| Oh, my…at least this one had me weeping with laughter for a change ;-) Author Reply: Am so glad it gave you a good, heartening chuckle or two. Heh! Thank you so! | |

| This was a hoot. Thanks Author Reply: Am glad it gave you a giggle or two. It was fun to write as well, particularly considering the sometimes angsty vignettes that went into the rest of the collection. | |

| Congratulations! I wondered at the beginning how on earth you'd manage to do it, and when you got to about day 15 was thinking "and how can you possibly get another story-line with a wharf in it?!" But you managed it anyway. Hope you had a good Christmas and a happy new year. Author Reply: I am honored you followed this! It took ingenuity at times--and some playing with names and titles as well--to get all the words into each story up to the last one! But it was well worth it, I think. Thank you--Christmas was better than last year's, and hopefully the new year will allow several situations to be resolved. And may 2009 bring peace and prosperity to you and yours as well. | |

| I'm glad the wander returned.A shame about his brother. Author Reply: Yes, Isengar returned, but not Hildifons. I'm tempted to explore where he went, but have TOO MANY stories going now! Heh! Thanks, Linda. | |

| A very moving scene. Author Reply: Thank you. I'd think that Pippin would be in a unique position to appreciate Gerontius, don't you agree? | |

| It is lovely to see Frodo having fun. Author Reply: Oh, I so agree! And he had to have something to do while waiting for the all clear and the signal for them to head out for Mordor! Thanks, Linda! | |

| Poor frodo,what a nightmare! I loved the doormouse!Well done completing these tough prompts! Author Reply: Thank you so very much, Linda! It was an interesting experience, and I'm not sure I'd do it again! And am so glad you like the doormouse. My favorite image in all of Alice in Wonderland is them singing "Twinkle, twinkle little bat" and the sleepy doormouse going on and on, "Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle...." Heh! | |

| HAHA! I love the way that got crazier and crazier! The only character I couldn't identify was the orangutang who used to be a magician. Who/what was that? Author Reply: Am so glad you enjoyed it! The orangutan is the Librarian from Terry Pratchett's Unseen University in the Diskworld. But then I have rather a soft spot for the Diskworld and its denizens! Heh! Glad you enjoyed it. | |

| It seems that Antane has become inspired by this delightfully silly fic of yours. It didn't seem fair to only post the review below only to that other fic, though... :-) I spent some time amusing myself with what sort of references I would put in, if I had the sort of mind that is capable of writing fiction. I _love_ reading, and I _am_ imaginative - if you had a peek in my wardrobe you would know _that_ (My latest creation is a winter coat deeply inspired by 18-century justaucorps. What use is making a garment if you can’t wear it every day?), or the last year’s birthday- or Christmas presents for the family (quilts!!) (reminds me I must mention my current UFO [UnFinished Object] in some post to Fiondil). But when it comes to words I have all the imagination of a block of stone. *turns bright green with envy* I know, Master Ruvemir might be able to turn that humble block of stone into some delightful flight of fancy. _I_ would probably just sit there, though maybe one of his apprentices might be able to embellish me with an appropriate pattern (not _all_ that simple a pattern, though. Maybe something inspired by the woodwork decorations on the old Norse Stave Churches…) My current list is: A white, blue-eyed horse; an enormous tree around which a large house is built (who might drop a tasty nut on Frodo’s head); a big, black-clad guy with a glowing, humming, sword-like thingy; a tall, pale, black-haired guy who looks a bit like Námo after the Ninny-incident with a smaller Goth girl; Two big guys with fox-like ears (particularly amusing, that, since the Hradani are the Bahzellverse equivalent of Orcs…); a six-legged feline with a frisbee and a low sense of humour; a Hobbit-sized Man in a General’s uniform in white and grey; a tall, dark-skinned, golden-eyed man with a golden mark on his right hand; a Pernese Dragon; a small, black cat greeting me in the Speech; Spock; Wizard Derk, putting spells on his mansion to make it look like a proper Dread Lord’s Citadel; a tall, grey-clad, grim looking guy with only one eye; a black-clad guy with a staff that looks like curdled light; a tall, pale-skinned, ruby-eyed woman with glittery black hair streaked with white; a green-eyed, bespectacled ex-nerd with a busty, blond Valkyrie… … and that is about as far as I am able to make it before my brain implodes and I drift off to Dreamland… Those are various characters (or, in the case of the Tree, _whatever_) that have tended to stick with me. Definitely favorites, of one kind or another. (If someone can’t figure out what I am referring to, email me at ghnordhagen (at) hotmail (dot) com, and I will send references (and more)) Author Reply: Thanks so! And Ruvemir and his apprentices ought to have a good deal of fun with such a block of stone, I'm thinking. I have a story dealing with Ruvemir in the works, but I can't get it to resolve itself, so every once in a while I get it out, look at it, and it looks back at me until I put it back again! I think I recognize Roland, Darth Vader, Spock, Derk--I LOVE that one!, Odin? The one with the mark on his right hand I recognize, but can't remember his name--and the book is on the bottom shelf of the fantasy bookcase, behind a stack of books from the other room that can't go back into their cases until the floor is finished and the bookcase replased! Anyway, I, also need to get to sleep. It was a LONG, difficult day, believe me, and my back hurts from a fall I experienced when my client fell and this time took me with her!
