| Of course, given the rather peaceful setting of the previous chapters, this had to come. And Legolas had been spared so far, so it was high time that bad luck met everybody's favourite elf. Your descriptions of Pippin's feelings as he was torn away by the water were so vivid that I almost froze and went claustrophobic! But the worst part of it was that I saw it coming. From the moment the Hobbits' watched the hidden water course I knew disaster would strike (not too surprising, given the title of that chapter), and that one of them would fall in. Agreed, I did not expect two of them being swept away ... BTW is there any member of the fellowship that has been spared major or minor injury or mishap on your part? Merry broke his wrist, Pippin was almost skewered by his own cousin and now is about to drown, Sam hurt himself with a bow, Aragorn was almost shot by a crossbow-bolt, Legolas is about to drown, I dimly remember Boromir being swept away by the current when they were practising their boating skills, and Frodo ... (I won't go into detail). I cannot remember, though, if something already happened to Gimli. If not, that would leave him the next to encounter something nasty (or cold, wet, painful, or all of them together). *Shudder* Anyway, I want more !!! Author Reply: Of course! You knew all that peace and quiet wouldn't last! Hummm ... I'm thinking about your question about if anyone has been spared major or minor injury in this story. Hummm ... Gimli was rather thoroughly tortured in "Snowball Fight" and I'm leery of subjecting the hot-tempered Dwarf to too much... Hummm - BILL! Oh, yes, Bill... (rubs hands) Seriously, thank you for letting me know how much you are enjoying the story. I appreciate that you took the time for such a detailed review, and be assured - more is coming! | |

| *Watches Pippin swept away* Eeeeeeeek! Okay, it's now official: You Are Evil. I'm going to be crouched over this story holding my breath until Pippin pops up...please update ASAP, before I need CPR... Author Reply: Citrine, don't hold your breath! We don't find out what has happened to our poor Pippin until chapter 26. (Remember, my beta-reader, the infamous Marigold, made me write this plotline. I couldn't bear to do it.) I am taking a CPR class Sept 24, so if you do have a heart attack, I'll be ready to help. | |
