Wherever the Prompt Might Lead  by Larner 9 Review(s)

LOL

It amazes me how many uses you find for these elements; it's brilliant.

Author Reply: It's getting much harder now, though, trying to fit all the words into the ficlets. I've made all these so far into drabbles and a half, limiting them to a hundred fifty words. I don't know how much longer I can keep them this short, however. Some are doing this in full drabbles. When we reach Christmas Eve and have twenty-four words to work in--that would be a killer! And particularly as we must work in forks, monkeys, and cookies now! Crystals and bottles are easy to work in, and I've not had too much difficulty even with locks and holes. But monkeys?

Thanks! And I loved imagining Pippin planning ahead like this. "Oh, what did I do in Harad? Saved Aragorn a few times and lent the crown prince my mail and fought against traitors.... You don't really mind all that, do you, Diamond dearling? Oh, but I brought you this...."

I'm sure Diamond will be too pleased with the gift to scold!

Author Reply: I think she'll be gladdest just to be with her husband again! Thanks so!

But of course a bribe! Smart man - ahem, I mean Hobbit, that Pippin! :-D


Author Reply: Well, of course he's become a good deal wiser about Hobbit nature over the years! Heh!

Thanks so, Sunny!

*snicker* Pippin knows his beloved rather well, doesn't he? How wise of him to bring not only that document, but a pendant as well. Though Diamond shouldn't be angry, after all she agreed to Pippin going to Harad. And I am sure she will like the mushroom dish story ;-)

Author Reply: Oh, yes! Pippin is covering all his bases well.

And I do think that everyone will enjoy the story of introducing mushrooms to the court of Harad! Heh! Thanks for remembering that!

When did Pippen get to be so smart? Not so irrisponsible a Took afetr all!
More please,
Lynda

Author Reply: Oh, he's definitely the doting husband now! No, no longer irresponsible. Thanks so, Lynda.

Ha!Ha! That was funny! Hugs The Imp P.S. Pippin is such a squirrel!

Author Reply: It was fun to let Pippin show how well he knows his wife! Heh! Thanks! Glad this one gave folks a laugh.

LindeleaReviewed Chapter: 11 on 12/11/2008
Thanks for the chuckle!

Author Reply: After yesterday I felt we needed a giggly one. Thanks for letting me know.

I see that Pippin has grown wise in the ways of his lady! :)

Author Reply: Oh, indeed! I'd been thinking of this theme since last night, and the word "crystal" fit in perfectly!

LOL! I loved your Pippin in "Lesser Rings"! What a fun reminder!

(But I can tell, it's getting harder and harder to get in all the words! I'm certainly curious to see if you will be able to keep it up! I am afraid I would have given up before this!)

Author Reply: At least "crystal" was a perfect word for this one, the theme of which was in my mind as early as last night! Heh!

Glad to recall that story again.
