Secrets and Surprises  by Grey Wonderer 2 Review(s)

I vow, my friend, that your prologues are themselves works of art that ought to be treasured right alongside the stories they precede! Love this one, and NO, I don't wish to take credit for any of your mistakes, having tons of my own to try to palm off on everyone else! Heh!

Author Reply: Thank you most kindly. The prologues are just me playing around with the disclaimers. I got so bored with typing the same old disclaimer that I just had to do something to amuse myself.

And so far, not a single person has stepped forward to claim any of the mistakes in this fiction. Maybe the mistakes just aren't interesting enough. I'll have to work on that. : )

Cheers to drinking! We should meet sometime to drink to the hobbits' birthdays ;)
Did Tolkien ever put down Merry and Pippin's bdays too? ;)

Author Reply: Yes, we should meet up and drink while celebrating hobbits and all Tolkien things. It would be lovely.

Sadly, Merry and Pippin's birthdays are not listed but Pippin's would appear to be near to the end of the War of the Ring because he tells Bergil that he is 'nearly twenty-nine' when he meets him in Minas Tirith so his birthday must have been close to then, but that's all I can find about it anywhere and I have never seen anything listed for Merry except the year. I always find myself wishing for more details about Merry and Pippin. That's why I'm glad there is fanfiction. If we can't know for certain, we can, at least, enjoying speculating.
