Merry's Graduation  by PIppinfan1988 6 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: Epilogue 2 on 10/3/2006
I was just checking to see if I managed to miss anything during one of my frequent down times, and rejoice to find I missed only this.

And now Degger goes on to find out more of his own family history, and we see Pippin's dad taking on the proper role of Thain at last. Ferumbras as you write him tends to be as formidable and almost as unpleasant as Lalia. Ah, well, he certainly wasn't likely to get encouragement to do super well with Lalia as his mother.

It is one of my biggest joys - encouraging you :)

Looking forward to the next part of the story!!

Many hugs and blessings!

Poor Degger, what a huge disappointment to swallow and how well he did it too. Sorry I didn't drop in as often as I intended to review but promise to try and do better with the next tale - looking forward to it.

Author Reply: Thank you, Harrowcat!

Please humor an old lady and allow me to explain my foolish blunder. When I posted these last chapters on Saturday, it was about 11:30pm EST, give or take a few minutes. Way past my normal bedtime. I didn't even go back and comb over the reviews for names when I included some in my Thank You portion--I just threw out the ones most familiar to me. I was exhausted. I did go back today to ensure I didn't miss anyone else other than you. I would have done this yesterday, but I was entertaining family and was hardly online at all. I do apologize for overlooking your deserved recognition and gratitude--and all anyone has to do is just drop *one* note of encouragement and I can pretty much guarrantee that I will profusely thank that person (YOU!) because your thoughts and opinions mean the world to me. :-)

I look forward to seeing you round in the next tale! :-)

p.s. Take another look at the names! ;-)

I will officially go on record as encouraging you to write as many stories about young Pippin and Merry and Degger and Pervinca as you have time to write. You know that the first one in the series, "Irrepressable Pippin" is one of my all time favorites of your tales and since I like all of your stories that's saying something. I can't wait for the next one to begin. I look forward to Merry's tutoring efforts, more success from Degger, more of your wonderful Pervinca and most of all, more irrepressable Pippin. Also, it will be fun to hear Paladin take on the Thain!

Author Reply: LOL, then the record stands. :-) Be careful for what you wish for, becuase it might accidentally come true! Yes, in the next tale I want to go into Merry's tutoring abilities as well. We'll see what the Muse has me write in the coming weeks. *wicked laughter*...I have plans for Paladin and Ferumbras. ;-)

Take care and thanks again for all your wonderful and much needed encouragement.

Ooo, looking forward to the Paladin-Ferumbras confrontations, or whatever you have planned for them.

Nice to know there's more in the works.

Glad to be of help. I'm learning a lot about writing and how different people's creative processes work from talking with you.

Sorry if my own spelling is lacking, but I'm really tired and am headed straight to bed as soon as get done here.

GT.

Author Reply: I'm not far behind you...it's about 9:45pm right now. Yes, I certainly have plans, my dear. ;-) I'll probably start writing this weekend, but won't post until I have everything pretty much fleshed out.

Thank you again for the betas, and for being the faithful reader that you are. See ya soon.

It's been a fun tale to read, and I look forward with much anticipation to seeing more of the duel of wits between Paladin and Ferumbras.

I'm so glad I popped in for a few moments before signing off for the night, and found the last chapter posted!!

Author Reply: Duel...? Did you say duel....? (wicked laughter)

I am so glad you did, too! I so look forward to your bits and pieces--they often make me laugh, make me think...or simply make my day. I knew it was late when I posted and really didn't expect anything until this morning, so your review was a very pleasant surprise. :-) Thank you again for taking the time to read and leave encouraging words!

Until next time...
