Oh, how sweet! Prim probably acted a little too young for how old you had her (but, on saying that, I'm no expert of hobbit child psychology!). Merry played the protective elder brother perfectly well. Suggestions for other chapters? Perhaps one where Goldilocks tries to be recognised as her own person rather than just Elanor's clone (I don't actually believe that this was the case, but it would make for an interesting little plot!)

Author Reply: I know Prim (and all the children) might seem that way, but it is based on something I read. A really good author (whom I cannot remember) wrote a comment about their own writing saying that when they write hobbits, as far as their age goes, they take the age and cut it in half. That's how they them write the hobbit's level of maturity. For older hobbits they do something a bit different which I cannot quite remember. It seemed to make sense to me and fit well also with hobbits' lifestyle and so forth, so I've been using the method also. Sorry if it seems kind of confusing.
I'm glad you liked Merry. I've always wanted a 'protective elder brother' so I wrote him on a whim for myself ^_^
I like your idea for Goldilocks! I'm not sure when I'll be posting again since school started back up so who knows when this whole thing will be finished.
Thanks for your reviews!

These are such clever little stories. I'm assuming that there will be 13 in all! I really liked your version of Frodo in this - the comparison between him and the former Frodo were wonderful. First chapter was also very good. I loved the competitions between Meriadoc and Peregrin over which of their name-sakes was "better". Looking forward to reading the rest of these. The Gamgees make such good story starters, don't they? :P

Author Reply: Yes, there will (eventually) be 13. The Gamgees are great to write about, aren't they? ^_^ I'm glad you liked my version of Frodo-lad, I was worried about that. Thanks for reading!

That was sweet! I like how you explained the running bet between Merry Brandybuck and Pippin Took about their namesakes! That seems like something they would do! Thank you for sharing!
