| What a fun story! I really enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to the follow-ups. More little Frodo and Sam fun to come, hopefully! :-) Author Reply: Hobbity fun is my favorite thing. I never dreamed that "Quarantined" would spawn so many sequels! Thank you so much for your reviews, and I hope you continue to enjoy the tales. :) | |

| Dear shirebound, I've had a need to escape the vagaries of so-called "real life" and immediately thought of your sweet and gentle stories. So now I'm doing a re-read of all I can find on any archive that I know about, and thoroughly enjoying being reunited with your lovely vision of the loving friendships between Frodo and Bilbo, Gandalf, Aragorn and Samwise (and all of the other characters that you write so well). Truthfully, when I'm immersed in your tales, like QUARANTINE, I feel like I've finally FOUND the real world, and I love being there. Thank you so much for blessing us with these stories. Well done! Author Reply: What a pleasure to hear from you, my friend! I'm so happy that my gentle stories bring you pleasure, escape, and renewed joy in our sweet hobbits. I'm so happy you let me know you're still enjoying these tales, especially my beloved Quarantined universe. (((YOU))) | |

| Lovely. I would like to see a follow up during WOTR or post, though. Author Reply: Thank you. This story is very special to me, and I'm so happy it's still being discovered and enjoyed. "By Chance or Purpose" is the only sequel that at least gets us to Rivendell. :) Author Reply: I'm just poking my head in to let you know that my latest story (in progress), "The Rings of Evendim", is a "Quarantined" sequel that takes place post-War of the Ring. :) | |

| i am so glad you let frodo and aragorn share such touching moments in time, and even more i like the gift you have formulated to let gandalf give them both the most precious of gifts. their parents faces. thank you for choosing to write fanfic and thank god you choose tolkien. bless. n. Author Reply: Thank you, Nancylea. I really appreciate your kind words. This story meant a lot to me, and I'm thrilled others enjoy reading it. I think Frodo, Aragorn, and Gandalf would have so much to teach -- and learn from -- one another. | |

| This story was just wonderful, shirebound! I went to your website and printed out a bunch of your stories to read as time allows, and this was the first one I read. Your story is so full of heart-felt emotion, and I adore your stress on the importance of love. For a story that is AU, it certainly stays true to canon and to Tolkien! I love your portrayal of Frodo and Bilbo's relationship, and the fledging friendship between Frodo and Aragorn. Beautifully done! Author Reply: Thank you so much, PipMer! "Quarantined" was and is very special to me. I was able to express a lot of things through this storyline that are straight from my heart and soul. I never dreamed, when I was writing it, that it would give birth to so many sequels, but I've enjoyed sharing every one of them. *hugs you* | |

| *sigh* Last chapter. Very lovingly and heartwarming. You did an amazing job, my dear. As I told you, I NEVER read a story like this before and I love Frodo and Bilbo together so very much. *sighs again* In every person - hobbits, Rangers, Ishtari - I can FEEL and SEE how lovingly YOU are. Thank you again for this amazing journey. I once read a quote: a single rose can be my garden, a single friend can be my world. You – sweetheart – are an important piece of my puzzle called life, and you are a wonderful piece in my little world. You know – I’ll always be shire-bound. Lots of love and kisses Julchen Author Reply: Dear one, I'm just thrilled you enjoyed this so much. This is the Bilbo, Frodo, and Aragorn I wish (and imagine) "could have/should have been". What a joy to share them with you. You are a very special friend, as well. *loves* | |

| Twin presents for Hobbit and Man, the brothers of the spirit that the two of them are; and Frodo's already strongly expressed gift of far-seeing. Bless them all, the three Hobbits, the Man, and the Wizard. Author Reply: And bless you for reading, Larner. What a joy to share our love for Middle-earth with others. | |

| What a wonderful tale. Thank you so much. I know it would lead to a very different telling of FOTR but I would love an extra chapter telling your version of Frodo and Aragorn meeting at Bree! Author Reply: Thanks, Harrowcat! And that story's been written! "Quarantined" has two sequels -- "Reflections of the Past", which takes place about a year later, and "By Chance or Purpose", which is the Bree-to-Rivendell story based on the "Quarantined" relationships. Enjoy! | |
