| This was very cute.I loved the thought of them all in costume. Author Reply: I wrote this while I was waiting for the trick-or-treaters on Halloween(all three of them--we live on a busy street, so we don't get many of the little beggars). I am glad you liked this! Frodo and Sam weren't in the story because they stayed at home to hand out candy to the neighborhood children. | |

| A funny, fitting ficlet for the season. I loved Faramir and Eowyn coming late with their makeup smudged; and Faramir's question about names. But Gandalf stole the show; and the last line was particularly great. An annoyed wizard, indeed! I hadn't heard of Beggars' Night though; sounds like a lot of fun. Author Reply: I can almost see Faramir and Eowyn doing this, especially if the hobbits told them it was an important local tradition, lol! Yes, Faramir is worried that the holiday was inspired by actual beggars. I am glad you like the portrayal of Gandalf. I am so naturally cranky that I can channel his personality. :-D As far I can tell, Beggars' Night is celebrated in Iowa and central Ohio and nowhere else. When I first heard of it, I thought it was just another name for Halloween, but it is supposed to be celebrated the night before Halloween. Anyway, since dressing up and begging for candy doesn't have any supernatural or religious connotations, Beggars' Night seemed like a good holiday for the hobbits to celebrate in lieu of Halloween. They would certainly like getting all that candy! Thanks for reviewing! | |

| This story just make me giggle like a crazy giggling woman every time I read it. I love the way you've described Legola's costume as completely over-the-top (it was the sequins that did it), and the image of Gimli in velveteen, setting his own alcohol-soaked breath afire -- just too, too funny! “I am going as a wizard, and if anyone else asks about my lack of a costume, I will go as a greatly annoyed wizard.” “Not much of a disguise,” one of the hobbits muttered as they stumbled down the lane to the nearest farm. HA! These have got to be some of the funniest lines I've read in ages. You are a wonder, woman! Author Reply: Hee! Legolas probably spent hundreds of hours making that costume (of course, when you are immortal and compulsive, you have time for that sort of thing). Glad you liked this and thanks for commenting! | |

| Okay. And I can guess what Faramir and Eomer have been doing (she sings out in an annoyingly sing-song voice). Heh! | |
