The Breaking Point  by shirebound 10 Review(s)
PSWReviewed Chapter: 3 on 11/21/2015
Ha! Great first story! :-) Yes, the way they all looked after Frodo, he was probably the only one who could set them straight and get away with it...

Thanks for writing!

Author Reply: What fun it was to write a piece of fanfic! I had never even heard of it before "The Fellowship of the Ring" came out.

So--at the moment, at least, Gimli won't apologize? Hopefully that will come; but at least the truce has been called, which is enough.

And Pippin get's his needed appreciation as well as a reminder to let others think and sleep! Nice.

Author Reply: Yes, I think that early in the journey, a truce was all we could hope for!

Omigosh, I remember how exciting it was to post this very first story. I thought I'd be lynched if sweet Frodo threw a temper tantrum, but it sure was fun to write. :)

Wow! Yes, I can surely imagine peaceable Frodo getting annoyed with Gimli and Legolas' bickering all the time. I can't stand such behaviour myself, and I live with it every day from three siblings! :-) Great first fanfic! And yes, I do remember mine, and who was the first to give a most welcome opinion. :-) God bless,
Galadriel

Very cute story. I've enjoyed all the stories I've read by you, and am delighted to find more that I didn't know existed! So nice to see a light touch for a change.

cheers

Author Reply: Thank you so much! This was my very first story, and it's such a joy to know that folks are still "discovering" it.

I really like this! Someone somewhere should write a really long masterpiece story about the friendship between Legolas and Gimli.

About first fanfics: I try not to remember mine.

Author Reply: Thank you! That "long masterpiece story" probably exists somewhere... or else someone *should* definitely write it! I explored their unlikely friendship a bit in "Leaving Lorien", "Avalanche", and "Whispers of the Dragon", but I'm better with hobbity stories, I'm afraid.

This was cute! How can you insinuate that this story was less than excellent? I enjoyed it imensely. On to other 'books'...

That was very, very cute. Your characterization is excellent, and I really enjoyed this story.

Author Reply: Thanks, technetium! I'm so happy folks are still enjoying this story, which was my very first.

I do indeed remember my first story. The only thing that enabled me to post it was the thought that there was quite a lot of - how shall I put it? - weak fiction on ff.net. My story was at least as good as whatever those deluded but brave authors were posting.

Now this, this is a fine first story. It's amusing and engaging and well written. How lucky for the rest of us that you kept at it!

Author Reply: What a lovely thing to say! Thank you so much.

Awww...sweet Pippin. I love your Legolas and Gimli too. Wonderful story as always, Shire.

Author Reply: Thank you! It's such fun to re-live this first story, and remember how excited I was to be writing it.

That was lovely. Legolas and Gimli were both brilliant in the last chapter, so in character. And as usual I loved Aragorn and Frodo's interaction. Perfect.

Author Reply: I never thought anything about my first story would be called 'brilliant' -- you're so sweet!
