The Multi-Faceted Mr. Frodo  by Gentle Hobbit 5 Review(s)
ArmarielReviewed Chapter: 1 on 10/30/2005
Vivid, beautifully written, sweet but not too. A lot of heart in a few words!

Wow, these are very powerful. I did like the healing one a lot -- very evocative.

Author Reply: Thank you! I find that when I attempt "FrodoHealing", that the sense of touch comes into it somehow. I know nothing about herbs and potions and whatnot (and would rather read other, more knowledgeable people's writings about that), but I'm very flattered and happy to hear that what I feel I can write about is effective.

Yay! I'm glad you're collecting all your lovely, short gems from LJ over here as well! Re-reading them is a pleasure. :)

The title is great... and appropriate, of course. :)

Author Reply: Thank you, Nivina! Yes, I know that I'm going to have fun revisiting the ficlets and reconsidering how they might best fit together.

I'm rather fond of the title too! But the title itself has ended up being multi-faceted too! Have a look at my response to Shirebound below...

I'm so glad you're posting these here, and I love the title! Frodo truly is as multi-faceted and full of light as any gem.

:)

Author Reply: It's nice to bring them all together and revisit them. I think that this way, with them being posted in themes, it gives a little more... ?meaning, ?connection between them.

As for the title... I had to laugh! This is the title I wanted, but over at ff.net, it is The Many Facets of Mr. Frodo, because the hyphen kept disappearing! I didn't like the look of "The MultiFaceted..." But I prefer "multi-faceted" to "many facets". So Stories of Arda has the title as it should be. Hurrah!

Wow . . . that took my breath away. Do you have more of this up your talented sleeve? Please write more . . . it's just beautiful.

Thanks and happy typing

Author Reply: Thank you! Yes, I have quite a bit more. They're not all like this -- there is a variety of moods and styles -- but I will be posting them in subsequent chapters in themes. I hope that you will find those as pleasing.
