Found this while looking through the story list on MEFA and I am very glad that I did. I just adore Gimli in this. Seems keeping the peace will be a problem for a while. Author Reply: Hey Grey Wonderer! I'm glad you found me and I hope you continue to enjoy. I liked writing all the Fellowship, but I found myself becoming very attached to Gimli and Boromir during the course of this story. The down-to-earth pragmatism they both seemed to bring really appealed to me. Anyway, thanks for the review! | |

Re-reading, and glad of it. I love your descriptions, your characters, their interactions and the flashes of humor. I question that Gimli and Legolas would be so foolish, but then I remember the light-heartedness of the Wood Elves in "The Hobbit", as well as the temperament of the Dwarves in that story, and so I grant you that Gandalf is probably wise in his wagers. On to the next chapter (so long as the children remain asleep)! Author Reply: Hey Lindelea! This is odd timing. I just finished reviewing your poem "The Council of Elrond" for the MEFAs. I suppose great reviewing minds think alike. ;) Loved the poem, by the way. I was laughing so hard I was almost in tears. Anyway, many thanks for the comments. Believe it or not, this story actually started as a one-shot deal and was supposed to be very reminiscent of "The Hobbit." So I'm glad that some of the immaturity in the writing can pass itself off as that. You're right to question the foolishness, though. I do now. In fact, I can barely stand to read the initial chapters of this fic now, but I'm impressed with your ability to plow through them. Cheers! | |

This is such a *great* (as in classic) story... and I am too brain dead to write a coherent review. But wanted to compliment you upon it once more. Will try to review again if i find where my brain has gone to. | |

This is my second time reading this story. I adored it the first time which is why I came back. I think Gandalf's thoughts on the bet were very funny. i enjoyed seeing into his mind especially on Boramir. I find Boramir to be a very interesting and complex character. | |
