I've very much enjoyed this story by Joyful!! The plot line is terrific in that it's a group of slayers in Middle Earth, not just one or two! And the songs are quite the thing! I do wonder if the author would be able to come back and continue to write this story?!!

Thanks. I Usually post things unbetaed, and catch the typos when I reread, which I do repeatedly, 'cause I have a sucky memory. But, thanks! Glad you liked it.
Edit: Actually in the film Eowyn says "Farewell the men." Farewell can be used as a verb, especially in more archaic forms of English.
And in the second one, it's not supposed to be with, there's supposed to be another word in there, "To disarm one of the men" The word disarm was left out, lol.

I don't usually go for LotR crosses, but something made me stop and read this one. I'm a bit hesitant about the spell following them, but overall I think the story is working and I'm looking forward to more.

I'm glad you like it. Willow's spell had some big consequences. Things can never go back they way they were. *mwa ha ha!*
J/K, the laughter shouldn't be quite so evil. ;-)
I do have some interesting plans, so I hope my muses don't abandon me completely. I don't know when the next chapter will be posted, but I hope you'll stick with me. :D
Review of chapter "Chapter Three" from AntiCreator
Review:
I think destroying the palantir was possibly a bad move. It was important that Aragorn use it. Not only to draw Sauron's forces out of Mordor, but to keep his eye fixed away from his peril (Frodo and Sam) and how else will Aragorn learn of the fleet of Haradrim ships heading down the Anduin? If it wasn't for the ride of the Dunedain, those ships would have reached Minas Tirith before the arrival of the Rohirrim.
Then again, I suppose this is the movie-verse. Other than that, a good idea, and a good story so far.
Comments from author:
There is another Palantir. Denethor has it. The palantir Aragorn uses is Denethor's palantir.

Oooooooooooo! Please please please tell me we'll see some Buffy/Lego time??? Or Faith & Haldir?
Comments from author:
Did you read the notes where I said Buffy/Legolas friendship only? THis is not going to be a Buffy/Legolas romance. However, it will be Faith/Haldir. And there are some other pairings that will show up eventually. But Buffy's heart belongs to another...who might not be truly dead. ;-)
I *really* like this premise of the Slayers going into the First's home dimension. Very cool. I hope that you add on to it. Having the women of LOTR become Slayers is something new and different- also very cool. I love Eowyn and her defeat of the Witch King so having her be a slayer makes sense.
Oh, and Faith should *totally* hook up with Haldir haha!
Comments from author:
Faith/Haldir is a pairing I'm planning, and ChristyTrekkie made me some cool F/H pics in her Fanart story.
I've got the next chapter in a notebook, so it's just a matter of transferring it to the computer and making some changes. I think I'm going to get started on that now!
Quote: "Note: I was toying with the idea of making Eowyn a slayer. I really wanted to, and I still think it's interesting, but I want to make sure it doesn't diminish her defeat of the Witch-King. That is seriously one of my favorite scenes." Unquote.
Read the book, and go back and rewatch that scene. Eowyn was a fair warrior, and a great distraction, but she didn't defeat the Witch King. Merry did. With the enchanted blade taken from the wight barrow (or given to him by Aragorn if you're following the movie). The seers who foretold that the Witch King could not be harmed by Man would not have been so shortsighted as to disregard gender. Eowyn was still of the race of Man. The Hobbit was not.
Sorry for the rant, but this has long been one of my sore spots.
P.S. Good story, keep up the good work :)
Comments from author:
Eowyn and Merry defeated the Witch-King together. The Barrow-blade weakened him, but it was Eowyn's blow that killed him. I love both of them, but it was Eowyn who was honored with that victory.
I hate to argue, but it's a sore spot for me too. I hate that they never explained th barrow blades.
But it was the other way around. Merry weakened him, and Eowyn killed him. Watch the scene again. Merry struck the first blow, and Eowyn the last.
