I didn't expect that at all. The mental image literally changed shape at the end. On a different note: Three of your stories aren't working. I can click the title, but get an error message, and there aren't any chapters listed for them. What went wrong? :( Author Reply: Thank you for the review! I'm glad the 'misdirection' worked on this little tale. :) Thanks for letting me know about the 'missing chapters'. I uploaded three short story drafts to the site, but haven't 'published' them yet. I didn't know that they would show up on my public stories list! "In a Dusty Corner", "In the Company of Hobbits", and "The Lineage" are still works in progress, but I plan to finish and publish one of them this weekend as a birthday mathon. | |

You surprised me big time! That was great and I had no idea until the last. Such excellent writing and you didn't give anything away. : ) Author Reply: Thanks so much! I'm so glad this worked. | |

Wow! That was an unexpected twist, but a very clever one. I like it very much that Faramir Took has a brother named Boromir. So history repeats itself (with a little help from Pippin and Diamond)! Author Reply: Thank you! Once I started musing over the idea that Pippin might name both his sons after the Stewards, it was fun to write a little teaser. :) | |

Oh, my! Amazing job... you got me started on one track and suddenly I was on another. Masterfully done. As long as you and your brother stand true... A good promise to remember. Author Reply: Thank you so much! *beams* I love imagining the Shire safe in the hands and hearts of those who love it best. | |

Dang it, that was supposed to say that I'd gobble them up like a hobbit eating second breakfast. How I missed that vital word, I have no idea. Author Reply: Hobbits are indeed vital! *grins* | |

You are a sneaky, clever hobbit. Until I saw the word "tweens" I was sure this was about the sons of Denethor. So, there is a Boromir in the Took family too, and he listens to his brother's dreams a lot like his namesake. You must write more about these two. Those are stories I'd gobble up like a eating second breakfast. :) Author Reply: Thanks so much. I loves being sneaky, and am really glad you liked this. If I get an idea to write more about the young Tooks, I'll certainly pounce on it. :) | |

Oh, how wonderful the twist on this one! So, Diamond and Peregrin named their second son for Boromir? Delightful! And Faramir apparently dreamed of the King! Author Reply: Thank you so much. I got to thinking that Pippin might have honored Boromir by naming a second (or even a first) son after him. | |

Whoa, that was a twist to what I was expecting. How sweet that now only was there a Faramir Took but a Boromir too! The Steward would be pleased to know that. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Thanks, Antane. This was fun to write. :) | |
