| Poor Hildifons. He hoped no other hobbit ever faced a decision like that. Foreshadowing. :( *hugs Bilbo...and Frodo* | |

| I like the way Hildifons' story makes Bilbo reflect upon his own life and his own writing. They are connected but they are still very different. Bilbo did still have a choice even after all he'd been through. Hildifons was not as lucky. | |

| Foreshadowing. I love it. *wibble* Author Reply: *wibbles with you* One of the more brilliant and fun things about writing fanfiction is that it takes very few words-- the merest allusion-- to evoke an emotional response from the reader. It's one way in which original fic is at a disadvantage, as the subtleties available to a fanfic writer aren't there. | |

| Alas another hobbit did have to face that. An interesting chapter and a bit of a heartache because of that last bit. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Yes, I was doing a bit of echoing and foreshadowing here. One of the delights of writing fanfic is that it takes very few words to evoke a certain feeling, because the reader already knows what will happen... | |

| Poor Hildifons. He hoped no other hobbit ever faced a decision like that. And yet, it will be his own chosen heir that must make this very same choice, for much the same reasons. I like that it was Hildifon's journal that caused Bilbo to write his own memoirs in such a carefree way, as he had always told it to the children of the Shire. Author Reply: Well, of course I was doing a bit of foreshadowing there. I think Bilbo was by nature, a more reticent sort of person-- much like Frodo, I don't think he would have cared to bare his soul to the world. | |

| Oh, indeed! Definitely the things that Bilbo would have pondered at this point! Losing respectability is one thing.... Author Reply: ...but losing a limb, or becoming crippled in some way is quite another. Yes, indeed! | |
