So funny about the stitches and the rope ... I never would have thought of that! :-)

Good story, a lot of interesting speculation and of course hobbit fluff (and Elf fluff too)... Thanks for writing, I enjoyed it!

Author Reply: Thank you so much! I wanted to give everyone in the story a chance to shine, even usually-neglected Celeborn.

Poor Merry ... :-( Seems like he's the one they can't get figured out, hopefully that will change once they get everyone back home and tended to.

Of course Sam is gone. Did they really think he was just going to wait while the rest of them sat there *talking*?? :-P Not when Frodo is in danger ...

Hmm ... very interesting. I'll be curious to see how this progresses.

I like how its coming along! Oh yeah I have been meaning to ask you, I am looking for suggestions for my first story based on Elladan and Elrohir,and I'd really appreciate it if you could help to spread the word! I'd also like to offer a topic for one of your stories, what if it were possible for elves to get sick,or there was a toxin that could make them fall victim to illness?Please reply!! Thanks!!

Author Reply: Thanks, Silvertree! I think I only wrote about Elladan and Elrohir in this story, and "By Chance or Purpose". You might want to contact the moderator of this site, Nilmandra, who's truly the "elf expert"! She might have some ideas for you about the twins. (And thank you for the story idea. You never know where they might lead!)

ahhh you've done it again--darker than usual, yes, but that's fine! There were still some lovely spots of light shining through it. Could hardly "put this one down"--except it seemed none of my friends would let me read it in peace, LOL...so it took me two days to get through it!

More, more, more! your fans are greedy *ggggggg*

best regards,
Armariel

Author Reply: Eeek, I'd better write faster. I can't having you running out! I'm so happy you're enjoying all these stories!

*hugs you for being so wonderfully greedy and sweet*

It’s hard for Pip to stay still for long, but he’s nobody’s fool. - shirebound

Thank you, shirebound!! That's Pippin in a nutshell. What a wonderful end to a fantastic story! You know me--Janie-come-lately, but it was well worth the wait. Thank you for sharing your imagination! :-)

Author Reply: Oh, I love how you quoted that line! And thank you for enjoying this story so much. I had no idea I would be able to squeeze so much hobbityness into what threatened to be a somewhat dark tale. Hobbits... gotta love 'em!

:)

A perfect ending to a lovely story!:) The one part I REALLY liked in this chapter was when Elrond is telling Frodo that he will send him a message when he is leaving for the Havens. That one sentance... "It will not be a message of parchment, but from mind to mind." was so perfect! It brought everything back together, and made so much sense!:) I mean, how DID Frodo know the exact time to meet the elves in the forest with Sam?;) Thank you again for sharing your story with us. I have really enjoyed it, and I hope you will be inspired to write something else soon!;)
Namarië,

Author Reply: I agree, how DID Frodo know?? It's fun to explain things (knowing that other authors will explain them quite differently!) -- it gives me the feeling of making a contribution to Prof. Tolkien's story, which is very humbling and exciting.

Thank you for your lovely words. What a joy to share these stories.

Thank you for writing this story. I truly enjoyed reading it!

Author Reply: I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.

Arwen BagginsReviewed Chapter: 11 on 6/6/2004
I must admit I wasn't ready for ths story to end QUITE yet, but still it is a hobbity ending, which is always good. You have answered so many questions for me. THANK YOU! I have always wondered why Frodo was able to speak to Galadriel in her head, but I haven't read much of the Silmarillion and I have ALWAYS wondered why Elrond never voluteered to take the Ring, especially after I realized that he had a Ring of Power himself.

But now the brilliant Shirebound has answered my questions, I don't even want to consider how long it took you to figure it all out. You obviously have too much time on your hands, which gives me that much more. *Hugs you, sqeezes you - TIGHTLY.* Shirebound suffocating: "Um, Arwen, that's enough. NEEED - TO - BREATHE!!!!" Okay, lets go, you get the idea. Thanks again!

You are going to take the suggestion that Gayalondiel and I had, right? The one about when Gandalf was a patient for Galadriel and Celeborn. Tell you what, when you start your non-Hobbit story, then I'll start mine: The Blessing of Mortality. I know you'll finish first, but we can still start out on the same note.

Author Reply: Thanks, Arwen! It was fun and very interesting trying to "fill in the blanks" and answer some questions that Prof. Tolkien left for us. Different fanfic authors will answer them in different ways, of course.

I can't promise that the Gandalf-Celeborn muse will seek me out, but one never knows what future stories will demand to be told...

:)
