| Thank goodness for such a story as this. I love how in-character you made all the interaction and reaction. I really don't understand the idea of pairing people up just because they're even remotely in the same room and I thought this a great rebuttal. Author Reply: I know. I've not understood all of the equating of the love those in the Fellowship knew for one another for sexual love myself. Am so glad you enjoyed this! I do think that Frodo in particular would have been upset by such rumors. | |

| O Larner! What a wonderful rebuttal to those...*ideas* about Frodo and Aragorn. This is well done indeed and it was most entertaining to hear about Frodo's past...especially at the end when he realizes he's been called on to instruct, rather than to learn. But...oddly enough, my favorite scene was Frodo attacking the cheese. I once wrote a poem about grating cheese in a blender, from the cheese's point of view...yes, okay, that was strange, but the Muse does what the Muse will. Whirling blades of death...LOL. Anyway. Well done! Kaylee Author Reply: I am so glad you appreciate it, Kaylee. And I had to have Frodo in a true temper at least once! Heh! Thanks so! | |

| I feel so bad for poor Frodo. I get what Aragorn was doing, but it seemed so, wrong of him. Will there be more to this piece? I hope so, I greatly enjoyed it! Thanks so much! Author Reply: Oh, heavens--it's been a time since I checked this one! There is more to add to this story, but life has been too full and at times cruel lately, and I find I have too many irons in the fire at the moment. I hope to one day add on the other chapters, but have only two more done and a few more to write. Thanks so much for the feedback. | |

| Graet story, from the guard who now smokes downwind, and Frodo's learning that olives grow on trees and not bushes. I imagine the pots are getting another beating from Frodo when he gets home. Author Reply: Thanks so, Grumpy--and I strongly suspect you are right! Heh! But the next chapters will be coming up probably starting next week, as I have two chapters now being worked on, one each for Stirring Rings and The Tenant from Staddle, and have just finished two challenge pieces. Again, thanks for the feedback. | |

Is it wrong that I LOVE angry!Frodo? The Ringbearer’s expression went very still and proper, and he looked, Aragorn thought, every one of his fifty years. D8 Poor Frodo… This story is wonderful so far! Wow. It’s been SOOO long since I’d been on SOA. I’ve slipped into the HOUSE MD fandom… Then the last few days have missed LOTR…so here I am reading LOTR fics again! :-D! DO you have a LiveJournal where you post your stories or any LJ LOTR fic community recommendations for me? So I can follow you updates more productively? Thanks so much! Looking forward to your next update! ---Katie Author Reply: I have a LiveJournal, but don't post much in the way of my LOTR fics there, although a couple have been posted there. I do take part in the A_Long_Expected_Contest and the LOTR Community challenges, the latter being a monthly posting of a single story or two, and the former being much the same but being anonymous until the weeks of competition are through. Both of those are hosted at LiveJournal. All my work is eventually posted here, at FanFiction.net, at TolkienFanFiction.com, and as Henneth-Annun.net. I have an account at TheLastShip.com, but don't have much posted there, and some of my works are archived at West-of-the-Moon.com, although that archive stopped accepting postings last winter. It's basically just a read-only archive at this point, but as all that's posted there is posted elsewhere, it's rather foolish to go there to read what could be read here or at FF.n or TTF. I'm tempted to look into the House stories, as I truly like the irascible diagnostician; but haven't done anything to date as my mind is working overtime with LOTR still. I do have a friend who has begged an HP story, so am considering writing one for him that would probably end up at FF.n, but I doubt I'd join any HP-only archive at this time, so it would probably only be posted there as a public veue. I'll be working on this particular story again probably next week. Am working right now on chapters for "Stirring Rings" and "The Tenant from Staddle," for the next chapters for these two stories are intertwined. And I have an angry-Faramir story to match this one to write for Raksha the Demon, who asked this for her birthday, although I think that one might end up being written to add to this series. I suspect that each of the chapters that go into this "story" will be able to stand alone, but together will describe the entire situation--or maybe not. My mind has several scenarios working within it at the moment, and how precisely each will manifest I'm still not certain. And I, too love to see angry-Frodo from time to time, obviously, and it was fun to let him have a bit of a temper-tantrum here! Thanks for the feedback! | |

| I read this late at night, really enjoyed it, but found myself too tired to even say Great! Now it's 3am and I'm definitely ready for bed, but I HAD to stop and say - wow and this was great. I truly loved poor Frodo's discomfiture... and the growing bond of friendship. I truly hope Aragorn did not sever it too badly. Great tale! Author Reply: Am so glad you did enjoy it. I tried to make the situation as true as possible. Thanks so, even if you were tired. I've been sleeping erratically, and so have been up reading at odd hours, too. | |

| I love the description of Frodo in a temper! Sounds most impressive and no wonder Pip refused to go in and find out whu the Ringbearer was bashing pots and punishing that poor inoffensive piece of cheese! Sneaky Aragorn to find such a clever way to smother the rumours but I don't envy him. I just hope the remaining pots and crocks survive. Author Reply: To have Frodo in two such snits in two days--that might just be more than the guesthouse might expect to survive! Heh! | |

| From what we know about Frodo from the books he must have been a good-looking gentle-hobbit, "fairer than most" as Tolkien puts it (although in the German translation "fair" becomes "blond", referring to the hair colour, which I simply don't believe :)) So naturally there must have been lots of lasses who fell in love with him, or believed they did. And Frodo as I imagine him returned their attention. As you already know I would have liked to see Frodo marry Narcissa. Finally, I agree with the other reviewers, Aragorn will be in great trouble! Author Reply: We know from "A Knife in the Dark" that Frodo's hair was brown and probably a rather distinctive brown as when they found the brown mat that matched his hair color they brought it to show him before using it to serve as the hair for the dummy Hobbits put into the beds in the Prancing Pony. Then the next morning that mat was found to have been torn to shreds when it was proven it wasn't Frodo's hair after all. "Fair" can mean "fair-haired" OR it can mean "fair-skinned" or both, or it may mean "fair to look at," or particularly handsome. I tend to suspect he had both fair skin and was rather good looking, so I agree with you. And you know I suspect many hobbit ladies and girls were drawn to him, and perhaps a woman or two he might have met in Gondor--maybe even an elleth or two! Oh, yes, I suspect Aragorn is indeed in trouble! I'd intended this originally as a single-chapter story, but it's working at me! But I'm NOT posting any more of it until I get the next chapter of "Stirring Rings" posted. I'm working on it. | |

| Poor Frodo and Aragorn to be the subject of such disgusting and slandererous gossip.I had hoped the people of M-e were better than modern scandalmongers. Aragorn's plan was very clever. Author Reply: There have always been those who see the worst possible in any situation, and the one in the goldenrod cloak is one of those. At least he's now been disabused. Am so glad Aragorn's plan worked, although now he has to apologize to Frodo. | |

| This is very interesting. I am certain that Claudia is really enjoying this one. I do like thinking that Frodo was much sought-after by the young lasses of the Shire. I love it when the members of the Fellowship exchange histories and stories. Author Reply: She was most vociferous with her delight, so I get the feeling Claudia is very pleased with it. (With a wink and a grin!) And I've often felt that as Master of Bag End and the Hill Froro would have been seen as most eligible; and as one who'd been orphaned early in his life he would have wished to form a happy family of his own as is true of most in his situation I've dealt with over the years, including my own adopted daughter. That the Ring would have had something to do with him remaining a bachelor just still seems likely; and with his character that It would have tried to make him a pervert and he fought that and so avoided attachments from when It came to him seems so possible a scenario! Am so glad you like the thought of the members of the Fellowship opening up now! | |
