| Poor Pippin. He's so easy to humiliate in stories, isn't he? And what a first meeting with Diamond! You should write something further about that :P Don't worry too much about the format - it wasn't too hard to read. It's so annoying when things like that happen though! I loved the chapter about Pippin's first party experience! So typical of a child to think they've won everything when they've actually lost. How cute :P - Pervinca Author Reply: I was so frustrated with the format that I almost gave up and decided to try posting it later on. I am glad people can still read it. There will be more party stories coming as well as more on what Merry managed to do to land himself in bed. Thanks for reading and reviewing! | |

| Dear readers: I haven't lost my mind (again), Grey Wonderer requested a review in Dutch. :) So here goes... Op jouw verzoek een recentie in het Nederlands: Arme Merijn, het is geen pretje om op bed te moeten liggen tijdens het feestje van je neef. Het eerste verhaal, over het feestje waar Pepijn alle spelletjes verloor, had ik al gelezen. Ik vind de manier waarop je de verhalen met elkaar verbind goed gevonden. Ik heb erg genoten van dit verhaal, vooral van onhandige Pepijn en de teil met water. Het is iets dat mij ook zou kunnen overkomen! Author Reply: Thank you for the review in Dutch! It looks so pretty and it is different from all of my other reviews. I know you think I'm crazy but I thought it would look interesting and it does, so thank you so much for honoring a rather strange request and for reviewing. | |

| Poor Pippin! Hiding under his bed on his birthday because of the games! I'm sure Merry and Sam enjoyed the story! I liked that all of Pip's sisters were giving him advise on asking a girl to dance! Merry telling his Dad that he hadn't seen Pippin since he came in to change, nicely done! Then the mess Pip made, whew! I hope no one holds it against him, especially this lass from Long Cleeve ;) Looking forward to more birthday stories! Author Reply: I see Pippin as a bit shy with the lasses. I figure it might just take all of his sisters and Merry to convince him that he has a chance with a lass. I also see Merry as one of those folks that he manage to stretch the truth if need be. More birthday stories are coming so come back when you can and thanks for the review. | |

| No need to apologize--*I* realize that these sites can be temperamental at times! This is sweeeet!! You're bringing Diamond into it! Too cool! Though all wet she may be...loved Pippin's height dragging him into the tub of water! And I also liked how much better you had his sisters treat him. Very well written! :-) Pippinfan Author Reply: I figured that now that they are all older, they might just get along better. Glad you managed to read this with all the trouble that I had posting it. At first it was too wide and ran off the screen and then it did this really odd thing to the spacing, and finally I wound up with what you now see. Not good but better than before. I am almost afraid of what it will do to my next chapter! LOL | |

| Fantastic, GW! "Your mum won’t allow this," Merry said, still smiling. "Also, I believe when one turns thirty, that they are considered too old to hide underneath their bed." ROFL!! And Merry bouncing on the bed to squeak Pippin into telling his story! LOL... Great chapter! :-) Pippinfan Author Reply: Thank you! I aim to please if possible. I liked having Merry beg for a story for a change. | |

| That was good for a chuckle! Good for Pip! I loved Frodo's consideration of young Merry's feelings. Fun description of trying to get a hoard of little ones enough under control to start the games. Sounds very true to life. I forgot to ask, how old is Merry in the previous chapter? If Pippin is old enough to be smoking a pipe, I figure this is soon before the Quest or not long after (seeing as Frodo is there). Author Reply: Merry is 38 at this point in time. Pippin is on birthday number 30, so this is post-quest and Frodo is still around. I like having Frodo around whenever possible. Oh, and look for a flash back with dear Bilbo. I can never resist including him. | |

| Such a promising beginning. I feel all ready to settle back in that other overstuffed chair by the bed and listen to Merry's storytelling. Do we get to hear how the accident happened? (You know, Pip would fit right in at our house. The hobbits who live here aren't much for unpacking and putting away, and their clothes don't always make it to closet and drawers, and we have stacks of books in every room that look about to topple over...) Author Reply: Pippin's room is also a lot like my house. Nothing gets put away and everything looks as if it might fall over at any minute.You will get the accident story at some point in all of this, so get comfortable in the other chair before someone else gets it. | |

| Prologues seldom get reviews, and I have some free time today so I thought I'd put this drop in the prologue bucket. So glad to see another story of yours! I didn't have time to R&R the last one or two, so I'm glad I'm taking an enforced break from writing (vowed I would take the weekend off this week after a terribly busy month, and another busy week ahead) and have time to read a bit! Author Reply: My prologue thanks you. You are right, they seldom get a review and this must have been a really good prologue because it has now managed to get two reviews! I now wonder if the story can live up to the promise of the prologue. Thanks for taking the time to review. | |

| It was as good as I remembered it being! LOL! I liked how you added the bit at the end to tie it all together, Can't wait to see what other tales Merry has to tell. Bravo! Author Reply: This will be a real hobbit-type story because hobbits love tales and this is going to be full of them. Glad you enjoyed this one again. After all, it was your birthday story and it is also what started this one out. | |
