Dreamflower's Dribs and Drabs by Dreamflower
Lindelea · 15 March 2013 · Chapter 45: Eucatastrophe: Summer Respite
I love this! The whole thing made me smile, but especially (for some reason, perhaps the furry one lying not far away) the dog the size of a small pony...
Author's reply
*grin* Billie is one of my favorite OCs. BTW, do you suppose we will ever learn what happened to *another* dog the size of a pony--or at least the size to hold down a certain Knight of Gondor by lying atop him? *grin*
Lindelea · 15 March 2013 · Chapter 44: Dream a Little Dream of Me
Beautiful summation of a critical time in their courtship. Well done!
Author's reply
Yes, a courtship between a Baggins and a Took would certainly have its bumpy spots! I'm glad you liked it!
Lindelea · 15 March 2013 · Chapter 43: Sestina for Pippin
I am so very impressed. You managed to keep within the form and yet told the tale so well.
Author's reply
Sestinas are hard in one way, and yet easy in another; scansion is not as important in a sestina, and rhymes are taken care of by the word-repetition. I'm glad you thought the tale unfolded well within the form!
Lindelea · 15 March 2013 · Chapter 42: No Regrets
Ah, and that was the moment when Merry became my favourite of all the hobbits.
Author's reply
It's most definitely among my top-favorite "Merry-moments"! He's so loyal, passionate and gallant!
Lindelea · 15 March 2013 · Chapter 41: Knowing
Ellie is so perceptive. She's her dad's daughter, but definitely also her mother's. (How *did* Rose know to be expecting Sam's return, anyhow?)
Author's reply
Because Rose was special, of course! *grin* While foresight might be thought "Tookish", I don't think they had an exclusive market on it! ;)
Lindelea · 15 March 2013 · Chapter 40: Fever!
Lovely slice of time; very evocative.
Author's reply
Thank you! I think it probably suited my recipients, LOL!
Larner · 15 March 2013 · Chapter 49: From Dark to Light
Oh, yes, the light returning just in time to blaze from the jewels their future queen worked into that standard, a forelightening, if you will, of what further is to come!
Author's reply
Exactly.
Larner · 15 March 2013 · Chapter 48: A Few MORE Limericks
Cute, Dreamflower!
Author's reply
Thank you!
shirebound · 21 February 2013 · Chapter 47: Teaching a Lesson
Oh gosh, this is so terrific. I'm basking in the hobbity love today.
Author's reply
Thanks dear! Hobbity love is the awesomest!
Antane · 21 February 2013 · Chapter 48: A Few MORE Limericks
Cute! I enjoyed these! Namarie, God bless, Antane who has gotten addicted, yes, my precious, quite addicted to Pinterest so giving that up for Lent instead of the usual hobbity fic :)
Author's reply
*grin* That's good! That means maybe you won't miss Back-to-Middle-earth Month this year!
Virtuella · 21 February 2013 · Chapter 48: A Few MORE Limericks
Hehehe, very funny. I liked the Bilbo one, and the Gollum one was the funniest. :)
Author's reply
These were fun to do! It's not often you can write humor about Gollum!!
shirebound · 20 February 2013 · Chapter 48: A Few MORE Limericks
You're good at these! They're all so delightful.
Author's reply
Thank you dear! I could not believe I had not yet posted these here!
Lindelea · 7 October 2012 · Chapter 42: No Regrets
O excellent! This sums up Merry (who has always been my favourite hobbit, though perhaps not obvious), very well indeed.
Author's reply
I don't know that he's my favorite--I tend to love our lads pretty much equally (all five of them, for I include Bilbo)--but I have to say Merry has been the easiest for me to get to know! His POV comes to me much more quickly than does that of the others! I'm glad you liked this!
Lindelea · 7 October 2012 · Chapter 47: Teaching a Lesson
LOL! Nicely done. I love that Pippin bested the guardsman fair and square, and also the other guardsmen's and king's reactions!
Author's reply
Yep. I've had that bunny for a while, but it would never lend itself to anything longer. I had fun writing it out. ((hugs)) Lovely having you around again!
Lindelea · 7 October 2012 · Chapter 46: HOBBITS
Absolutely!
Author's reply
*grin* Thanks!
Antane · 2 October 2012 · Chapter 47: Teaching a Lesson
He'll think twice before he messes with a hobbit again! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
I should certainly hope so! I think he'll be a lot less cocky too!
Virtuella · 30 September 2012 · Chapter 47: Teaching a Lesson
Ah, a fitting illustration of "Never underestimate a hobbit!"
Author's reply
Nope. Never. Ever.
Larner · 26 September 2012 · Chapter 47: Teaching a Lesson
Oh, I find myself laughing at the expense of the hapless young Guardsman, who was treated quite properly by a careful young Hobbit who has a far better appreciation of his own skills than did the young Man! Lovely! And I do think Aragorn is likely to be properly hard on the fellow!
Author's reply
Yep. I can imagine that in addition to a stern and eye-opening lecture from his liege-lord, he will be set to some very unpleasant duty for a month or so, and perhaps encouraged to learn a lesson in anger-management as well. I figure him as someone from an outlying area, young, and who was not able to participate in the ending of the War--now he's set on proving himself and very embarrassed at being "bested" by someone half his size.
Larner · 22 September 2012 · Chapter 46: HOBBITS
Yes--well said indeed! Hooray!
Author's reply
Hooray indeed! *toots horns and dances springle-ring*
Antane · 22 September 2012 · Chapter 46: HOBBITS
Here, here! Happy Day!!! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
Thanks, dearie!
eiluj · 22 September 2012 · Chapter 46: HOBBITS
It doesn't bear Thinking about Oh so true.
Author's reply
Really. When I think of the impact that LotR, and hobbits in particular, have had on my RL, I can't even fathom the direction my life would have taken without them.
shirebound · 22 September 2012 · Chapter 46: HOBBITS
A beautiful and loving tribute to our beloved characters, the enrichment they've brought us, and the joy of this special day.
Author's reply
Thank you, dear! They are so beloved, aren't they?
Periantari · 8 May 2012 · Chapter 18: Bound
I love this dribble-- done very well and in so few words yet captures the moment wonderfully. Love this! =)
Author's reply
Thank you!
Kaylee Arafinwiel · 26 October 2011 · Chapter 3: Two Yuletide Carols of the Shire
I love these two carols! Lindelea's a talented composer and musician, too! Well done to both of you. Kaylee
Author's reply
Thanks! Lin was such a sweetie to offer to compose the tunes; and it was so nice of Dana to host them!
Larner · 23 August 2011 · Chapter 45: Eucatastrophe: Summer Respite
I enjoyed this possible visit, and certainly appreciate Gandalf's desire for a day filled with his own company!
Author's reply
Thanks! It was fun, and at the height of a heat wave, I enjoyed imagining them enjoying the water and the breezes.
