| *claps hands with glee* I'm not generally a big fan of anthropomor_fic, and much of what I've read purporting to be Bill the Pony's take on the Fellowship has been somewhat heavy-handed and selfconscious. This tale is a refreshing change! This Bill the Pony couldn't be anything but a pony, and his thoughts are ponyish concerns - a full belly, a scratched back, apples and raisins, but also history and legends whispered late at night in the barn. There certainly are similarities between Bill and Gimli: each are proud, suspicious, conscious of their stature as compared to their elegant, taller companions - but they are also tirelessly, ceaselessly loyal and committed to the tasks at hand. It's endearing to see them beginning to sense those qualities in each other. A very unusual, well-written tale! | |

| Wonderful characterisation of Gimli here - I love his comments about warhorses. And a nicely written friendship between two oft-neglected members of the Fellowship... Author Reply: I had never thought about it until I tried to write this fic, but dwarves would view horses as workmates instead of as comrades-in-arms. But I don't blame Bill for not wanting to be a pit pony. :P Thanks so much for your kind comments! | |
