What a delight to be idly browsing and come across this delightful story! Not only do the characters and their conversations ring true, but just reading it brought back so much joy. Our beloved hobbits certainly didn't enjoy their adventures as much as we did, did they?

Thank you for remembering!

This is so cute and funny! And it makes a good point about writing a story! Although now I want to hear Pippin's terrible romantic poetry and Sam's stories about Bill!

I think I've read most of these myself! Heh! And as one who bites my own nails, I've had to make Frodo biting his as Elijah Wood does part of my-verse!

Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

Author Reply: Personally, I think that Frodo has such a strong sense of personal self control that I couldn't see him getting into bad habits like that, but it just wouldn't do to write a hodgepodge of fanfic without including the one that the largest number of people are familiar with. So glad you enjoyed the fic!

Oh, dear--we do have some who want more stuff in there! Heh! And love all the references I myself recall reading, from "The Care and Feeding of Hobbits" to Indigo Blue's wonderful story and so on! Heh! Ah, yes--all of the Yule tales we've all written....

Poor Frodo!

Author Reply: I'm sure Pippin will be pleased with the fact that so many fanauthors agree with him!

I laughed out loud the first time I read this. Now I shall have wonderful hours rereading the referenced fix! Thank you and brilliantly done.

Author Reply: Dreamflower did most of the heavy lifting for this, but thank you!

"...all those genealogy lessons we gave Boromir..." Oh! Oh, I did one of those! *grins* For B2MEM 2011 at GFIC, remember? =)

I recognized "One Hundred Apple Pies", but quite a lot of these were new ones to me. I shall have to check them out!!

Author Reply: However, to be fair, Dreamflower and I wrote this before B2MEM 2011. But it does seem to be a popular one, and understandably so!

I hope you have fun checking out the stories!

Very funny! New Beta-readers who hadn't BEEN there might be a good idea! Though some of those omissions sound pretty interesting... planning to write them?

Author Reply: Perhaps we would, if other authors hadn't beaten us to it! Right now we're putting together a list of all of the fics we referenced, with links, so if you're interested, you can check them out in a little bit!

//people would be forced to conclude we couldn’t--I couldn’t--take three steps without falling into some fresh and deadly peril//

A pretty accurate summary of fanfiction, I would say. ;-) Thank you, this made me chuckle.

Author Reply: And that is precisely why I have trouble writing gapfillers...

Thanks for reading!

While I recognise quite a few of these I am a little curious as to the authors of some of them, so a listing of titles and authors would be helpfull, as one of your other reviewers has mentioned.

I found my way to S.O.A and Findils epic E.I 1 and 2 from a rec on f.f.net!

Huggs,

So much to giggle about here--I don't know which amused me more, what the characters might think about all we fanfic writers have put them through, or the idea that too many betas spoil the sauce. I suppose too this is a good reminder to look at each fanfic as though no other fanfics have ever been written!

*humming 'One hundred apple pies on the sill, one hundred apple pies....take one down, gobble it down, ninety-nine apple pies on the sill....'*

Author Reply: I think that even one beta was too many for Frodo, lol!
