“We must find him,” Gandalf said tensely. “He will not last long in his condition. And there are other dangers out there than exposure. He could fall down a flight of stairs, or off a balustrade, or what if the rumours we heard are true—“

- then what? What??? Ohhh, the suspense! And now I have to leave for a massage - dang it! Can't wait to come back!

Oh darn. I'm falling asleep at the computer (should have been in bed hours ago), but I couldn't stope and now I have the writing bug. I'll continue this story tomorrow...*yawn* if I wake tomorrow and don't sleep till dinner. Namarie and hannon le for this story!
GOd Bless,
Frodo Baggins

Oh, no! He's in the hands of the cliff hanger mistress! ;)

Author Reply: I can just see the expression of terror on our poor sweet hobbit's face. He'd much rather be anywhere else, with a definite preference for over the Sea... (I like to think of Frodo being in the process of earning all the good things that come to him later, you see.)

I love Frodo h/c... =)
And i love the humor you put in this as welL! =)
“Infuriating,” Aragorn said briefly. “It is a battle to treat his wounds and a war to make him take his medicine. I encountered less opposition at Pelannor Fields.
lol! I so really enjoyed that line from Aragorn--Characteristic of him and also characteristic fro Frodo to not want anyone to worry and hard to get things out of him.
Everyone is so loving fro Frodo that it's really great to read the last part about all of them discussing Frodo.
I especially loved this Sam line:
“Begging your pardon, sirs,” Sam broke in, “but you oughtn’t be talking about forcing Mr. Frodo to do anything. He’ll talk or he’ll not, as he feels like it. I’m hoping he’ll talk to Mr. Bilbo when we get back to Rivendell,” he added in a softer voice.

and Pippin care! ...love these little details. :)
Sam broke off suddenly and turned away from them, tears glittering in his brown eyes. Wordlessly, Pippin wrapped his arms around his friend and hugged him.
awww Sam! ::goes to huggle him too:

and the line about Sam thinking that grass is good for Frodo and to let him go out again--i really liked that too. :)

::goes on to read more:: =)

Author Reply: I would love to take a poll, Periantari, and see how writers shape their stories. I always say I see it happening before me - I am just recording what I see. It is especially satisfying when readers tell me they see it, too. Of course, we know our hobbits and the entire Fellowship so well, we know how they think and act and speak ... and love stories that give us the opportunity to stick a toe into their world...

That was a highly unexpected turn of events.

Author Reply: To which I reply ... good! When things get too predictable (beyond the burning things down and blowing them up, I mean), it is time to take a break!

Bless stubborn hobbits! Poor Frodo. Sick and seeking to hide, and probably both fearful of dying and hoping he will at the same time.

Author Reply: probably both fearful of dying and hoping he will at the same time - brilliant observation, Larner. That threw me, and I read it several times. How very keenly you have sliced to the heart of Frodo's misery.
