Grey Wonderer · 14 April 2006 · Chapter 8: The Party

Now this is a surprise! I wonder how the rest of the party guests will react to this one? Looks like I'm all caught up on the chapters so I guess you'll just have to write more, won't you? LOL Thanks for another lovely chapter.

Grey Wonderer · 14 April 2006 · Chapter 7: Rumors

I wonder if Frodo will have to answer to any of those rumors once the guests arrive? Not a pleasant Yule surprise for him to have to face.

Grey Wonderer · 14 April 2006 · Chapter 6: Yule

I am glad Sam agreed to go to the dinner. I do wonder what news Saradoc has for Frodo though. I am enjoying this story very much.

Grey Wonderer · 14 April 2006 · Chapter 5: Bag End

(I glare at him jokingly. "Don't tell me you never talk to Bill. I've seen you do it." That silences him and we walk out of the hole.) I love that line! I also enjoyed the joking around about what the cat's name really should have been. Lovely chapter!

Arwen of Lorien · 13 April 2006 · Chapter 8: The Party

Greetings El! Not exactly a review but, I was reading the reviews and saw F.B.'s mistake in calling you Arwen.I had to LLLAAAUUUGGGHHH! HEHEHAHAHA! She doesnt know we have the same name in reality and yet now she calls you Arwen too! Arrg! This is going to far! Don't we already have enough confusion? -Your storys give me a good time and know your reviews do to! Haha!!!! God bless from Arwen-not El, Arwen. LOL! {0} {0} C (HEHEHE)

Frodo Baggins · 13 April 2006 · Chapter 8: The Party

Oh, Arwen! The last few chapters have been lovely! Hannon le, mellon nin. I'm glad Aragorn could come for Yule. However, something warns me that trouble is coming. Don't make it too bad, dear. Oh, and I love the way you do Frodo. It's wonderful. I love this story so far. Namarie, mellon nin. God Bless, Frodo Baggins

harrowcat · 13 April 2006 · Chapter 8: The Party

Any time Aragorn turns up unexpectedly is great Elanor. Although this is AU I am enjoying it a lot. Now how are you going to scotch these rumours that you have let loose?

Arwen of Lorien · 13 April 2006 · Chapter 8: The Party

Yuck! Rumurs! How distastful! Though I do enjoy watching these kind of problems fixed! So Merry AND Pippin have admirers also! Cute. I was so happy to see Aragorn! And in his ranger clothing and all! *Heh* I did not expect that at all! A pleasent surprise for them! I thought Aragorn would come in all kingly-like, and not have a friendly welcome, but definitly better this way, cause Hobbits don't usually like strange or big folk waltsin in and especially if he is a ruler! Aragorn is smart, (Or I should say you are.) Hehe. I love this story!+! Namarie God bless ~Arwen

Arwen of Lorien · 13 April 2006 · Chapter 5: Bag End

AAwww!! I know I will leave a review for the other chapters but I just HAD to leave one for this one. I LOVED it! You must know I am a cat person and I already adore Wanderer, (Love the name too!) Plus this chapter was charming. Specially' the ending! LOL. :) Great! Ok; now I must return to reading-- Namarie mellon-nin! God bless ~Arwen

Queen Galadriel · 12 April 2006 · Chapter 7: Rumors

Yeah, I know, but I promise I'll leave you be after this! LOL! Indeed, *very* specific. And it makes perfect sense that those Hobbits who were most influenced by the ruffians might be led to think such things. I wouldn't put it past Saruman's folk. Ugh! And I'm perfectly sure that since you're going to address these issues, you're going to do it right, so have at it! And you'd better get at those perverts first, because after I'm done, there may not be any left. :) God bless, Galadriel

Queen Galadriel · 12 April 2006 · Chapter 7: Rumors

Yes, I know it isn't true. But if it's what such a statement immediately makes me think, thanks to my having an accidental few glimpses of the dark side of fanfic, then those loud-mouthed, know-nothing gossips are in danger of the wrath of Galadriel. I can't bring myself to write such a supposition, and can't believe it entered my mind, and I'd find it hard to believe that anyone in the Shire would be thinking such a thing either. On the other hand, if they're concerned about propriety as in servant-master, well, that's just bull. I hope I don't seem on edge; I'm afraid I bristle when that aforementioned dark side is even hinted at, because it's horrible. God bless, Galadriel

Queen Galadriel · 12 April 2006 · Chapter 8: The Party

Oh, how lovely--a surprise visit from Aragorn! In the book he didn't come north till after Frodo had sailed, but I like this. :) The end was delightful. LOL! But if only Frodo could have continued to joke about it and not had to be serious. *sigh* God bless, Galadriel

Queen Galadriel · 12 April 2006 · Chapter 7: Rumors

Too close for comfort! Elanor, do I want to know what that implies? It makes my stomach turn. Please tell me it isn't...No, surely not. God bless, Galadriel

Queen Galadriel · 12 April 2006 · Chapter 5: Bag End

Oh, I was delighted to find this feast of delight in my inbox--and I can assure you I do not exaggerate! Wow, you've been going at it! :) Awwww.... How delightful for Frodo to find a furry friend! :) LOL! Merry knows how to get a laugh, doesn't he? LOL! That's hysterical! God bless, Galadriel

Hello again, and sorry about that email. I hit a key and it went off before I finished it. I love this story of yours and I'm looking forward to reading more! Happy Typing! esamen

"The whole room grows quiet as I read it to myself. Then I look up. "She's giving me Bag End." Wow! that was an awesome scene! I can't get over how well you write. The suspense was great and Frodo's line there is perfect. The whole thing is really, really good. You have a talent for dialogue. I am looking forward to all your next chapters! Well, I started writing ago when I was young, and I took some creative writing classes in college, but then I had a long period of working and raising family, and I have just now come back to writing. I came back by writing the fic that's posted here at SoA. Then I got an idea for a novel of my own, and wrote it. It's Christian fiction and it's not a romance, though, and I couldn't find a traditional agent and publisher. It's about an orphaned fourteen-year-old boy growing up, and it's set in 1934 in a unique Czech community in my home town. I just couldn't find anyone who thought it fit their market. So I looked around for a self-publishing place, and I am publishing it myself. But I am working on a second novel now that I think will be more saleable. So I'm going to give the traditional-publishing thing another try.

I liked Frodo's thoughts on becoming Mayor and how difficult that might be for him. It must have been hard to do anything normal for quite some time for any of them.

GoldBerry Apple Blossom · 11 April 2006 · Chapter 4: The Message

I really like this one Ellie! This part in the book was one of my favorites , and I loved reading your verion of the 'scowering of the Shire'. God Bless, Happy resurrection Sunday! Namarie mellen nin. Goldie ^_^ it comes in pints!

Queen Galadriel · 11 April 2006 · Chapter 4: The Message

Poor Frodo. I'd be freaking out if I had the job of deputy Mayor to look forward to, but I'm so glad he has all his friends to stand behind him. Poor old Lobelia, if only she'd had more time to live the life she'd missed for so long. But at least she knew some good before the end. A lovely chapter, Ellie! God bless, Galadriel

Arwen of Lorien · 11 April 2006 · Chapter 4: The Message

AAwww! How nice of her! Hmhm. (Hey, this story sounds like Teenpac might of got you into some of it?) Yah! Is Aragorn gonna pay a visit soon? Can't wait! God bless ~Arwen

Arwen of Lorien · 10 April 2006 · Chapter 3: Deputy Mayor

Hmm, I can see how after all Frodo has been through that the Shire could very possibly no longer feel like a peaceful home to him. *sniffle* Oh no, I smell an incident in the making with this whole deputy mayor idea, what will happen with Frodo El?? Will it be bad?? :Z Sam will be there to rescue him if somthing does go wrong right? Great story! C U later! God Bless ~Arwen

Larner · 10 April 2006 · Chapter 3: Deputy Mayor

Aha--someone else is at last trying themes with Frodo as deputy Mayor. Am interested in seeing how you handle it. And I appreciate Sam's ability to help Frodo better understand typical Shire logic.

harrowcat · 10 April 2006 · Chapter 3: Deputy Mayor

This is great Elanor. There is so much truth in the idea that people ignore greater disasters because they can only cope with so much. If it affects you closely and personally then you have to deal with it. Other things may be of passing interest but don't affect our everyday life.

Grey Wonderer · 10 April 2006 · Chapter 3: Deputy Mayor

Poor Frodo! He simply can't get past his dark thoughts of guilt no matter what others think of him. I am looking forward to more of this.

Grey Wonderer · 10 April 2006 · Chapter 2: The Lockholes

Seems in all his time in the Lockholes Freddy didn't lose his sense of humor completely. I felt so sorry for Lobelia in this. She was never a nice hobbit but she had lost so very much in it all.
