| Oh, but I love deputy Mayor Frodo stories! I love how Sandy is following Frodo's intentions so well! Author Reply: Thank you! I have not yet had time to go and properly review your birthday story, but it will make a delicious treat this evening, I am certain! (p.s. apologies, but the last bit got left off when I posed this, and I just now added it. Just thought I'd let you know.) | |

| *giggles* Oh really, the poor minstrel! I have written one of mine and Emma's OCs, Luthavar (visiting from Mirkwood) as being responsible for THAT Dorwinion disaster! But I love what you've done here, and his reflections on Bilbo for his Lothlorien friend! Author Reply: Hahaha! I will have to go looking for that story of yours! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a good word. | |

| Oh wow! This is really great - I need to read all of these. (I plowed my way through "The Tenth Walker" today, too caught up to pause for breath - or reviewing - but I want more I want MORE! Heh! :) But this one caught my eye, of course it did because SEAGULLS, and my own Seagull-muse is sitting right here with me *hugs Donut* and anyway I feel so badly for this poor fisherman, but good for him to keep up the good fight! I do hope he'll be rescued; pinned under a troll can't be how it ends for him, can it? (Donut offers him a few fish, to strengthen him for the fighting.) Back to the beginning of these to read them all! :) Kaylee Arafinwiel Author Reply: A belated thank you! I hadn't seen your reviews before now, and I want you to know that I greatly appreciate your taking the time to read and to leave a good word. I think the fisherman was most likely saved after the battle when Gimli found Pippin's foot sticking out from under that troll. When the troll was rolled away, the makeshift wall of orc-bodies collapsed to reveal the wall-builder. Hopefully that's some encouragement! | |

| Oh, but I do love this, a fisherman caught in a battle for which he may be poorly prepared but still doing his best to kill those of the foe who come within his reach! Well done, and properly done, too! Author Reply: Thank you! How are the pups? Just two more weeks left in the school year, and then I hope to have some time to finish a few stories, like that overlarge pup causing trouble in Minas Tirith... | |

| This was great, but I need more. What happened to the person trapped under the Orc? I was delighted to see something finally posted on SOA. Author Reply: Thank you! The school year is nearly finished, and I'm hoping to be able to carve out some fanfic time at least during the summer months. Author Reply: (p.s. he was found when Gimli discovered Pippin's foot under the Troll) | |

| Oh wow, this is chilling, and beautifully written. Author Reply: Thank you! I keep hoping that once the school year ends, I'll be able to find time for fanfic again... Can't wait to catch up on your stories. | |

| Sweet! I love that he wants to give her such a delightful gift! But jumping with the cat wasn't exactly the best thing to do. Heh! Author Reply: I imagine it's not a mistake he'll make twice. Thanks! | |

| What a beautiful mathom. Pip's gift was worth more than any tangible gift. Whenever I see the word "faunt" I immediately think of Narnia. Author Reply: Oh, now I will think of Narnia whenever I see the word! I never quite put the two together before. I can be so compartmentalised... A gift from the heart, whether it be a pebble or a wish, can mean so much more somehow. Thanks! | |

| A cat's purr...what a sweet gift, although those scratches are going to sting something awful later on. I also loved this bit. Why wash, if one didn’t get dirty? And why not get dirty, if one were to wash anyhow? Author Reply: Children's logic is eminently logical, I find. I love to imagine that Pippin (and Ferdi, to some extent) kept this quality of whimsy, which is one reason he got on so well with people (especially children), except of course those with little or no imagination (or those who don't want to admit to having such a thing). My, I'm rambling tonight. Hope that made sense. | |

| Oh, poor little Pip! And poor Eglantine! And poor kitty! But this was so sweet and beautiful! ((hugs)) Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! Author Reply: I did, thanks! Breakfast in bed (French toast, yum), chocolate cheesecake for tea, watching a movie together as a family, frisbee on the front lawn -- a full day, for certain. (Hope you did, too!) "Poor kitty" is right! I can only imagine how the unfortunate creature felt: happily snuggled in a secure hold, mostly asleep and enjoying gentle stroking, and then, without warning, the bottom drops out and you have that awful weightless falling feeling... (maybe not "awful" if you're skydiving or dreaming of flying, but certainly "awful" if you're not expecting such a thing!) Yikes! (And poor little Pip, really too young to imagine the consequences of his actions. He had no fear of jumping, not after Merry and Ferdi's lesson. He didn't stop to think maybe the kitty wouldn't have the same reaction. He probably has heard all his short life about how cats land on their feet, and figures they're not afraid of heights, if he even thinks about it at all!) Ah, Eglantine. It certainly gave her a story to tell for years afterward. Thanks for the comments, and for the encouragement to go ahead and finish this one up instead of putting into storage until next year. I'm so good at procrastinating. (I'm procrastinating right now, can you tell? Ought to be in bed. Okay. Going now.) | |
