| Hooray for the new father! Wonderful performance indeed from Old Mad Baggins against the Odious Otho, disgusting Lobelia, and even worse Lotho. About time they got the fear of the Powers put into them. And that's the worst Lobelia could consider for her brute of a son? She deserves him, I fear. | |

| *applaudes Bilbo!* He's become a real parent to Frodo! *loves Bilbo for loving Frodo so* A question, though...you said that Frodo had been "starved for affection since he was 8 years old..." - why eight? Didn't his parents pass away when he was 12? Author Reply: Ah, good catch!! I have changed it to 12. Thank you, oh eagle eyes. :P There is in fact a reason that happened; when I started writing the story, I changed Frodo's year of birth to 1372 because I was young and foolish and I didn't like it that he was so much older than his cousins and Sam. Around the time of writing, oh, chapter 30 or so, I figured out a new way to (mentally) relate hobbit age to human age that I could live with even using the canon birth year of 1368. So, I changed. :-\ I went back and edited all of Adrift, plus Anchored up to about chapter 13, to reflect Frodo's correct age. Since this is chapter 11, you found something that I should have caught when I edited. I'm glad you noticed! :) Anyway, when you get to chapter 14 you may notice all mentions of Frodo's age are suddenly off by 4 years, and continue that way until chapter thirtysomething. That's just because I haven't gotten that far in my editing yet, so just try to ignore it. ;) | |

| Oh YESSS! (Pumps fist in air!) Good for Bilbo! Hit'em in the pocketbook--even better than Sting. I absolutely adore a righteous Bilbo! | |

| If you login and go to author, click on the chapters for the story (The number, not the title), it will show the chapters, and you will see how many hits you have. (That always encourages me!) Only about 1 out of every 20 people or so review. *Sigh* Anyway, I simply loved seeing "Mad Baggins" reaction to the S-B's. Poor, poor, Lotho. *Gags* Lobiela really is deluded, isn't she? *Jumps up and down* Daisy! Hooray! I like humor. :) My only suggestion is that you don't need to put "please review" at the end of every chappie. People review if they are courteous and enjoy the story. I try to review every story I read, unless it's terrible and I can't think of anything to say. Also, surely Frodo must have SOME faults. His perfection (and innocence) is almost sickening. He'd be more believable if you made him a little more human. Anyway, please post the rest of the 29 chapters soon!!!! | |
