Very clever! And I love Esme's confidence, and the ending is great!
God bless,
Galadriel

This was awesome! Brilliantly done. :-) I have often wondered how Merry and Pippin's families handled thier disappearance--knowing how much the lads were loved. I know JRRT indicated they were given up for dead, but still...my imagination wonders about the struggles of the parents. Excellent.

Author Reply: You know, this was just a silly little challenge, but it somehow came out more serious than I intended. Isn't that often the way? Poor Sara and Esme, Paladin and Tina, and the Gaffer, all worried sick about their lads...not knowing.

Our lads are back! Huzzah!

This was a wonderful response to the challenge. What those poor parents must have gone through, not knowing where in the world (literally) their sons were and if they were all right. I'm sure many parents in such situations think the same as Paladin, that their son or daughter is dead. It must make it a bit easier to handle in some ways. However, it is those that keep hope alive that show true strength.




Author Reply: *grin* I had almost forgotten this little challenge! It had some nice responses on the group. Marigold and Piplover wrote especially nice ones.

It had to have been so hard on all of them--not only their sons missing, but all the dire happenings in the Shire as well.

Some how I tend to miss some of your stories and then I come back and there are a lot of them to read! It is a pleaseant surprise I just wish I wasn't so busy that I missed so many at a time! Anyway, hopefully I can get caught up on some of your stories before the weekend runs out!

I like the way you used only dialoge, it worked to convey Esmeralda's feelings very nicely! How difficult to live not knowing what has happened. It ended on such a hopeful note though, nicely done!

Author Reply: This was a fun one to do, trying to get those first letters to come out right. I am glad that it made sense as well.

Excellent fill-in!

Author Reply: Thanks. It was a very strange challenge.

Now that was very good! I don't think I could have done that in a million years. I am amazed at hoe it fit together and still followed the challenge.

Author Reply: Thanks! If you're not on the PippinHealers list, you might want to check out what Marigold, Llinos, and Piplover came up with. I think they're brilliant!

Amazing! You rose to the challenge magnificently!

Author Reply: Thanks! It wasn't too hard as I started out, but got more difficult as I went. A few others have done the challenge, and I hope some of them post their stories here as well. Marigold's was terrific!
