| Good ending. People and the Land - more important than gold and jewels. I'm glad Pippin didn't forget the Took-Grubbs - and that they didn't allow themselves to drown in bitterness and resentment. Pippin seems healthier for the moment, too. Although I've forgotten quite what comes next. Nothing like having plenty of money for carrying out the improvements. (I think you've explained a lot of Paladin's resentment). Good story. Author Reply: The next story in existence (i.e. already posted) is "Down and Out", which takes place, I think, three years after this ends (or it might be two years; don't have the timeline in front of me). There's another story in the works that takes place between the end of this story and "Down and Out", regarding ruffians sneaking into the Shire to try to get at the Thain's gold. It doesn't have a title yet and is only partly outlined, but the plot summary is finished so it has a beginning, middle and ending and may yet get written. Glad that Paladin is more understandable. (Though probably still not likeable.) Thanks for commenting! Author Reply: Funny, and I have still not looked at the Chronology, but I realised this morning while brushing my teeth (who knows how many problems get solved in such times) that the next story after "StarFire", after the one in the works (working title: All that Glisters), ought to be "FirstBorn". Did you follow that sentence? For some reason I woke up exhausted this morning, after a full night's sleep. Why is that? By "Down and Out" Diamond is already expecting the twins who are born in "Rope", so FirstBorn has to come before that, and then "Runaway". I'm going to have to take another look at my own chronology one of these days, when life slows down a bit, just to get my head in order. | |
