An Alphabet for Middle-earth by Dreamflower

This one gave me shivers. A good thing those lads had no idea - though they would have gone even if they had.
Author's reply
Yes, it was good, and yes--they would have. It would not be very long before they begin to understand, but right now they still don't quite realize what will be expected of them.

Those hobbits! Sam and Rosie raised their first born well :-)

They did, didn't they? *grin*

Our dear Pippin is indeed a ball of energy and a cup of good cheer! I also like to imagine that Pippin gained a lot of well-earned respect for his friendship with Boromir. I've enjoyed all three wonderful stories - now to await the rest of the alphabet. :-) PF
Author's reply
I am quite sure that he did--Boromir was beloved by the City, and knowing Pippin was his friend would make a huge impression. I hope all the prompts are going to inspire me! *crosses fingers!*
Queen Galadriel · 5 March 2007 · Chapter 3: C: Like Certain Circumstances in the Citadel
Oh, I love this! The men's conversation about Pippin, Pippin wearing Faramir's old livery, Pippin just being dear, sweet Pippin, the inclusion of Boromir--love it, love it! :) Beautifully done! God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
He is a "dear, sweet Pippin", isn't he?

Wow...and we know better regarding those two young hobbits. You write these sweet drabbles so very well! PF
Author's reply
Yes, and they are going to know better themselves before long, but right now they still don't quite understand all the danger yet...
PIppinfan1988 · 5 March 2007 · Chapter 1: A: Like an Antagonistic Arwen
I'm finally here! :-) You know...after reading this most lovely tale, I have a feeling (a good one!) that there is another story behind this one that is *screaming* to be told. *hint, hint!* ;-) PF
Author's reply
It's possible--I'll have to see if the bunny tells me any more...
Queen Galadriel · 4 March 2007 · Chapter 2: B: Like a Bathing Boromir
Oo, that's a bit chilling, because of course they did have to worry about it in the end. I love the titles you come up with! :) God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
Yes, I thought that might be a little ironical. I see this as being maybe just a day or so after the Council, before they really understood what was ahead of them, and how they would face the kind of dangers they would face. Actually, I can't take credit for the titles. Those are from the prompts, at the LJ Community there_n_back, which is posting one a day this month, in celebration of "Back to Middle-earth month".
Linda Hoyland · 4 March 2007 · Chapter 1: A: Like an Antagonistic Arwen
Very enjoyable,you write Arwen well. I'm trying this challenge too but very much doubt I can write something for each prompt.
Author's reply
Thank you! I don't believe I've written of her very often, so it's good to know you think I got her right. I'm going to give it a good shot--as long as the prompts don't get too outlandish, I may be able to get something for each one. *crosses fingers very tightly*
Frodo Baggins · 4 March 2007 · Chapter 1: A: Like an Antagonistic Arwen
Oh that was sweet! Oo! I would *not* want to get on the wrong side of Arwen Undomiel! LOL! Great story! Namarie, God Bless, Frodo Baggins
Author's reply
Heavens no! I think it would not be a good idea at all!
Queen Galadriel · 4 March 2007 · Chapter 1: A: Like an Antagonistic Arwen
Aaaawww! *melts* I absolutely love it, Dreamflower! Yes, I would not want Arwen angry with me. “She said she wanted you to be forgiven because her parents would wish it, and most of all, she said, because her Uncle Frodo would have wished it.” Haleth looked at the halfling maiden, as she came to stand before her. “I--I’m sorry…” Elanor smiled at her, and opened her arms in comfort. “That’s all right. You won’t do it any more.” Arwen watched as they embraced, the tiny hobbit lass patting the other girl comfortingly on the back. Haleth looked up once more, and was surprised to see a look of pride there now. Oh yes. Elanor is certainly her parents' daughter, through and through. :) And 'Uncle Frodo' would be proud of her, I think. :) God bless, Galadriel
Author's reply
No--one has to remember that Arwen is Galadriel's granddaughter, and probably learned everything she needed to know about the uses of righteous anger at her grandmother's knee! And I cannot imagine Elanor growing up to be anything less than a sweet, forgiving, and lovely person, with the example she had before her.
