| Lin! Oh dear! Pippin does seem to be in a bit of a pickle doesn't he. Alas! (((hugs))) MM Author Reply: MM! Glad to have you along for the story! You're right, Pippin is in a bit of a pickle. This story will have some angst, but not an overwhelming amount. It's more about determination and resourcefulness than h/c, really. You might be interested to know (and hopefully not overwhelmed to hear) that the story in its current form has three parts. The first features Pippin and Ferdi, while the second centers around Sam and Goldi. Lastly, the third part has Goldi and Farry and serves to tie all three parts together. Hopefully it'll work as well in final form as the draft seems to promise! As to breaking it into three parts: I had the feeling when I started that people might find it easier to read three ten-chapter stories than a longer story of thirty chapters or more. At least, that was the thought process... (I suspect I'm rambling. Thanks for listening.) (((hugs))) Lin | |

| Lin! I stand (or sit, rather :-) ) in awe of the detail by which you write Hobbits. It is truly wonderful! As I have caught up with "Jewels" I shall turn my attention to this! Which story deals with Pippin finally becoming Thain? I would like to read that as well! (((hugs))) MM Author Reply: MM! Thanks so much. I've been sandbagged by life this past week, rather, but things appear to be improving. Just when I was getting some energy back, a close family member had a health issue that took all my time and energy for the better part of last week. After everything was resolved, I had no energy left, so I've been vegging and alternating between watching BBC detective shows and sleeping over the past few days. I finally had enough energy this evening to finish the latest chapter in Bill's story, and I'm very glad to see a new chapter of your Éowyn tale. I'm hoping to read it tomorrow. Looking forward to it! Someone near and dear to me recently introduced me to the Visible device and app, and as a result, I am learning to "pace". Hopefully I'll be able to avoid future crashes with the help of that technological tool. That's the idea, anyhow. Pippin's return to the Great Smials to become Thain is described in FireStorm, a very early story that, like Jewels, is on my list for editing and adjusting to fit with the later stories on my timeline. Later chapters of Flames (told from Ferdi's point of view) include and expand on that story. StarFire also covers Pippin's first year or two as Thain but starts some weeks after his return to Tookland. So just a heads-up, if you read FireStorm, it's got a few discrepancies compared to later stories at this point in time. I hope this note finds you well! (((hugs))) Lin | |
