| ^^ I'm returning all those nice reviews you've left for me! You had me rolling from this story, and I have only read the first chapter so far. When I have time, I will be sure to read the rest! Poor Eomer (my computer won't allow me to do special characters)! I wonder if something like this ever did happen in those times? Oo;; The Rohirrim must encounter skunks now and again. ^^ Author Reply: You know, this story had a lot of thought connected with it. Who would be the one to "get it"? At first, it was Mirkwood story and Thranduil was to be the lucky one. But, as I've said before, I'm no good with Elves; Coriel, who is good with Elves, didn't want to help me. Then I decided on Rohan. Would it be Grima? Eowyn? Eomer? Theoden? Elfwine? Finally I decided against Eowyn and pulled Eomer into one of the biggest messes of his life. (Would it be correct Rohirric grammar to say the biggest 'pickle' of his life?) :) Thanks for the review. | |

| I enjoy the thought of all of the soldiers going door-to-door for tomatoes! This is very funny! You can never find good tomatoes when you need them! Author Reply: This story just wrote itself. :) I had no clue how he was going to get tomatoes! And so I just had his men wander around. But of course they couldn't find any, or the story would have been ruined! :) I had to ask my mom what color a tomato turns when it gets old and she offered to let me keep one in my room until I found out, but I politely declined her generous offer. :) I decided a grey tomato would be better than a black one. You know, not as absolutely disgusting. I wonder how the tomato smelled. Any better than Eomer? :) | |

| LOL! A skunk getting Eomer! This is a treat, since there are so few humerous, but still fairly canonical, stories taking place in Rohan. I find the place and its people rather captivating, since they are one group in Tolkien's ME that seem very real but still very far away. The bit inside the Golden Hall was hilarious (and I thought the characters were very well written), as well as the tomato hunt (that one shriveled tomato---poor Eomer! What time of year is it?). I'm going to check out the other chapter now... --Aranel Author Reply: The idea was too tempting and I just had to write this story. Coriel refuses to have anything to do with it. She usually reads over my stuff and gives me pointers, but she wanted no part of this one, so it's all my own for once. :) I agree about Rohan. So few people know anything about it, and so they just write it off as unintersting. I love Rohan and her people and I like Eomer even more than I like Legolas, really. I love horses and I find Men easier to work with, therefore, Rohan is perfect, if they would just learn how to write. This takes place *right* before LOTR, but I don't know what time of year it is, really. I just didn't think that tomatoes were really native to Rohan, it would work better if he didn't get any and importing them from the Shire isn't conducive to ripe products. :) | |

| How deliriously funny! And original, too, by my reckoning. Think we should tell Eomer that tomatoes are not native to Middle Earth? You know, just to brighen his day a little more? Author Reply: As the people making the movie put it, we're dealing with Balrogs, Cave Trolls, Orcs, Dark Lords, who's going to care about a little tomato? And I'm sure that's just what he's dying to hear! Glad you liked it. :) | |
