*L* Your stories always make me laugh. I love how you let your Hobbits talk with each other and Pip´s ideas.. *L* very very good story!

Heh, what an entertaining conversation! This little tale was wonderful, I really enjoyed it.

Author Reply: More Shirebound. LOL
Thanks so much for reading and I'm very glad you enjoyed this one!

Okay, this is great! Imagine, no one else that I can remember thought of the blisters the fellows would have worked up trying to do their part. Loved all the dialogue.

Author Reply: The idea for the blisters was Shirebound's. It was she who came up with this plot bunny. She seems to be giving me lots of interesting ideas for stories. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you for reading. Good thing you enjoyed the dialogue because without it, I'd have had no story at all this time! hehehe

ROTFLMBO!! Get him, Frodo! Whack Aragorn up the side of his head for me. The hobbit banter was most excellent and very entertaining as always -- especially Merry trying to tell Frodo he's entirely too lazy! Loved it!

Author Reply: Thank you! So glad you enjoyed this one. Aragorn is in big trouble with Mr. Baggins just now. Merry might have given Frodo a rough time with all of his teasing but it's nothing compared to what Frodo will give Aragorn! But, that's another story. hehehe

As always, priceless! Poor Frodo--and poor Aragorn--no gloves? Hehehehehehe! How long will it take for Frodo to ream out poor Strider, do you think?

Author Reply: I think Strider is in for a very long lecture on the subject of gloves. Between having blisters himself, taking guff from Merry and having to listen to Pippin prattle on about it all, I think Frodo is ready to let someone have it but good! hehehe

lol~! I love your stories for its hobbit bantering and your style is so effective with its dialogue.
“Hush, Merry. If Sam hears you then he won’t sleep a wink tonight for worrying.”
lol! It's funny that Merry, Pippin and Frodo have blisters... these gentle hobbits are not used to rowing boats and doing work that stresses the hands! =)
Great job~ I smiled and giggled a lot. :D

Author Reply: Aww, thanks for all of the smiling, giggling and reviewing. I appreciate it. Glad you liked the dialogue and thanks for reading!

LOL!!! I remember that plot bunny!

“You have to do something in order to get blisters, Pip. Sleeping doesn’t usually give one blisters.”

That was a good one, and it hit home!
I wonder whose line it is, Frodo's or Merry's. I think both might be possible ;-)

Last but not least: I always enjoy it when Frodo gives Strider a lecture! He can be *very* stern!

Author Reply: Shirebound has some of the best plot bunnies, doesn't she? Oh, and that was Merry's line. Hard to tell sometimes without the 'he said,' part of the story isn't it? Frodo might well have said it if Merry had given him the chance though.

I think Frodo will be very, very stern with Strider. hehehe

*snicker* Had never known that one can argue about blisters that much! And the question who is doing which physical work left me laughing - particulerly when Pip discovered *Merry's* blisters!

Oh, you know, now I pity Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas and Gimli for having to put up with these endless arguments for so long! They didn't deserve that!

Author Reply: Blisters are a touchy subject. hehehe
I hope Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas and Gimli don't have to put up with too much of this either. It will be a very long Quest indeed if they do!

Thanks for reviewing!

I think I've said it before, but I'll definitely say it again-I heart your Frodo! As an example I hold up-

“Do not elbow me in the ribs again, Meriadoc or I shall show you exactly what sort of physical condition I am in by wrestling you to the ground

Oh yes, and he could too, I'm sure :D Merry hasn't had any Entdraught yet, after all.



“You have to do something in order to get blisters, Pip. Sleeping doesn’t usually give one blisters.”

“I was on watch until we left in the boats this morning and so naturally I slept a wee bit. Boromir didn’t seem to mind.”

“Boromir was probably relieved that you weren’t trying to fish from the moving boat again like yesterday.”


I know that's a bit overboard on the quoting, but it was just so funny! I love Pippin. Pippin is remarkably like me (not entirely a good thing)... And the gloves thing at the end was priceless :D:D Thanks for this excellent story!

Author Reply: I'm so glad you like my version of Frodo. Someone has to keep Merry and Pippin and Strider in line on this 'mission, Quest, thing.' Sam can't do everything. Thank you for quoting the bits you liked. It's always fun to know what people enjoyed. Thanks for reading, Pip, er, EstellaB.

If I didn't know first-hand how painful blisters can be I would have been snickering all the way through this. As it is I was smiling hard! But I blame Sam for forgetting gloves for Frodo at least. After all his pack was stuffed with all the other little things that his Master might need!

Author Reply: Yes, poor Sam just didn't have room for Mr. Frodo's gloves what with everything else he brought. But I doubt that Strider will get off that easy! He was supposed to be the all-knowing guide on this adventure and he should have had gloves for everyone. hehehe
Smiling hard? That could give you TMJ and I hear that's worse than blisters. Be careful, harrowcat.
