First off, your story is set in the FIRST age, not the Second. :p
You know how I feel about it already. Though I totally disagree with the philosophy, I can still appreciate where you've gone with the tale and I certainly enjoyed it. You did such a wonderful job on it! I think you need to be true to yourself and your beliefs and reaction be damned. I still think you are expecting a far worse reaction than what you'd actually see, however. I have found most Silm readers are pretty tolerant with only a few purists who actually scream and rant in reviews. But then my experience in the Silm community is limited.
It's your tale, and so I can't tell you what to do with it, but I think it would be a great shame for this to languish on your harddrive. An author's note should suffice to keep flames at a minimum. The story is so well written that I think that will outweight any other concerns.
Sorry I've not commented on the last few chapters. It's been kind of a stressful week (as if you didn't know LOL). I love this story though and I think you should stop worrying, let it sit at LC a while longer and I think it should go up on a few different archives such as HASA and SWG.
