The Least of Rings  by Dreamflower 2 Review(s)
AntaneReviewed Chapter: 8 on 6/7/2013
I'm really enjoying this though I do feel bad for the hobbits at the end here. A lot of it is the same as it was on the orginial Quest but a lot is different too. I hope one of the differences will be that Frodo will not suffer so much. We shall see I suppose.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: It's the same but different--and in the end quite different. That's all I can say at this point in time!

Exciting chapter!

I had to chuckle at this: Strider was not willing to stop every couple of hours to eat, either! Such hardship!

(my only sorrow is that in this version, Bill the pony is evidently not emancipated from Bill Ferny... I will now proceed to imagine a Ranger having noticed Bill Ferny's treatment of the pony and doing a bit of clever ventriloquism to make it seem as if the pony can talk. If Ferny is planning mischief, and the pony could inform on him...? Frightened and superstitious, Bill sells the pony to Butterbur, where Bill-the-pony lives happily ever after...)

Author Reply: Yes, I toyed with the idea of shoe-horning poor Bill in somehow, but with the 500 word limitation, I'm afraid I had to sacrifice the poor pony.

I like your version! *grin*
