In The Service of The King  by Grey Wonderer 36 Review(s)
LindeleaReviewed Chapter: Prologue on 9/12/2005
Ah, lovely, another GW story (though I haven't got back to finish reading the Hammer story yet, either. Where does the time go?) and the summary sounds quite intriguing... Here's hoping for no interruptions!

Author Reply: I was surprised when Marigold finished the Beta on this with all that wa going on in her RL. I figured that if she could finish the Beta that I should post it even though I have the other one running too. Makes me feel a bit too productive to have two stories at once. Stop by and read when you have time and thank you for reviewing the prologue. It starts the story out properly for me to see your prologue review.

Ooh, this is very good, GW! I can hardly wait to read the next chapter.

I hope Pippin is given a chance to arrange for some play areas within the city. And surely the King won't be too harsh, like making Pippin responsible for overseeing the recreational activities of certain underage youth, or anything like that, will he?

Chewing my nails in suspense,
Mum's the Word

Author Reply: Don't chew those nails. You may need them. Thanks for the lovely review and all of your questions should be answered by Wednesday. This one is only two parts long so save the nails. I was very lucky to have been given this little Plot Bunny. It was fun to write. Pansy gave this one a great start!

What a delightful beginning! The lads are so real, the characerizations rich and the descriptions of the Shire lush, and Pippin's homesickness very much felt. I love how you have him teaching the lads gentle lessons about their King and his justness and fairness, even as he 'hangs out with the guys.' I can't wait to see what happens next. Great start! :-)

Author Reply: Thank you! Glad that you are enjoying it. This one is only two parts long and so all of your questions will be answered in the next post. It should be complete by Wednesday. This little donated Bunny was lots of fun to write and Marigold really did a great job of lining it all out for me. Thanks for the lovely review!

Pippin is a wonderful representative of his people -- and his king. He's doing a lot of good in the City, and hopefully his friends will come to understand it.

Author Reply: Pippin's methods are always slightly different from what folks expect because he's Pippin. I think they will all come to see the value of his visits throughout Minas Tirith before long. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Good tale. And I somehow suspect that Pippin's wanderings and interaction with the populace of the city might be even more beneficial, in their way, to the rule of the King than the planting and building of the others.

Poor old Merry, though. He does find it hard to let his little cousin be his grown-up cousin.

Looking forward to more.



Author Reply: The rest of this one should be up by Wednesday now that 'someone we know and are grateful too' solved my format problem. (Thank you again for that.) Thank you also for reviewing and I am glad that you like it so far.

Ahything with with your hobbits and your O.C.s has got to be good...here I go...

Author Reply: I love the way you always stop by and review the prologue. I do hope you enjoy this one. It comes from such a good little Plot Bunny and unlike most of my stories, this one has been Beta'd! LOL
