| Having read your others and knowing how close Merry is to his uncle, I had to laugh when I read that he didn't want to go. At this point, Frodo is a better parent than Esmeralda isn't he? He knows Merry so well! I only wish Frodo were going with Merry. Author Reply: I'm so glad you noticed that! Irony was the idea of Merry not wanting to go, because, yes, he and Paladin end up very close. Esmeralda is doing the best she can at the moment--with the help of Frodo. Perhaps that's why Merry was so torn when he left...hmmm smelling a plot bunny! Esmeralda is in between the whole mess; she loves her husband, but Merry must come first right now. Her plan is to remove Merry from a destructive situation so she can properly deal with it. Thanks for reviewing! Pippinfan (sorry--didn't sign off on the other one, did I?) | |

| Love Frodo and Merry together and this is off to a really great start. I look forward to reading this one. Little Merry is so cute! Author Reply: Thanks, Grey Wonderer! I like Frodo and Merry together as well. I really should write more about him! Frodo does make another cameo later in the story. | |

| I believe I started reading this a while ago, but never got around to finishing (I tend to do that :P). The angst so far is very well balanced by humourous moments, such as Esmeralda belting Ferdinand in the nose! Looking forward to reading more of this, especially if you ever come to where Frodo leaves Buckland (and this time I won't cheat and read the ff.net version :P) Author Reply: Well...you *could* cheat, but just to let you know--I've re-written chapter six and part of chapter seven! Six comes from a whole different angle now. LOL...Why is it that everyone likes Esmeralda punching out Ferdie's lights? :-P You just gave me a little plot bunny about Frodo leaving Merry behind--or else I may alter another angsty Merry story that takes place around that timeframe...hmmm. btw, I'm going to be checking out your Estella/Merry romance; I've dropped mine for the time being. Thank you, Pervinca (I love that character, too!) for reading and reviewing! Pippinfan | |

| I´ve read this before, but bad reviewer that I am, I have probably not told you that it is a wonderful, angsty story with such a cute little Merry! Very well written. Author Reply: You are not a bad reviewer--I hate to admit it, but there are other things going on in our lives that might need our attention when it is time to review. Fan fiction is our 'escape' from our hectic life. But, with that said, I *do* like encouragement--and contstructive criticism as well. It lets me know if something is well received, or needs adjusting/correction. Just to let you know, since you mentioned that you read it before, I've pretty much re-written chapter 6 and some of chapter 7. For some reason, the original pony story didn't read too well, so I went from another angle. Perhaps you can be my "barometer" when we get there. Thank you for taking the time to review! :-) Pippinfan p.s. I noticed you pulled your story and lost the review I sent--now that it's back up, I'll send another one! :-) | |

| Who's Saradas? | |

| Who is Uncle Saradas? Cute Merry, and I like how protective Frodo is. I'm off to read more. If you were intending Saradas to be Merry's father, his actual name is Saradoc. Author Reply: Thank you, Arwen! LOL...You're not the first person to ask that--Saradas is Rory's younger brother. I thought he was a good candidate to be Frodo's guardian at Brandy Hall after he was orphaned. He's listed in the Brandybuck family tree in the appendices. Take care. Pippinfan | |
