The Terror of Buckland  by Inkling 17 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 4 on 12/15/2004
I'd forgotten about Gorbadoc and Mirabella. Am waiting for the next chapter restlessly.

Author Reply: Sorry to leave you hanging! *grins* Should get last chapter posted later today.

Gorbadoc's info isn't problematic. That may have been referring to when they were first married since we don't know when that was.

ex. 1360(prim and drogo married), 1363(Gorbadoc dies), 1368(frodo born). See it still works. Couples don't have to have kids right after they're married and some can't. So, it still works. They enjoyed his feasts. And Rorimac may have kept his father's tradition of having a few hundred people in the Hall. Though I'll admit it does sound a bit odd.

Love this story, btw. I've always wondered what Farmer Maggot meant by "worst young rascal of Buckland". All of the other fic writers depict him as a sullen boy who would withdraw into books and things. But that's not the making of a rascal. Keep it up.

Author Reply: Hmm, I always thought the Gaffer meant they were staying with Gorbadoc the night they "drownded"...oh well, whether or no, Gorbadoc lives in this story!
I'm glad you're enjoying it, and my take on Frodo...while he does like his books, his rascally reputation is well deserved! Coming soon: the final chapter.

Really good! I feel for poor frodo,he seems so unhappy... Little merry seems to make him happy for a while. It seems some-one always wants to find fault with him...
He should never had eaten those grapes,they ended up being his misery...

keep up the great job...

Author Reply: Thanks, glad you're enjoying it! As you'll see little Merry has an important part to play before the end...

I must say this has had me choking with laughter. Excellently written and researched!

Author Reply: I'm glad it gave you a chuckle! This is my own favorite chapter in the story.

So, Frodo and Saradoc are equally cognizant of the limitations of words. Poor chicken. Well written.

Author Reply: You are a master of the insightful one-line review! I love it when reviewers notice things I didn't see myself. Thanks!

Oh goody! This is a marvellous fic and so deserves to be here! I couldn't be more delighted to see it turn up here at my favorite website! Yeah!!!

Author Reply: Thanks for the warm welcome! *hugs* I posted it here because the story I'm currently working on is a sequel of sorts, and if I ever get the durn thing finished I want to publish it here...so "Terror" needed to go up first.

I can also remember wanting to be unloved in my childhood. Find I can empathise with your Frodo. Well written.

Author Reply: Thank you Larner, I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that you "got" Frodo's response to Ezzie. In this story Frodo's problems are at least partly of his own making.
