| Very nice indeed. Please write more! Author Reply: Can't guarantee anything for a good long time, unfortunately--Canon characters are not my forte and I find it very difficult to write gapfiller because there always has to be some reason that Tolkien didn't include it, but another reason that it must have happened. Anything other than that rapidly devolves into self-indulgence, which I am not immune to but I nonetheless try to avoid. At any rate most of my creative energy is currently going towards my mostly-OC epic(ish) tale(s) set over 100 years after LotR and dealing with the relationship of the past to the present, memory and to what extent it should factor in day-to-day life, and lots and lots of shiny manuscripts. Do check it out if it seems to be your thing. Thanks for the review! | |

| This is such a bittersweet, totally realistic conversation. Frodo certainly has given Rosie quite a lot to think about. If you ever feel the urge to write about what comforts and changes Rosie *does* bring to Bag End, I'd love to read it. Author Reply: Heh. That's a bit of a tall order, so I'll probably leave it where it lies (for now). Knowing that she and Sam took the best possible care of Frodo tells me all I need to know. : ) | |

| This was a delight, seeing Rosie realizing that Frodo wasn't "stealing" her Sam, but wanted to see the two of them wed as much as she did! Thanks so much for this. Author Reply: Thanks for the review! Frodo of course wants to see Sam as happy as possible, and he knows that Rosie will be able to do so in ways that he never could. So it's very smart to put himself on her side, because currently Sam is the only person who's delaying the wedding! | |

| Well, that's good that is all cleared up! Frodo and Rose both share half of Sam's heart and soul and certainly can't have them at odds with one another. Frodo is indeed a gentlehobbit to deal with Rose's jealousy so gracefully. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Frodo and Rose both share half of Sam's heart and soul and certainly can't have them at odds with one another. Precisely. I imagine that since Frodo knew Sam was going to marry Rosie he'd try to make whatever peace had to be made with her before she and Sam moved in. That could have turned ugly very fast, no less because neither one of them would want to aggrieve Sam! | |
