| Very nice! Very cute, coming from Bill. Author Reply: Thank you very much. Since Bill is very nice and very cute, I'm happy his tale came off the same. :) | |

| So fun! I love the voice! and I love the reference to Asfaloth speaking Elvish! On to the next chapter . . . no rolling of eyes yet :) Author Reply: The entire "accents" idea came from Bill who just would NOT use proper grammar, no matter how many times I told him to. Therefore, we suddenly have horses with different nationalities. :) I'm glad your eyes are remaining in place. ;) | |

| I've only had the chance to read Bill so far, but I found it pretty funny. :) Hey, though, if you're going so far as to do OC horses (Such as Frea), why not do Shadow or Silvermist? *Big Wicked Grin* Author Reply: If my memory serves me correctly, Silvermist is Eodreng's horse. Correct? I remember Shadow. That was the first time you killed a character I had gotten quite attached to. :) I would love to do them, but I would need your help with many of the details. It wouldn't do to contradict anything, now would it? :) *Big Agreeable Grin* Glad you enjoyed it! | |

| I just love the way you portray Bill. You bring up the points in the story that would have meaning to a simple country pony. 'Fearful beasts they were, and completely unsociable. I know, for I tried talkin’, but they only snorted at me in return.' (that is one of my favorite quotes right there) It is a very good idea having the different horses have different 'accents'. I look forward to more. Author Reply: Thank you! Since I consider myself just a bit of a redneck (if a refined one :) ), I got a lot of entertainment out of writing like that. :D It's very interesting to look at these things out of a horse's eyes. But it's also a trifle difficult, since I don't have all that much horse sense. :) Thanks again for the review! Hope you like the rest just as much. :) | |

| Bill is perfect! He sounds so like Sam! This is wonderful and I am so glad that you decided to do it. I love this line especially: Most unnatural he seemed to me, but that’s merely the opinion of an uneducated country pony, and I mustn’t say aught against Mr. Frodo, as he’s my Sam’s most favorite of hobbits. I bow to your brilliance! You have out-done yourself yet again! Author Reply: I'm glad. Don't worry, I don't use that much slang all the time and my Southern accent isn't that thick. :) But as I'm also a part-time Western writer, it wasn't too foreign, and actually rather fun to write. But the spell-check sure hated it. :D Thank you. You may rise. :) | |

| Hmm, an interesting idea this. I think you should do Tom Bombadil's pony, Fatty Lumpkin. Might be interesting to hear from the pony of Tom Bombadil. Author Reply: OK, sorry it has taken me so long to answer this, but I needed to do a little research on Fatty Lumpkin. It had been so long since I looked at that part of the book that I had forgotten about him completely. But Tom Bombadil is, I believe, a little out of my range. So I don't think I'll be able to do Fatty. But then . . . that's what I told Grey Wonderer when she asked me if I could do this story. :) So my saying "no" isn't a guarantee. Thanks for the review! I live of feed-back. :) | |
