| I really should be reading this next Sunday! We owe Frodo much. So few words but great. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: We do! Haiku are not my usual sort of poetic expression, but this one seemed to feel just right. And the number for the prompt came just as I finished up reading about that moment in my latest re-read of LotR. | |

| Oh, absolutely delightful, even at midnight when I have to get up too early in the morning... (I remember that story. What fun to hear the hobbit version!) Lin Author Reply: That story was one that quite stood out among all the other folktales in the same volume; I LOVE those old orange backed Childcrafts! I'm not sure that the hobbit version is quite as charming as Wanda Gag's beautifully charming and eccentric RL version-- but I am glad that it seems to come across as hobbity! | |

| Great little story, and very hobbity! I can just see little Sam Gamgee and his siblings hearing this story told at the table... Author Reply: Thanks! Yeah, I think this one is a Shire standard, kind of like my "Tip and Tulip" stories...especially with the little moral of it-- which is that Big Folk are all well and good, but family and home are better... | |

| I would love to see the completed masterpiece! *prods you and Calla with furry foot* Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: I would too! I am not sure if (as Calla's interpreter) I can live up to the hype of the original she described-- I am longing to try it, but a little fearful as well... | |

| Oh, that's sad... Poor Deagol but even more poor Smeagol. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Indeed. Poor Smeagol. And yet he allowed himself to succumb... | |

| Now that's interesting, a room that 'stinks' of pity and Saruman noticing it. I would think that Bilbo's bedroom would also then. Sharkey must have really had to hold his nose when he saw Frodo! :) No wonder he hated him. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: At one point JRRT says that the Maia recognize one another by scent. So this is my nod to that convention. Saruman never understood the true value of Pity. | |

| I only recognized the main theme but I loved the Monkees and it was such a shock to hear of Davy's death. A nice tribute, my dear! Liked the first story too. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: I had a lot of fun with that little parody. It was a shock! It seems so odd that the baby of the group went first... | |

| LOL! Author Reply: *grin* 8-) | |

| I do like the image of love as a spell of power. Author Reply: It IS a spell of power, really. I'd never realized before just how poetic JRRT's own recounting of this was, until I tried to do something with it. | |

| And a fun recounting too. Author Reply: Thanks! I was glad to be able to get two prompts into one entry! | |
