| It's good to see Old Ferdi and his brother, before the troubles come. But, have I read this somewhere before? This chapter sounds very familiar... Author Reply: This was published a couple of months ago and then left on the back burner while life got incredibly busy and the Muse went to Hawaii for a prolonged stay. You might have read it then. Nice to see you! | |

| Oh, Lindelea, I am so looking forward to reading more of this! I think your writing is excellent, and your characterization is wonderful. Do keep it up! So, they have ponies from Rohan, do they? Good! Author Reply: I suspect that the southern plain is Rohan, yes. Thanks for the encouragement! | |

| I see a bit of the "grumbliest hobbit in the Great Smials" in the pre-fire Ferdinand, but mostly he resembles a far more mobile version of the one from "StarFire" and the latter part of "Flames". I'm looking forward to Rosemary's perspective - figured you'd tortured Ferdi enough and had to move on to his sister, eh ;)? I've been curious what Rosemary was was doing after "Pearl," but figured she was saving money and preparing the kind of household goods a girl would bring to her marriage. Thank you for a glimpse of "Old" Ferdi; he seems like the best kind of uncle to have. Author Reply: They have a "best kind of uncle" and a fussy grandmother. Ah, well, you win some, you lose some. Thanks for commenting, and sorry about the long time between updates. Hope your computer is feeling better. | |

| This story looks to be very promising. I quite like Rosemary, and have been curious as to what she was up to between "Pearl of Great Price" and "Flames". Also, I don't think I've ever seen Ferdi's family pre-fire. I can already tell they're very different from how I'm used to seeing them. Eager to see them developed. Will we be seeing much of Pippin et al. in this one? I seem to remember something about Paladin and Ferdinand being great friends before the fire. Which reminds me, Ferdinand and Paladin hardly speak to each other at all in later stories, as far as I know. What happens to their friendship? Will this story or "Thain" deal with that? Keep up the excellent work! Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing! You can catch a glimpse of Ferdi's family pre-fire in "Cousins and Other Nuisances" here on SoA. Ferdi's uncle isn't in that story, though. This is the first time, I think, that people have been able to catch more than a glimpse of "old" Ferdi. | |
