Ah, Maseric--what you have set in motion! I suspect I shall love this.

You shouldn't have Frodo as your enemy, especially not if he allies with Merimac - Master of the Arts of Mischief, was it?

Heheh, very cute! And I would dearly love to know how Maseric gets HIS backside exposed.......maybe a follow-up is in order? teehee!

Author Reply: Don't worry, Frodo will get his revenge - and Merimac will enjoy it just as much as Frodo :)

Thanks for reading.

What a horrible thing to do to poor Frodo...stealing his clothes, and all that about being the Master’s darling.

I almost felt that I should jump into my computer screen to give that Maseric a good beating...lol
But all that would come from that would be a broken computer monitor and my family pointing and laughing at me...so in the end I decided against it. ;)

I love that Merimac came to the rescue, if it had been anyone else...Frodo would surely be picked on more.


I really enjoy this story and am excited to learn what happens next! <3

Author Reply: Merimac might pick on Frodo for a while and tease him about the incident but I think in the end running into Merimac was the best thing that could have happened to Frodo.

Thanks for reading!

May I ask you what that means? And what language is is?

Maseric? Never heard of him before. Is he in the family trees, or an OC?

He achieved what he wanted though, he made Frodo very, very angry. Maybe even too angry ;-)

Merimac to the rescue! I enjoyed that part a great deal! And he wouldn't be Merimac if he didn't take advantage of the situation!

But now Maseric has not only one, but two enemies! Let's see what Mac comes up with! It will be a grand plan, I'm sure!

Author Reply: Maseric's an OC - very much the English Marroc, but I didn't want to take him over into the English stories. It's enough to have one Marroc .... and Maseric isn't quite as bad.


Frodo is very angry - and so is Mac. No one embarrasses his cousin and gets away unharmed.


And he wouldn't be Merimac if he didn't take advantage of the situation!
That's so true! I think that little event made his day :)

Merimac has a rather wicked sense of humor, doesn't he?

Can't wait to see where this goes!

Author Reply: Merimac doesn't only have a very wicked sense of humor. He isn't ashamed of anything - at least I have found nothing in the 14 months I'm now exploring his character. He loves Frodo and is always willing to give advice, but he wouldn't be Merimac if he let a situation like this pass without a teasing comment.

Oh, dear, what has he got himself into now?

I just love the relationship you've developed between Frodo and Merimac.
Can't wait to see where this goes!

Author Reply: I like to see Frodo and Mac together. Frodo, in my stories, is always a little shy and withdrawn and keeps everything private. Merimac is just the right force (due to his directness and openess) to lurk him out of his hole and have him show his fire.

Aww, poor Frodo! I couldn't help but laugh, though, at this line: Had it not been his bare backside that waggled through the darkness he would have thought the situation comical. Hee! And I love how Merimac greets him, and how he deals with Frodo's story about the dragon. I'm looking forward to the next chapter :)


Author Reply: Merimac very much enjoyed Frodo's plight - and I'm sure he will tease him for quite a while.

I'm glad it gave you a laugh.

Grey WondererReviewed Chapter: 1 on 8/19/2007
I do like Merimac's thinking at the end of this one. An in the background helper is exactly what is needed here. I enjoyed this very much.

Author Reply: It is. If Frodo were to strike back alone Maseric would find another way to avenge whatever Frodo will be doing. Besides, it will comfort Frodo a great deal to know that he doesn't have to fight this battle alone.


Thanks a lot!
