Review:
Back in 2002 when I started reading fanfiction, the LORTRPS was one of the start out fandoms for me. It had developed from reading LOTR fanfiction and somehow I stumbled across the RPS side of the fandom that offered a lot of great written stories.

Dhvana is one of my all time favourites in this fandom. Back then when reading fanfiction was mostly reading through specialised archives, yahoo! groups and the beginnings of fanfiction net, I dutifully checked for updates every day on her stories. Without a doubt Daunting Byron is one of my, if not THE favourite LOTRPS story I've read.

The setting is rather realistic and I loved and still do, the characters and their interactions. Colin Farrell and Orlando Bloom are no longer as popular as they were back then and the hype of the LOTR movie fandom has not been that big anymore, there will definitely be a revival Christmas this year when The Hobbit hits the theatres, but Dhvana's story is still as amazing as it was ten years ago.
