The Road to Edoras  by Dreamflower 9 Review(s)
ViresseReviewed Chapter: 52 on 5/27/2009
Just checking...no, no update yet.

Author Reply: No, not yet! I was quite taken by surprise when my story "Trotter" won the finish-a-thon vote instead of "Road to Edoras"!! But it's definitely got my writing going, so I will soon get back to it.

R2E has been the most stubborn story I have ever written!

Author Reply: If you are still wondering-- I just sent the last three chapters of this story to my beta tonight. I hope to get them posted very soon! *grin*

Of all the hobbit stories at this site, this one and the ones that came before it are my favorites. I sincerely hope that you will continue this tale of hobbits coming to Minas Tirith. Your cast of characters is delightful, and it is good to see them move forward into the Fourth Age.

Thank you for writing hobbit stories that have substance to them.

Author Reply: Well, thank you very much! I only have a couple of chapters left on this-- I hope to soon get it finished, if my hobbits will just stay where I put them and stop haring off into the sequel! But right now I have some challenge stories to finish first.

I thank you for reading, and for letting me know how much you enjoy the story!

Hi Dreamflower,
I've just finished re-reading this on my e.book reader and enjoyed every second of it again! But I am panting for more! Any idea when the Muse is going to prod you to update?

Author Reply: I have much of the rest *almost* finished--it just needs some transitional material and quite a bit of polishing. I'm not happy with how short some of the sections are. There are really only two more chapters left.

But the problem is, my cast is not cooperating. They keep trying to skip ahead to the sequels, or to other stories! If only I could keep my muse away from other bunnies for a while!!

LOL! Berilac and Viola must be causing no end of amusement for the other hobbits with their flirting. Is Beri really going to pop the Question though? Poor Cado, avoiding his cousins, who he will soon enough never see again. And he likely won't be seeing much of his brother either. I hope he doesn't get too homesick. And I got a laugh out of the Rohirrim's version of Frodo's destruction of Mordor! LOL! I hope Frodo never hears that one, if he hasn't already. He'd hear no end of it. ;D

Author Reply: Do you know I only just now found this review! I'm sorry!

Yes, poor Cado. But at least he won't be too lonesome, with the family he has joined.

Of course, events would tend to get skewed, unless someone (like Eowyn) was watching out to make sure they didn't.

I felt a bit sorry for Cado in this chapter. The banishment is such a harsh punishment and Cado might have made amends and done better without the influence of his father and brother.
Can't wait to see what happens with Berilac and Viola. I've been making guesses but I am looking forward to reading the next chapter and finding out for certain.

Author Reply: Banishment *is* harsh--harsher than the squeamish hobbits of the Shire realize, although that will eventually change.

I hope you will enjoy what I have in store for the two of them.

I hope Cado does speak to the hobbits as I'm sure they would be far more receptive than he fears.

Awwww! I spy an engagement! How lovely!

Author Reply: He may, some day...

Weeelll...possibly...

Hm ... I have an idea what Beri is up to *grin*

Clovis certainly doesn't anything to endear himself to the Rohirrim, though at least this time it was a true accident. But he's certainly not exactly graceful about his punishment. I really wonder what will become of him.
Cado, on the other hand, should follow through with this impulse to tell the others he's sorry. I am pretty sure it would be well received, because it would be meant *honest*.

Author Reply: Maybe!;-)

Clovis really didn't mean to cause that accident--but it wouldn't have happened, I think, if he'd been in a better mood. And he's never shown any grace in punishment in all his life--he's not about to start now!

We will see about Cado--eventually!

A wonderful transition chapter as we watch all preparing for the feast. I suspect Cado would be surprised to hear what the other Hobbits actually had to say should he apologize, and Clovis isn't getting half of what he deserves, of course. And it sounds as if Viola and Berilac might just come out of this evening engaged! Wonderful!

Author Reply: I do think he might find Rolly and Denny less grudging than he imagines.

I hope you will like what's in store for Viola and Beri!

Hehehe...I have a feeling Berilac is up to a little payback time. ;-) Can't wait to see what it is. :-)

I very much enjoyed all the neat little glimpses into everyone's storyline! I'll be here waiting for more!

Author Reply: Well, payback's not quite on his mind at the moment--but he has not forgotten, and he's already got a plan. Couple more chapters, you'll see!

Hope to get back to posting more this week.
