| Lindelea! Happy Belated Birthday! You have a wonderful talent for writing about Hobbits and their ways. I feel as if I am snuggling down in front of the fire in Bag End readying myself for a story with a mug of tea in my hand and a berry seedcake at the table nearest me. You paint lovely relationships, the caring between Eglantine and Paladin. Bilbo and the children. Wonderful! Stay well! ((hugs)) MM Author Reply: MM, so good to hear from you! Thank you for the birthday wishes. Also, I'm glad to see you reposting your stories, for they are high on my want-to-read list. I had planned to spend most if not all of my birthday reading fanfic, fortified with a series of cups of tea and a slice or three of teacake along the way. As it turned out, I had the tea and cake, as planned, but have had to postpone the reading. I appreciate hearing your impressions. For me, the writing process (and the thinking process that comes before) quite often feels like taking tea with hobbits, just like the word picture you drew here. The Shire has provided a wonderful refuge over the decades, and lately so many more stories and pictures have started bubbling to the surface... (I hope other authors are experiencing the same phenomenon, for I will probably never tire of reading tales set in Middle-earth...) (((hugs))) I hope this note finds you and yours well, and I look forward to getting through your shieldmaiden story all the way to meeting Faramir and getting past the fear and grief to the joy that follows. Will the story explore the development of Éowyn and Faramir's relationship? Did you portray their wedding in another story? I remember reading about their visit to the Shire, I think, but I need to go back and re-read that story. Have you imagined their life in Ithilien? Beg pardon if that's too many questions. I'm so eager to read more about JRRT's wonderful world and characters, I can be thoughtlessly pushy sometimes. And now I really am going to settle down to reading some fanfic, bolstered by a freshly brewed cup of tea. Peppermint, though, as I seem to have had too much caffeine today. | |
