The Least of Rings  by Dreamflower 4 Review(s)

So Frodo is still leaving the Shire! Gandalf is still planning to accompany him, and the Conspiracy is still intact, although somewhat less urgent in their intentions. They are to visit Bilbo in Rivendell, I know, but I wonder if Gandalf's intention may also be to give Elrond a chance to weigh in on the problem of the lesser ring. Can't wait to see what Radagast has discovered. If Frodo doesn't have the ruling Ring, does someone else?

Author Reply: Yes. I wanted Frodo and the others to still have a chance at Adventure and heroics, even if not quite so dire as in canon.

If Frodo doesn't have the ruling Ring, does someone else?

*grin* Keep those thoughts in mind...

Oh, this is very interesting! I just found the story and read the available chapters in one sitting. Loved the Hobbitses and their food. ;) *And* Balin's visit.

I'm very curious where you're going with this story.

Author Reply: We are getting underway to the truly AU part of it, so I hope you enjoy the ride.

Fascinating. So Bag End isn't sold, and Frodo hasn't "come to the end of Bilbo's money." Love the letters -- they set the tone very well, and could even be plausible gapfillers in the original story.

(But... it nags at me. If the Ruling Ring isn't being taken care of, is Middle-earth still in danger?)

(BTW, so lovely to see this today. It made for pleasant reading with my elevenses. Have been thinking of you and praying for the safety of you and your loved ones with all the tornadoes in the news lately.)

Author Reply: Exactly.

I had fun with the letters. Of course, as much as I love the Conspiracy, I had to have an AU version of it!

Pay close attention to that last snippet of conversation between Gandalf and Radagast...there are hints.

The tornadoes have been dreadful, though none of them hit us, we had plenty of rain, wind and hail. But luckily the only tornado that headed in our direction never touched down except at a lake just out of town.

What a fun series! I am looking forward to reading more and I am glad that Frodo doesn't have The Ring. Enjoyed these last few chapters that I am now caught up with.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: It's nice to know that Frodo won't have to deal with the One Ring, isn't it?
