| Ah, an AU! How very clever it is, too...I wonder where things might be taken from here? Most interesting, this...*ponders* Kaylee Author Reply: It is an interesting idea for an AU, and I'd had the bunny for a while, though it never went past this part-- making it a perfect vignette for this challenge. I've always thought that it would have made no difference to Merry and Pippin if they had not been picked-- they simply would have carried on, on their own if they had to. You are welcome to take it from here if you like! | |

| Actually, when you think about it, you now have Nine Walkers, four Halflings equal two men, right?! Lynda Author Reply: You have a point. I can see Merry trying to explain that logic when they catch up! LOL! | |

| I love this Dreamflower. I just hope that whoever is on watch doesn't greet them with an arrow. Author Reply: I hope not, either. I figure they will make sure that it's not an archer! Merry is definitely clever enough to figure *that* out, LOL! | |

| Did it occur to you, when you disregarded Gandalf's advice to trust to friendship, that your refusal to let them go might also endanger Frodo? Exactly! Well spoken, Bilbo! I liked this very much and I admire Merry's cleverness. Author Reply: It's an AU I've toyed with for a long time-- from reading that chapter, I get the impression it was a very close thing with Elrond's decision. He could easily have decided to go with his own feelings on the matter instead of Gandalf's... | |

| Love it! How right they are to defy Elrond. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Of course defiance was the theme here! I am very glad that in canon, Elrond was wise enough to listen to Gandalf! | |

| They'll throw the numbers off! *grins* What a small price to pay for such determined companions. I just love this. The supplies Bilbo allowed us to pilfer from him are about to run out LOL! Dear Bilbo. Author Reply: *grin* I think Bilbo felt that they should have been allowed to go, so he'd certainly help them out if he could, LOL! And that Brandybuck and Took are indeed quite determined! | |

| Interesting idea (and one I've never seen before). It could be a whole series. But I have to ask -- who are the others (both elves, I guess) who went in place of Merry and Pippin? And they didn't mention Boromir: is he still in the Fellowship? Did he ever reach Rivendell? How AU is this? Author Reply: I don't know if I will continue it. But it could be fun, perhaps in several vignettes. Boromir's there. I don't think in this AU that Merry and Pip know him well enough to guess his reaction. As for the other Elves, my notion is that it would either have been Elladan and Elrohir, or Glorfindal and one other of Elrond's people. In my AUs, I usually change as little as possible initially -- usually only one or two small things. Then I see how far the ripples spread. | |
