Fiondil · 29 April 2009 · Chapter 4: Valinor Virus

The Valinor Virus! And Gandalf's taking no chances having died once already? *lol* Just what I needed today, Shirebound. Thanks for brightening my day. As there are a couple of pigs here on the farm in Germany where I'm presently living (their names are Eberhard and Miss Piggy, btw), we have to be extra careful and keep their stalls cleaner than usual, so this was an interesting read for me given the present concern over the swine flu situation.

Glad this gave you a giggle, Fiondil. Too much doom and gloom in the news these days! :)

Can't remember if I reviewed this on your L.J. or not. Any way, just loved it, I am sure Galadrial was just waiting to get on line for something, you know how it is when you have to share a computer, it is always in use when you want it! Poor Celeborn having to deal with a grumpy Istar, men make the worst patients! I am sure he was glad to see the back of him! More please, Lynda

Glad you enjoyed the silliness! It's fun to find the lighter side of Middle-earth.

Author's reply

In this story, Frodo's not much of a fan either!

Tigger · 4 October 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

Oh...I could so hear Viggo crying that when I read it...ROTFLOL!!! "The Quenyan Queen"...Rose Cotton Activities Director...She'd have that blonde curly hair needed for the job too. ;o) Yes, I was brought up on The Love Boat too. When I was allowed to see it that is...:oD Wonderful parody shirebound. Loved it!!

Author's reply

Glad you enjoyed it, Tigger! Always glad to pass along a few giggles. :D

Andrea · 1 October 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

“Last one on board is an orc!” ROTFL!!! Shirebound, you're wonderful! And good old Sam found the most beautiful cause to finally overcome his fear of boats ;-)

Author's reply

Thanks, Andrea. Isn't it fun when we can indulge in a bit of Middle-earth wackiness?

cookiefleck · 30 September 2006 · Chapter 1: Patience with Patients

Oh nevermind... I just realized the title of the first "chapter" was the title of the entire "story" and that I put the fb in the correct place, after all... *sighs*

Author's reply

*hugs you*

cookiefleck · 30 September 2006 · Chapter 1: Patience with Patients

Ooops... hit the wrong button... obviously, the fb was for the cruise story. *sits in corner*

cookiefleck · 30 September 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

Thanks for a big laugh out loud. "Last one on board is an orc."

Author's reply

Thank *you*! Glad this gave you a giggle.

vampfan30 · 30 September 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

OMG!! these are so funny, I nearly choked.. this is the first bit of your stuff that I have read (I think - I just read so much...) I enjoyed them immensely...^^__^^

Author's reply

Thank you, Vamp! I love weaving lightheartedness and teasing into my stories, but rarely write anything quite like these -- scenes that are just totally silly. It's such fun to share little giggles like these once in awhile. (Another silly I wrote is called "Can You Sing, Master Hobbit?")

Grey Wonderer · 30 September 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

Aragorn playing shuffle board? Now that I'd pay to see! I also love Rosie as the cruse director. A bit of a LOVE BOAT moment! LOL

Author's reply

The Elves have had thousands of years to think up this idea, after all. Surely *all* their voyages weren't solemn and serious. :D

Grey Wonderer · 30 September 2006 · Chapter 2: The Truth Comes Out

So Frodo is about to teach Gandalf a lesson?! With Sam's approval? LOL About time.

Author's reply

*giggles* That'll teach Gandalf not to be so cryptic and mysterious all the time. :D

Grey Wonderer · 30 September 2006 · Chapter 1: Patience with Patients

LOLOLOLOL That was great!

Author's reply

Thank you!

Baggins Babe · 30 September 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

*giggle* *snork* Aragorn as shuffleboard champion! Rosie as the Activities Director! Oh dearie me, you wicked author you!! These stories need to carry a health warning. Good thing I never drink anything near the computer. Great going, Shirebound!

Author's reply

Glad you enjoyed, BB! I need to see about getting us tickets for one of those cruises...

Fiondil · 29 September 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

Okay, who's been into the rum swizzles before Happy Hour again? Now that's a cruise I wouln't mind taking! I wonder if Windjammer....

Author's reply

Yes, why aren't they advertising these cruises more heavily? I wonder if they give internet 'special discount' rates...

Agape4Gondor · 29 September 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

ROTFL - I loved the 'Elendil' part! Perfect!

Author's reply

Thank you so much. Aragorn snuck on board when I wasn't looking! :D

Agape4Gondor · 29 September 2006 · Chapter 2: The Truth Comes Out

I guess everything DID work out in the end, thanks to Sam!

Author's reply

Sam is everywhere Frodo needs him to be! :D

Agape4Gondor · 29 September 2006 · Chapter 1: Patience with Patients

Delightful stuff - your writing is always such fun to read!

Author's reply

Thank you so much. What a joy to share these sillies.

demeter d · 29 September 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

Delightfully inspired silliness! But so nice to come home to at the end of a long Friday! You are right. these people are very serious, most of the time. A bit of silly once in awhile is ...well...rather nice!

Author's reply

It's a pleasure to contribute a bit o' silly to a long week. So glad you enjoyed this. :D

Elanor Silmariën · 29 September 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

*giggles* That was funny! God bless, Ellie

Author's reply

Thanks, Ellie. This was fun! :D

Larner · 29 September 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

"No man is an island"? Oh, dear, our beloved Frodo is really reaching there! And Aragorn is shuffleboard champion? Oh, how marvelous! As long as the three hour tour doesn't end up stuck on a desert island.... And Sam already has found a draw to make him overcome his fear of boats and water! Heh! Lovely, my dear.

Author's reply

Poor Frodo just doesn't stall very well, does he? Thank you, Larner! These folks are always so serious... it's time for the lighter side of Middle-earth. :D

Lindelea · 29 September 2006 · Chapter 1: Patience with Patients

Still snorking. And reading backwards through the chapters, from last to first, as seems most appropriate, somehow. go to your happy place. Concentrate...

Author's reply

I do love it when people snork. And even Gandalf gets to have a happy place! :D

Lindelea · 29 September 2006 · Chapter 2: The Truth Comes Out

My goodness, you certainly are *savage* today! What have you been eating?

Author's reply

Who, me? (looks innocent)

Lindelea · 29 September 2006 · Chapter 3: A Three Hour Cruise

*snork* You're right. Utter silliness. But perfect for Friday. (TGIF)

Author's reply

Yay for happy Friday Fic. :D
