| Ah, here are two Hobbits who happened to be in the right place at the right time! What a great idea to have a Shire Stonehenge - I bet it's much nicer than the real one, which just sits on a field between two main roads. And yeah, I'm sure Hobbit stomachs are excellent at timekeeping! Author Reply: Well, this one is far from the beaten track, clearly, LOL! With meals essentially every couple of hours, I think most hobbit stomachs would keep good time-- but tweens, who are growing like crazy, their stomachs would work even better! | |

| This was a very satisfying Frodo-and-Bilbo tale, with Eärendil as the perfect finale. (And I say that despite my initial Oh, good grief, she's transplanted Stonehenge to the Shire annoyance.) I think you have already alluded to Ferumbold Took writing about the Bullroarer (or perhaps it was a Brandybuck ... or perhaps it was some other hobbit writing about something else ... or someone else's story ... or I am just confused). Much as I hate to suggest any subject other than the usual hobbits, I wonder if perhaps your subconscious is hinting you should write about the Bullroarer too! I wonder what the elves know of these Stones? Author Reply: LOL! I wouldn't have done so if JRRT had not hinted that something very like Stonehenge already existed in Middle-earth, with the use of the phrase in Bilbo's song, and the reference to standing stones near the Barrow-downs. So he kind of led the way on that one. *nods* My first reference to Ferumbold's book was in "Consequences of a Fall"; and I may have alluded to it elsewhere as well. You have a sharp memory! And I have done a couple of things about the Bullroarer: a fluffy frame story by that name in my "Twice Twenty" anthology, and a drabble that I did for one of the B2mem challenges a couple of years ago. But yeah, Bandobras is in the bunny queue. Perhaps Bilbo asks them when he is in Rivendell... | |

| Cheers for a hundred chapters! You sent my imagination spinning with this one. If the hole was consciously placed so the light from Earendil's star would shine through it, the stones must at least be younger than the War of Wrath. If it was built by Men, it must have been before the Shire was gifted to the hobbits. Maybe the people whose kings lie buried in the Barrow-downs built the circle? Or, maybe they came over the circles and felt that the place had been sacred for the older peoples, and placed their tombs there. Author Reply: Yes, I'm guessing some time between Earendil's coming and the time of the Dunadain--and likely closer to the time of Earendil's first rising is what I imagine. | |
