For Love of Frodo and Sam  by shirebound 17 Review(s)
PSWReviewed Chapter: 1 on 11/10/2015
I loved the one about Bill! I love how seriously all the big folk take the hobbits -- and especially Sam, given that he's not only a hobbit but (technically) a servant. Some people might barely notice him at all, but of course not Legolas and Aragorn ... :-)

I also liked the 'practice proposal' at the end ... :-P

Author Reply: You're really taking me back in time, and helping me to re-live these tales all over again. It's such a pleasure to know that you're reading and enjoying these.

Wow, so cute! At the last one I was like, "ack, what?!" then it was for Rosie, and I got happy because I love Sam/Rosie! I hate Sam/Frodo, though....

Author Reply: That last one was my first attempt at 'misdirection', which I've enjoyed experimenting with over the years. I'm pleased you enjoyed these!

Hello Shirebound,

What a little basket of joyful surpises this was.

From Merry's childhood treasure to Bilbo's tweenage treasure, Bill the Pony's place in his new family (reminds me somehow of Frodo's acceptance by the Elves in your story I reviewed prior to this - but perhaps I'm being fanciful), the honouring of the Ringbearers on Cormallen, and lastly (but not least) dear Sam's nervous preparations for the Big Proposal -all absolutely delighful.

Great work!

Author Reply: Oh my, thank you so much. These are VERY early pieces of mine (probably 2003), and it's fun to be reminded of them. How I love hobbits.

It's been a time since I read this one.

I needed something light and loving today to help me deal with the sore throat and pounding head. Thanks!


Author Reply: "Light and loving" -- my favorite things! I'm so glad to contribute something to help distract you from feeling ill. I hope you're feeling much better soon, dear Larner.

Just going through some of your earlier works. I've read the one where Sam practices proposing before, but I didn't remember the rest.

But the image of Frodo's Light shining before all as he was seated on Aragorn's own throne of turves is one that moves my heart immensely.

Author Reply: I'm so thrilled that the older stories are still being discovered and enjoyed. Thank you so much.

My favourite is the second one! And the Ten Walkers is cute too! I must tell you, Shirebound, that I read these before, all but the last. I just freaked out at the last one and didn't make it through (I know--CHICKEN!), because slash just makes my stomach turn and puts me in a pretty awful mood. But I thought afterward, "Wait a minute! SOA doesn't allow that stuff! And I don't believe Shirebound would do it anyway!" So I went back and finished, and the relief mingled with the comedy of it just about brought me to the floor with laughter! *grin* Very clever!
God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: Yes, that last one is tricksy! I'm not very good at misdirection, but this one actually worked. Thank you for reading!

:D

I loved them! Especially the last one. For a second there I went, omg... Shirebounds writing slash?

Author Reply: Thank you! I enjoyed writing these, and that last one was a lot of fun.

Still giggling! This was so heartwarming. Keep up the good work!

Author Reply: Thanks, Armariel! I can't seem to stop writing about our hobbits, even when it's just tiny scenes like these. Glad to make you giggle!

This are amazing! I've never read a few of these and I have to say that I *love* the last one. Wonderful work, as always. :)

(I tried to leave you a review at ff.net, but I don't think it went through. If it did, then sorry about the duplicate.)

Author Reply: Thanks, Leah Beth! I seem to have an infinite number of teensy hobbity ficlets inside me, trying to get out. I'm so happy you're enjoying them.

I think that I've just died and gone to heaven. I only remember two of these, and the rest are just lovely! Thanks for posting them here!

Author Reply: Awwww... thank *you*!

:)
