| I really liked this story. You did a very good job on Frodo. Thank you for the Hobbit age system, I was a little worried about Frodo being fifty when his adventure started. | |

| A month and a half IS a long time I'm waiting as impatiently as dear Frodo. The sight of the little one rolled up in a small ball, seemingly forgotten, was difficult to read. | |

| Somehow Bolo doesn't strike me as the type of cousin I'd have room with someone like little Frodo. And he's looking forward to Bilbo's coming? Good! | |

| Yay! I've finished it! My dear, you are an amazing writer. I don't think I've ever seen a more in-character hobbit-centric story (except in the Professor's works). Moreover, your writing style is superb -- I can't wait to find out what happens next! Believe me, there is a reason why I'm leaving this review on your first chapter. I was thrilled to discover that you'd created such an accurate formula for determining hobbit ages, but unfortunately because of the C value, it gets inaccurate for the very young ages (for instance, it doesn't show that a hobbit at 0 years of age would be as advanced as a human of 0 years of age). Ergo, inspired by you, I figured out a new one. It's very similar to yours, actually. You don't need to use it; I just thought you might find it interesting. Y = .0031659882406151*X^2 + .44097693351424*X Anyway, thank you so much for writing such an amazing story. It's definitely one of the best I've ever read, and I look forward to reading more! ~Lily Author Reply: Thank you so much for your comments! And your hobbit age formula. :D I tried it out on my graphing calculator, and you're right, that does make more sense for the very young hobbits. I had a hard time knowing what to do about baby hobbits, because I wanted 0 to be 0, but I also wanted young Samwise to be old enough to talk coherently to Frodo at the beginning of Anchored. So, in general I just try not to write too much about really young hobbits. ;) Maybe I'll use your formula just for them, if it ever comes up. | |

| Obelia!! I finally found a few moments to get started on this. I can tell already it's going to be a darling story! Poor, sweet Frodo! He looses his parents and gets teased by an older, nasty cousin in the bargain...and the poor thing is sick to boot! Well, at least he has his aunt Esme. I'm glad of that. Off to read more! cp Author Reply: Hooray! Welcome! :) | |
