| O my. Frodo and his Shadow... And the description of young Merry slaying that particularly fearsome bush, goodness! (about to melt) Glad for the female intervention. Also, Frodo seems to figuring out the situation, doesn't he? (He's apparently quicker thinking than young Hornblower.) Author Reply: Yes, Merry’s very brave, until the stranger lad shows up! But even at that young age his innate courage is apparent to Frodo. | |

| Well done! You pulled me in with your first paragraph (nay, your first sentence!) and that is quite a feat, what with me being more of a Merry and Pippin fan than a Frodo fan... don't know why that is, but it is. I had a lot more feeling for Frodo until the movies came out. (He was portrayed as such a wimp! Blue eyes notwithstanding.) But I have the feeling that good things are in store in this story, even though I don't have time to read any more, even to the end of the first chapter, today. Have marked this story so I can find my way back to it. Thanks! Author Reply: And thank YOU, Lin…I know your hobbit preferences, my dear, which makes me doubly tickled that you would give this a look. If it helps, Merry does have some nice scenes…he is my second favorite hobbit and I’ve always thought he and Frodo had a special relationship from growing up together. I think part of my impetus in writing fanfic is to rescue Frodo from movie fanon, because that’s just not Tolkien’s character. For that reason I avoid his eye color altogether! | |

| What an interesting and different beginning to a story. Great start. I am looking forward to reading more. I followed your link from Quink. Author Reply: Thanks Linwep! It can be hard coming up with a story idea that hasn't already been done many times over, so glad this worked for you. Hope you enjoy the rest... | |

| Frodo finally gets to fight! I always thought the movie made him too wimpy. Go Frodo! Looking forward to seeing more of Horry! Author Reply: Hi Leaward, thanks for dropping by! Yes, I’m a firm believer in a strong Frodo, just as he was in the book… | |

| Whoop! Go Frodo! YAY! I love Rascal!Frodo. Must have more! Author Reply: Hey, B.B.—nice to hear from you! Yep, the rascal is back, though to be honest he’s not that rascally in this fic. He’s got…other things on his mind… | |

| ROTFLMAO!!! Oh, now THERE'S a crossover for you! Hmmm... I could well imagine two dark curled and dashing hobbits, one with eyes of blue, the other with eyes dark as pitch bashing things out on the banks of the river! LOL!! A lovely start, my dear! Author Reply: *grins* Yeah, I couldn’t help myself—the Hornblower connection was just too tempting! I must say that image you describe is quite…compelling. *wanders off to daydream* | |
