| Aha! Frodo's memory at least is excellent, and he's called for the ally he needs at the moment. Love seeing this from Tom's point of view. Author Reply: Hello Larner, poor Frodo - given all the trouble his excellent memory will cause him post-Quest, it might not be such a good thing to have one - although it did come in handy to call old Tom! Glad you enjoyed & thanks for R & R-ing, M ;) | |

| Good ol' Tom! What a treat to have another series from you, my dear! I love the way you have described Frodo's growing stronger as he sang. I appreciate very much that you nominated 'Naked' but alas someone else beat you to it and your review (if you left one and I assume you did and I'm dying to know what you said) has been lost. Could I please beg the favor that you back to the MEFA site and look me up and leave another review? Le hannon! Namarie, God bless, Your cheeky, vain and flattered bloom :) Author Reply: Hello bloom, luckily, I hadn't reviewed yet - I usually read, nominate immediately, then review at my leisure when the nomination season is over ;) So no fears m'dear! Glad you enjoyed the drabble, Cousin M ;) | |

| Lucky for them old Tom was nearby! Yes, that's Tom's confidence, all right. I'm wondering about the other eight. I can come up with ten possibilities. Butterbur might lose out. You might not want to use both Glorfindel and Elrond; Arwen is a dark horse. Would you include both Celeborn and Galadriel? How many of the Rohan royals?; I suppose there are ways to fit them all in a single scene. And what about the eagles? I'm certain you'll include Faramir, but I don't expect to see his father. Or Imrahil, for that matter, though he gave Aragorn full support. I don't expect to see Halbarad either -- but I may be wrong in how I'm interpreting "allies." Hm -- would you perhaps consider Gollum an ally? Okay: my final nine: Tom, Butterbur, Glorfindel, Elrond, Celeborn-and/or-Galadriel, Éomer, Faramir, Éowyn, Gwaihir. Then you could do another nine: Gildor, Arwen, Haldir, Théoden, Denethor, Imrahil, Halbarad, Ioreth, Gollum. But that doesn't end well ... maybe move Arwen to the end (wedding scene). Author Reply: Hello eiluj, oh, don't you have a lot of possibilities! This review and your list made me grin hugely. You have many of those that will appear in 'Allies', but I won't spoil your fun by saying any more. Or perhaps I should say I won't spoil my fun by telling you - because I'm enjoying the guessing game! Glad you enjoyed Tom's drabble and thanks (very much) for R & R-ing - you really cheered me up before I went to work this morning! M ;) Author Reply: P.S. - Gollum definitely won't go down as an ally, but good try! *chuckles* M ;) | |

| It's great to read this scene from Tom's POV. I'm reading all your drabbles, although I haven't been able to review too much (tendinitis is limiting my typing). These are wonderful little scenes. Author Reply: Hello shirebound, tendonitis, eh? Ouch. You're quite right to take it easy with the typing - don't want to make it worse, m'dear :( It was a bit nerve-wracking writing a full drabble (hah! A measly one-hundred words) from Tom's pov because IMO he's so difficult to nail. Which is probably why I'll never write him into anything Take care of the wrist/hand/arm, and thanks for R & R-ing, M ;) | |
