Finally, Pippin realizes how he feels for Diamond! This proves how drastic he can be, having to go all the way to Rohan to figure it out :P I sure hope to see another chapter soon! I know you said you have a case of writer's block, EEK! That's not good. I have nothing for you right now, but I'm gonna email you today...hopefully...lol. Talk to you later, Kate!

That was so neat the way you had Legolas' and Gimli's Dad's talking to each other in a civil manner! I guess if your kids are friends it is hard to avoid each other for too long! It seems like Gimli helped more then he may realize in getting Pippin to realize his feelings for Diamond! I can't wait to find out what happened!

So it took a dwarf and an elf to make Pippin see the light. I like that you included Gloin and Thranduil and that you have them getting along (though Gloin still brings up his imprisonment at need lol!).

Diamond's always been an elusive character, not much is mentioned about her at all. It's good you've given them some things in common that they can talk about, to bring them together as they help each other out.

This is a great story. I can't wait to read more.

Author Reply: Thanks for your review! I'm so glad Gloin and Thranduil went down well. I was quite hesitant about using them, especially Thranduil. I'm not so good with elves :P

Hopefully will have a new chapter out soon. I have no idea how long this story is going to run for!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
I'm so pleased! He's finally cottoned on!!!
I think you made the right decision to put the two chapters in that order, it kind of made more sense.
Am still loving the story, and can't wait for more!
Love Rosy

Author Reply: He's not always so smart, that Pippin, lol. Now he just has to work out the right way to tell those feelings to Diamond, and considering how long it took him to realise them, it's not going to be so easy!

Originally, Pippin was going to come home at the end of "Living Without Pippin", which was why it was going to be chapter 8, but then it ended up being longer than I expected.

Loved Pippin greeting Gimli and his embarrassment when he realized he was speaking to the King of Mirkwood. Another good chapter.

Author Reply: I'm glad you liked these two chapters, GW. You should know by now that I'm a HUGE self-promotor. Anywhere I can refer to one of my other stories, I will :P I hope that Gloin and Thranduil went down well. It's the first time I've used them, and I wasn't so sure about Thranduil :P

Whoever said elves and dwarves can't give romantic advice! I can't wait to see Pippin actually setting out to court Diamond. Feeling spoiled being able to read two chapters of this lovely story in as many days.

Author Reply: Everyone seems to think the elves are rather good at it, but I don't see why Gimli wouldn't be! He *is* rather infatuated with Galadriel after all!

I was writing these last two chapters at the same time - because I wasn't sure which order to put them in. I will *try* to get the next chapter out ASAP!
