Actually, it kind of is...

It has to be...if the One Ring falls into the wrong hands...

PSW · 9 November 2015 · Chapter 8: Sweet is the Sound of the Falling Rain

I'm just loving your hobbit stories. :-) It's nice to get a look at Frodo without the responsibility of the Ring pressing on him -- what they must have all been like before. Fun story, thanks!

Wow - Lobelia, so she could have been. I can even hear her taffeta dress rustling (I'm sure she's dressed in it for this special occasion) :-) I'm glad Sam will stay here. The last line made me laugh, Sam is soooo lovely, isn't he? Thank you again, Janet - you made my afternoon! I'll be back soon.

julchen11 · 1 June 2007 · Chapter 2: Bilbo's Heir

Mmmmmm… this is going to be my favourite story. Again you PAINTED with words, my dear. Breakfast at Bag End, our beloved hobbits around. I fell like sitting in a corner and simply watching them, listening to them, listening to you. I’m with Frodo “I have good friends, Bilbo,” Frodo whispered. “I don’t know what you could have in here that’s any better than that.” I Love my friend Shirebound a lot, Julchen

This is soooo lovely, Janet. Poor Frodo, here alone at Bag End. But it’s a peaceful silence you’ve created. I can face him so clearly… “You can face anything in Middle-earth, Bilbo, dragons and trolls and goblins --- but not saying goodbye to me. Because you love me. Thank you for loving me so much, Bilbo. I love you, too. And I’ll be all right.” Heartwarming and lovingly written, Shire. I’m looking forward to the next part. Thank you, Julchen

Awwww, that was so funny. I could see and hear Pip , LOL. Wonderful, truly wonderful. Thank you, Janet!

julchen11 · 13 May 2007 · Chapter 5: Speaking of Marriage

OH sweetie, that's so lovingly written. *sigh* Lovely Sam, lovely Frodo, lovely YOU!

julchen11 · 13 May 2007 · Chapter 4: Over Hill and Under Hill

“Frodo can’t imagine anyone acting like that, Mer,” said Pippin. “He’s too nice.” “Not to mention rich,” Merry grinned. “And good looking,” added Pippin. “Dangerous combination, that.” ... The next time anyone calls you ‘cracked’, just say you’re proud of it!” declared Pippin. “That’ll make ‘em even more confused, and maybe they’ll stop saying it.” “Good idea, Pip,” mused Frodo. “I think I might just do that.” I LOVE THIS! I'm glad Frodo isn't alone, Merry and Pip are sooo hobbit and sooo lovely. I can't stop smiling, little one. Thank YOU!

You made me smile all the time while reading this. It's soooo wonderful and funny. “Come on, Mr. Frodo --- I’ll show you where the kitchen is.” “That’s not funny, Sam.” This made me laugh! Thank you, little wordpainter - thank you again! *smiles*

julchen11 · 13 May 2007 · Chapter 2: Bilbo's Heir

Sorry, pushed the wrong button before ... This is sooooo lovely ... Bilbo always takes care of Frodo, even he isn't here any longer. Thank you, honey! I'm sure I'll love the next chapters very much.

julchen11 · 10 May 2007 · Chapter 1: Without a Word

This makes my heart ache... So many questions, Frodo 's feeling lonely. I'm too moved to write, Janet. What a story... I'm printing the next parts for tomorrow. Thank you, love. This makes me dream, Shire dreams ... Frodo dreams ... I'm so curious how this is going on but I have to WAIT *sigh* I'll come back, but you know this already :-) Love you, dear Julchen

Frodo Baggins · 1 November 2005 · Chapter 8: Sweet is the Sound of the Falling Rain

My dear Shirebound, I LOVE the way you portrayed Frodo's relationship with his cousins. Sam's courage at the end was very funny!! "and Pippin falling off the table in amazement." That's good....drunk Pip fallin off a table! This whole story was wonderful!! Great ending!! Namarie, mellon nin! GOd Bless, Frodo Baggins

Frodo Baggins · 1 November 2005 · Chapter 3: Family Ties

Oh my goodness! Shirebound!! You have me rolling with laughter!! I love the thought that Frodo "can't" cook!! It sounds just like me!! I can make....uh, burnt ground beef adn a black quesadilla!! I am immensly enjoying this story! "Come on Mr. Frodo---I'll show you where the kitchen is." "That's not funny, Sam." That one really had me laughing!! Poor Frodo, getting teased by his cousins adn friends.....Namarie! God bless, Frodo Baggins

I didn't think Sam had it in him, either! :-) Very Good! (applause!) Heading back to the library... PF

PIppinfan1988 · 30 January 2004 · Chapter 7: A Shower of Stars

Pretty good; the ring was a nice touch! PF

PIppinfan1988 · 27 January 2004 · Chapter 6: Borgin One-Hand

I really like this story--seems you're filling in on PJ's nooks and crannies! Very much needed! Pippinfan

PIppinfan1988 · 26 January 2004 · Chapter 5: Speaking of Marriage

Oy...I'm too tired to read anymore! But this is really good! I do love your stories...and your hobbits! You are on my favorites and alers. Be back tomorrow...same Shire-time, same Shire-channel! :-P Pippinfan

PIppinfan1988 · 26 January 2004 · Chapter 3: Family Ties

Oh my gosh...that was hilarious! Frodo wanting to wipe off his cheek and take a bath after Lobelia kissed him! :-D I like the part in the book where Merry answers the door, tries to tell Lobelia and Lotho that Frodo is indisposed...then leaves them in the hallway--for a long time! Good stuff, shirebound! Pippinfan

PIppinfan1988 · 26 January 2004 · Chapter 2: Bilbo's Heir

Oops! Hit this button by accident...but while I'm here!... Very nice and easy going...I always love your hobbits! I also like reading their banter between each other! On to the next chapter... Pippinfan

PIppinfan1988 · 26 January 2004 · Chapter 1: Without a Word

Hello Shirebound! I found my way over to Stories Of Arda, too, though you found your way a lot sooner than I. I believe I already read this chapter at ff.net, but I thought I'd review anyway! :-) Pippinfan

paranoidangel · 7 October 2003 · Chapter 8: Sweet is the Sound of the Falling Rain

I'm still laughing at Pippin and the cakes. I read the first chapter ages ago on ff.net, so I'm very glad to discover it finished. It was a very interesting account of what the hobbits did between Bilbo leaving and Frodo leaving in the movie-verse.
