| Aha--we KNEW he was a Hobbit with Elven tendencies, even if they come with spoken reports rather than song! Heh! So, she got his old room, did she? Perfect! No wonder the connection between them! And am glad these two denizens of Brandy Hall are able to keep some track of what's going on back home! Heh! Thank you so! Author Reply: I thought that was a nice twist on the regular singing, since Frodo seemed to do such a good job with his history. And I thought the idea of the shared room was a nice parallel to put in place. This is the only way (aside from a stodgy author's note) I could think of to let readers know of the connection. I did mention in my first little Sandbox piece that somehow Frodo knew what exactly happened to the book. Thought I might as well explain how that started here. | |

| Awwww; a glimpse of Kira, isn't it? Nice dialogue between Frodo and Merry; good to see they're keeping an eye on things 'down below'. Author Reply: Yes, it is! I thought these two hobbits in particular would feel a responsibility for events in the Shire after their passing. | |

| *grin* The perfect ending to this little set of delightful ficlets! I love Frodo's fascination with his little "talent" and Merry's interest in it. And how hobbity of them to spot the family resemblances at once! Love to see more of this one! Maybe as little interludes or sidebars to a certain longer story? Author Reply: I have a few more Sandbox pieces drummed up (honestly they started out because I wanted to write about Kira and Frodo interacting but couldn't do it till both of them were dead) but they're sitting on the back burner because there are spoilers in them. Frodo does not recognize the family resemblance immediately with Kira, because she's so far removed and I've deliberately said a number of times that she does not look particularly like her greatsire (no "you look just like your dad except for your eyes" here!). But Merry ought to know his descendants a little better. I, too, love the idea that Frodo would take a certain scholarly wonder in the development of his gifts! Thanks! | |

| I enjoyed every single one of these... especially Sam's talk with the King, and Frodo finally understanding the importance of at least one of those names that start with "F". What a lovely series of stories. Author Reply: Thank you so much, Shirebound! I'm glad you enjoyed them. | |
