Twilight Sparkle decides to try a new spell she found in Star Swirl the Bearded's lost diary. When she opens an inter-dimensional portal to Middle Earth, things get out of hoof. Soon, Sauron's minions are running free on Equestria, and it comes down to the Mane Six and the Fellowship to stop them!
This story is back, and with a vengeance! After pulling it off Fimfiction, I have decided to resubmit it. This story will continue as is, but I will also work on another MLP LOTR crossover. That one will be - what's the technical term? - better, than this one. I acknowledge that is story has awful pacing and sloppy characterization. I will try to make that better over time, but anything is possible :). Right now, I am writing this one because it amuses me. If you love it, awesome. If not, well, I'm not forcing you to read it. Thank you for looking at the trash bin of my creative spirit.

I concur. This idea must be expanded on. I eagerly await the next installment.

I had no idea this was so good.
Next chapter should be out today or tomorrow, if all goes according to plan.

Who knows?
You actually gave me some good ideas there. Thanks!
Next chapter should be done by Friday, if school and homework allows.
Nicely done
while I'm not too keen on short chapters (mostly out the fear of lack of pacing & not being able to follow the story), it was well written and certainly got me hooked on wanting to continue reading.
I think the best part is when Twilight finds Starswril's Journal.
That really got me excited!!!
Lastly I think that the cover that you already have up is satisfactory.
I will continue to eagerly read and follow this story.
Well now you've really got me hooked.
I could see him apologizing to the mane 6 for what transpired but pledging his service to them???
My biggest hope so far is that you will make future chapters longer cause from what I've read so far, you really have something good going here.
I didn't exactly like that last bit with Boromir.
not exactly something I see Boromir doing
that aside, I eagerly await the next chapter.

Don't worry, why Boromir did that will all be explained in the next chapter.
Speaking of, it may be a little while before it comes out. Homework + Boy Scouts= lack of time.
Thanks for the excellent feedback. Its always nice to see what people think.
Woo-ho!!! I get to be the 1st to comment on something for a change!
So first off; nicely handled having Twilight resolve that whole honor thing with Boromir.
Second, you've made a longer chapter (ya for more awesome stuff to happen
) while keeping both pacing & the reader's ability to follow the story mostly intact. 
I say "mostly" in terms of pacing; there's nothing wrong with the story its just something that tends to happen with short chapters sometimes. I just felt there were opportunities for more dialogue & exposition in a few places (but that's just me nitpicking so don't worry your doing great).
As for being able to follow along with whats happening in the story your doing a great job with building the tension.
I can't wait to see how the mane 6 & the Fellowship escape.
(that's a pinkie quote from the recent movie
)
I'm so nervousxcited!!!

"I can't wait to see how the mane 6 & the Fellowship escape."
Escape? Who said anything about escaping?
I am really glad to hear I am doing this right! I am really just kind of fumbling around, hoping to get something correct.
I am glad to hear that the story has drawn so much positive attention. I am glad that you gave my story a chance. Have a

Oh, and I am familiar with that Pinkie quote.
Well I must say, that bold gamble of yours certainly paid off in my book.
I think that's due to the lack of content in those scenes. 
Again, hooray for longer chapters.
However, the battle scene, that little insert with the changeling, & the last scene at the end of the chapter felt a little fast-paced.
In addition to pacing, the last scene with Saruman felt a bit....... weak
I attribute this to his dialogue; it felt inconstant and dry as well as this bit
I understand that this scene was supposed to add tension to the story but, that first bit felt like I was running trying to keep up with the tension then tripping on a rock & falling flat on my face.
Now I know that I'm being more critical than I was when going over previous chapters. I'm simply pointing out these things in hoping that you will be able to improve as a writer. It's hard being a writer but that should never get you down no matter how hard it may seem.
Now the rest of the chapter was great to read and set a good premise for the story to follow. I eagerly await your next chapter.
P.S. Look up "Pixar's 22 rules of story-telling" it should give you a way to tackle any future writers block.
P.P.S. That thing I said about the last scene in your chapter probably wasn't the best way to describe how I felt about it. I think if anything it took me out of the story. Don't get me wrong I understand you were doing your best to present tension with "The Enemy is Coming" scene; I just felt that there was a better way of presenting it (but that's me being all nit-picky about the whole thing).

Hey man, good to here from you again.
First off, thank you for sticking with this fan fiction! I really appreciate it!
Second, how can I slow down the pacing? I know this is a point where I need improvement, but I have no idea how!
Finally, I have never been good at writing the villian's POV, so I'm just stumbling around in the dark there.
Now, I'm not trying to justify myself. I just want you to see both sides of the coin.
Anyways, thanks for the feedback *gives cookie
3376484 Well for starters I'm glad you didn't spout hate at me.
(not that you have to
)) and your case is understandable. Now please don't take this as me being an annoying "know-it-all" (believe me I'm doing my best not to be
) because, in all honesty no matter what advice I give (or anyone else for that matter) this is YOUR STORY. Not mine, not Twilight's, not Luna's, not Gandalf's, heck not even Chuck Norris can own this masterpiece
, this is YOUR STORY.
As for how to improve your pacing I like to think that its a balance of content (what takes place in a chapter) & dialogue (specifically how the characters react to there surroundings). Writing the villain's POV is never easy (it's even harder for those who don't understand the mind-set of a villain
You alone can decide what happens & what doesn't, Who lives & who dies, If your heroes rise to victory or lay as corpses in defeat.
While it's a good idea to take criticism now & again (the constructive kind not the hate) it all comes down to what works best for you as a writer.
As a bonus I do believe you deserve something to laugh at as a reward for all your hard work so far. ENJOY
I'm sorry, but this is as far as I can read this. I expected a lot of things, but this? Rainbow is speaking like Twilight, Boromir isn't acting like himself, and this story is too fast-paced for me. To be frank, I do not like this story. But you put in a lot of effort, and that's a good thing.
Well they fared against the Fighting Uruk hai better than Rohan.
If the orc are Spawning in from the library, why not camp the front door.
Turn it into a siege.

I'm sorry you feel that way.
Really, you think Boromir wouldn't act like that? Remember, Boromir is stuck-up and arrogant. Maybe that's just my interpretation, though.
As for fast-paced...well, I'm trying to work on that. I wish I could persuade you to continue, but it is ultimately your decision. Thank you for giving my story a chance. Have a

Well, they are.
The Commander, however, has back-up companies stationed just in case the sh!t hits the fan.
3476188
hmmm, ideas
3476279
Well, you're right on some counts. While it is true that my characterization is somewhat off, I am exaggerating some parts on purpose.
Plus, Boromir's pledge is a work-up for...well...something. I hope you will continue to read and find out. In addition to the other addition, I am portraying Boromir like this for a good reason. It won't be evident for a while, but never fear! Everything I do has a reason!
Wow I really like this! I cant wait to read the rest of the story. Keep up the good work.
plz update
3476115 Yay!
oh sh*t what about tomorrow?
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!
What is it? WHAT IS IT?
Well, Boromir isn't a dick. Good to know.
You forgot to mention that Orcs eat ponies, horses and donkeys.
