A Longer Road  by Shireling 2 Review(s)
Kit5Reviewed Chapter: 6 on 9/6/2003
That was the best "post-Grey Havens Sam" fic I have ever read. I can see this happening, that Sam's anguish extends to and wounds Rosie, and I think she carried the thought with her all her life that Frodo left because of her (he didn't, but I can see how she would think that.) Very, very wonderful story.

Author Reply: Kit,
Many thanks for your kind words and encouragement.
The story isn't finished yet but I am working on it!!maybe 2 or 3 more chapters.
This story has been buzzing in my head since I first read LOTR, long before I came across fanfiction. Sam has always tugged at my heart and I have found this a very emotional story to write.

Oh poor Sam, I really felt so sorry for him. That was beautiful Shireling, very emotive. I choked up reading the last chapter :, - }

Author Reply: Greetings from a fellow Hobbit lover.
Thank you for taking the time to review. Sam has always been a favorite of mine-I love his simplicity and his devotion.

I have a couple more chapters planned for this story but at the moment they are resisting all efforts to flow towards a happy/hopeful conclusion!!!
