE this one. Start to end of Book one ... LOVE it.

i abso-bloody-lutely love this story and how you have taken one of my favorite movies and put my favorite characters in it..great writing..look forward to more..N

Love this crossover. Having Spike and Buffy fight for the Fellowship is a great idea. I am waiting for Book Two.

Awesome! I was just thinking about this story yesterday and today an update! Thanks for such and inventive and interesting fic. I really love how you're interweaving the two mythologies and dovetailing the BtVS characters so seemlessly into the LotR storyline. Can't wait for the next installment.

Really terrific update. I love it.

Great update...eagerly waiting for more...
