Glad others are also exploring this time. And explaining to the Gaffer would indeed be difficult.

Author Reply: This is a rather difficult time to write about, but I've really enjoyed it!
God bless,

A very promising beginning. I like your look at the scouring.

Hello again -- yes, I posted a fic here. It's under my SoA name esamen and it's titled Boromir in Rivendell. Not a real catchy title! But a lot of people liked it, if I say so myself. Classic Fellowship-in-Rivendell stuff.
I'm working on writing and publishing also. Writing is great; publishing is tough! I finally self-published my first novel. I will try to sell my second one, though, when it's finished.
Best wishes with your writing and with your future plans. Happy typing!


Author Reply: OOooh! Cool! What is the name of your book? What is it about? Was it hard to self publish? I was thinking of doing that as soon as I'd saved enough money for a copywrite. I think I shall go put your story on my list so that I can read it. Namarie,
Ellie

Oooo! I love it, Ellie! Of course going through all that together would make Sam and Frodo closer than ever, and I don't think Sam would worry about "ordering Mr. Frodo about," as can be seen in mystories. :) And you capture the surprise and wonder and confusion of the other hobbits excellently. Good, Merry and Pip, cheer him up. Please update soon!
God bless,
Galadriel

Oh wonderful, Ellie! I loved this! It's so sad! I love your Frodo. He's so book cannon. :) Keep writing and I'll keep reading! :)
God Bless,
Frodo B

Hello there Elanor S!

I am thrilled to read your new story. I'll have to go look up your other one now and read it too! You have really put this together very well. Nice work with the dialogue, the POV, and the characterization of each hobbit. I enjoyed the whole chapter and I look forward to the next one.
I am a big fan of Tolkien's books, having read them long ago, and I also love to write. So I look for fics that stay fairly close to LOTR canon and that are well written. This is very good! Are you a serious writer? that is, do you study the craft and have plans to write your own book someday? You should . . . you've got the talent. Please hurry back to your keyboard and post Chapter Two soon! I'll be watching for it!

Author Reply: Thank you very much!!! Have you written any fic's here? I don't recognise your name. Yes I am a serious writer, I've been writing stories since I was nine, and decided about a year later that I wanted to be a Young Adult Novelist. I've got ideas for exactly one hundred and twenty origional stories, though most are only paragraphs and not worthy of the title "Story" I am currently working on getting a story published, but the first company I tried turned it down. Oh well. Thank you very much for reviewing, and I hope you come back again!
God bless,
Ellie

Ooh this is a nice start Elanor. I am looking forward to more and love the way Sam is looking after Frodo and vice versa.

OH! I loved seeing Fro and the rest after everything has been settled.
It was a sad way to be welcomed home huh. And all the scars poor Frodo has.
But yes, he has great friends. It is a great turn around for Frodo and Sam and the 'better.' That was cute! So if this is a continuing story I wonder where it will go? Is it an inbetween for your other stories? I must go see what you said about it again.... Namarie! God bless ~Arwen

Author Reply: Why thank you, dear! Very sad indeed. Yes, this is a continuing story, and I suspect it will be VERY long, if I don't stop getting ideas (which hasn't happened yet) Thanks for reviewing!
Namarie, mellon nin!

Yes, the scouring is over and it's time to begin to relax and celebrate some.

Lovely moments here. And love the first assurance that Sam isn't just a servant any more. He's been recognized for his nobility by princes and kings, after all!

Author Reply: Thank you so much for reviewing! I am glad you like it! Sam is definately not a servant anymore, despite what other hobbits may think.
God bless,
Ellie
