In true hobbit fashion, I celebrate my birthday by writing people stories, according to prompts that they give out. An author's experience is so much less without people who are kind enough to read and review her work, so I appreciate the opportunity to give as much as I can back to them.  This year the number of prompts was small, and I may not have had time to do them justice, but I'm quite pleased that I was able to get them all out in time for my fandom-birthday!
