:D I love this! Pip can really be a 'pip' can't he? The Prologue is just as entertaining as the next chapter.

Author Reply: Thank you! At some point I got tired of writing the same old disclaimer and started trying to make it different. Glad you approve.

I love that expression of Sam's as he sits in the boat - he really doesn't look happy.

Love Pippin guilelessly putting his foot in it - I think he only opens his mouth so often to change feet! Poor Boromir, he must wonder what he has let himself in for! And sneaky Aragorn, delegating the 'hobbit-sitting' task to Boromir while he took the two sensible hobbits!

Author Reply: It must have taken all of the courage that Sam had to get in that boat. It proves how very devoted he was to Frodo.
Pippin does have a way of putting the wrong foot forward, doesn't he?
That talent of delegating authority is why Aragorn made such a wonderful King!

Your disclaimers are priceless, GW! Gave me a good laugh this morning, even though there was no time to review.

Author Reply: Glad to give you a laugh. : )

Here's an idea for you: how about a collection of your disclaimers? They're almost as good as the stories!

[Unfortunately, I don't think such a collection would fit in SoA's guidelines. Maybe you could ask for an exemption?]

Author Reply: I doubt my disclaimers fit anyone's guidelines. I have embarked on a whole new quest for the oddest prologues. It seems some folks have come along for the ride. Thank you for reading and I'm very glad you enjoyed this one. (Are there exemptions?)

I love your disclaimers GW. You bring me a grin every time!

Author Reply: It makes me grin to know that people read these. At the moment the prologue has more reviews than the story! How's that for a new level of strange?

Oh, goodness, what a good Sam-voice! You have him down pat :D This fic made me smile as if it were chocolate, which, given my fondness for that substance, is a Feat Indeed. I'm very grateful! Your Merry and your Pippin are marvellous:

Boromir, you take Merry and Pippin.”

“Both of them?” Boromir said sounding less than pleased with his lot

LOL! Poor Boromir-but I would swap places with him in an instant.

“Now, get in the boat and close your mouth or I’ll suggest that Boromir use you as an anchor.”

Thanks so much for brightening my day with this wonderful insight into Sam's view of the Quest. It's beautiful.

Author Reply: Wow! I used to be very nervous about writing Sam. Your review really makes me feel good about this little story. thank you for reading and this lovely review. (I'd trade places with Boromir for the boat ride too!)

Pippin: "I've read some of it and don't tell anyone that I told you this but both Bilbo and Frodo used JRR Tolkien's characters too."

--Your disclaimer made me laugh! Thanks :D I really needed that!

Author Reply: I'm so glad I could give you a laugh. I like it when the prologue gets laughs. Thanks for reviewing!

I LOVE reading your disclaimers, and this is the best one yet!

Hugs,

(No vegetables were harmed in the writing of this review.)



Author Reply: See, who needs the story? Prologues are what's important. You gotta have that disclaimer. Thanks for reviewing and enjoying! (Very relieved to know that no vegetables were harmed. : )

As Sam’s old Gaffer always said there’s nothin’ like a good laugh to chase off your worries.

And that's something that Mr. Pippin knows just as well as the Gaffer, Sam.

This was adorable! I am so glad you are putting your very own unique spin on the Quest--I love it!



Author Reply: Hey, you kept telling me to write Quest and now it seems to be sneaking up on me. I actually have about four Quest fictions to post here! (Most are Shirebound's suggestions. She always gives me something to write even when she doesn't mean to do so.) Since there will be a few more, let me know if I step on the canon! Thanks for the encouragement.

LOLOLOLOL! Only you, GW, can make disclaimers so much fun!

Author Reply: And you are making reviews for prologues fun! Thanks!
