Cloud Berries! Oh for ever more!-GW (LOL!)

Doesn’t my wife look fetching in her night gown, this morning, Sam?" Merry grinned and Sam, like he always did, blushed.

"Did you drink all night?" Estella asked.

"No, darling," Merry smiled. "Just until I passed out. - GW (rofl)


Oh, my gosh! You truly have a gift for humor! These are only a sample of the lines that I was laughing *with*! I'm really enjoying this wonderful story! I liked the little trip back to their younger days! Off to read more...

Author Reply: Why that you! Your stories always have humor in them also and I think that's why I enjoy them so much. I am very bad at keeping things angsty all the way through I'm afraid. Thanks for the worderful reviews. You are one of the faithful and it helps to know someone is reading and what they think.
Naming the berries was a challenge as I know so little about naturally growing plants! Thought since they put your head in the clouds, then that might work. LOL

This was such a wonderful story! I suppose it was a good thing that you didn't give into my pleas and reveal the ending. It was quite a surprise, and I really enjoyed it. So glad to see that everything worked out fine in the end - especially between Pippin and Diamond, and Pippin and Merry. Great work! (oh, and I thought having the board was a clever idea!)

Author Reply: Thank you for reading and reviewing all the way through this one. It helps! I hoped the explaination for Pippin's behavior would come off as believable but I wasn't sure how it would be accepted. I'm also glad to know that you found the board acceptable. I wasn't sure how far I could go along those lines without completely leaving the Shire way of doing things. I went with British politics a bit as the Thain seems a bit like Shire royality, so I did figure that someone was about to keep him in check. (other than Merry, of course.)

Hey, GW. I'm afraid that the prologue is as far as I can get right now, but I wanted to start at least and let you know that I haven't forgotten about you. It's just that things have been very busy around here and I haven't been able to read much of anything lately. :(

The summary sounds interesting, so things should be entertaining, especially with you on the writing end of all this. :)

I'll return as soon as possible and let you know what I think. :)

Author Reply: Hey, Chigger! I was beginning to think youmight be ill or something. Hadn't seen any new stories from you in a while and hadn't heard a word in ages. Glad to know you are still around. I look forward to hearing your opinions on this one when you have time.Take care and come back when you can.

AHHHHHHH! Go read the book Merry! lol! Great sense of suspense, but Poor Pip- getting all those nasty Mr. Bilbo rumors stirred again! Looking forward to more.

Author Reply: Yes, it will be a shame if Estella is the only one that manages to find time to read the book, won't it? Pippin seems to be keeping everyone else too busy. Seems no matter what I write, I just have to have a Bilbo moment in there somewhere don't I? Maybe the little brown book could be a story on line all on its own? hmmmmmm....thinking this over.

Aha - so now the reason for Pippin's strange vision becomes clear! Cloud berries - I like that. Again, you have managed to successfully avoid telling me what Pippin's done! You really don't *have* to do that. I'll keep reading your story if you tell, lol. :)

Author Reply: Hey, not fair! If I tell you, then everyone else is going to expect me to let them in on it and then what will I do for suspense?

So Pippin's really just been affected by berries, or is there more to it? I have a friend who had an experience while on some kind of mushroom that his dead grandmother came and gave him a lecture to clean up his act. He believes she really came to him then - he found a broach of hers that had been missing for years in his hand when he woke up. He stopped mind-altering substances cold turkey and got into college. Are you planning something similiar for Pippin? I guess I'll have to wait to find out...

Author Reply: Watch and see.

Lyta PadfootReviewed Chapter: 9 on 3/18/2004
Yeah! New chapter! Pippin is starting to open up again to Merry.

Author Reply: Seems talking is easier when they are younger with less worries.

Sam groaned inwardly. Was he now considered too grand to knock on a door himself? - GW

That is funny--too precious! *Especially* coming from Sam!


What is Pippin up to??????! Please don't leave me hanging....

Pippinfan

Author Reply: Don't worry. Now that Sam is here things should get sorted out. After all, we can wrap things up properly without the Mayor can we?

PIppinfan1988Reviewed Chapter: 7 on 3/17/2004
It's great that Pippin feels he can finally open up...I think. I'm itching to to know what he has done as the Thain the "the big world"! On to the next chapter...

Author Reply: Sooner or later you are bound to get to the bottom of this mess if you keep reading. That is, of course, if I manage to get it posted! LOL

IorhaelReviewed Chapter: 1 on 3/16/2004
Here you are again with a new story! Congrats!

:) It makes me smile to imagine the normally-playful Pippin became so businesslike and serious. I hope he won't stay like that through out the story! I love the old Pippin. Well, GW, I'm curious at what you have in store for us.

Author Reply: Glad that it made you smile and review. For more Pippin, just keep reading as you may be surprised by this one. I tried somthing a bit different.
