* AlternateUniverseFic: This story diverges with the insertion of Priscilla. It diverges faster than most stories about girls falling into Middle-earth, and has a different Council of Elrond.



%%* MundaneLuxury

to:

%%* MundaneLuxury* MundaneLuxury: Priscilla Henders wishes for potato chips and Twinkies in chapter 5, and popcorn in chapter 6. She also endures her period without Midol.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Priscilla Henders changes her name to Cilla, so others can say it. Priscilla is from Texas, and her name is foreign to Middle-earth.

%%* SoftWater
* SailorEarth: Any new members of the Fellowship of the Ring would count for this trope. However, the story diverged so far from canon that the Fellowship forms in different circumstances, with a few changes to the list of members.
* SoftWater: When Priscilla falls down the well, and enters another world, she splashes down somewhere in Middle-earth. "From that height, I should have spontaneously flattened against the surface of the river, thin as a pancake, and then slowly disintegrated." She survived, but not without pain.
