Thinking of You  by Grey Wonderer 107 Review(s)

As the oldest of the hobbits, its good to see Frodo coming up with all the ideas for helping Pip. Although he must be exhausted with all that fire building and I'm glad he has that tea, because he's going to get an awfully sore throat with all that reading aloud. ;)

I'm continuing to enjoy this story very much.

Look out, Frodo! Who knows what that kid might be doing in there, albiet without a memory.

You're going to update again soon, right?

Author Reply: Yes I plan to do that if the holidays don't keep me running! I am also taking your advice and leaving the pop off for now. Think I may have over-reacted on that a bit.

Poor, Pippin. I hope he gets better soon. At least insofar as to stop vomiting. That's no fun; no fun at all.

Author Reply: I know. That was one of the things that I felt some people might not want to read. I, sometimes have a weak stomach and things like what I was writing will sometimes make me a bit ill. LOL Also, it is a depressing chapter.

Poor hobbits. I feel sorry for absolutely everyone here. I don't know who I want to comfort first!

Great storytelling. I'm looking forward to more.

Excellent chapter. Poor Pip. I think you're writing this very well, again I hope you continue soon.

Oh, poor Pippin!! *huggles the poor hobbit* I feel really badly for him, and for Frodo and Merry. *huggles Merry* What a situation you have created. I can't wait to see more.

Author Reply: Thank you. Stick around and see if I can write myself out of this one in fewer chapters than I was able to in my last long fiction. LOL So far, the little Yule story is the only one I seem to be able to keep short!

Well Done! This is definately an angst filled story! Right now, I'm not sure I feel more sorry for, Pippin or Merry! I see you are amoung those who have chosen an unloving Paladin, those of us who haven't seem to be in the minority. LOL

Author Reply: I find that my impression of Paladin started to develope from reading the fan fics that you are thinking about. I had never given much thought to him or how he was as a father before I started visiting the sites and reading the stories. I use it mainly because it serves to keep Pippin with Frodo and Merry and makes my story less complex to write in terms of characters. Also the hobbits really do lead a charmed life in the Shire so it adds a bit of drama. Glad you are enjoying the story.

A very well written tale that carries me along. I'm not a fan of Pippin centric fic but I shall be watching out for updates on this one. Pippin's agitation on waking is heartbreaking. And I love your outwardly calm Frodo.

Author Reply: Thank you so much for the kind words. I am glad that I managed to convey Pippin's state properly. I was a bit worried about that part. I always think of Frodo as the voice of reason among the hobbits and the one that gives the most thought to his actions.

Yikes! What kind of a father Paladin is! How could he do that to his own son? The least he could have done was get over to Pippin without telling anyone where he was going!

Never thought of Pippin this way. Great job!

Author Reply: I wanted Pippin at Bag End with Frodo and Sam and Merry and so I decided to use this plot device. May be just a bit too much? In my other story I indicated that Paladin was not a very good father and so I continued on that line here. Suggestions are welcome. Let me know if this seems like a bad way to go with things. I have a plan but I am open to suggestions. Thanks for reading.

Sam's like me in this instance. I don't understand why my brother and father spoil the three year old! Why? Why? Why? Don't they know, like Sam seems to, that when they're that young they need to be corrected when they're wrong, not taught to do it again?! AGH!!

Anyway, sorry I haven't been around to review earlier, but things have been hectic. :) Keep up the good work, and I will be back to read more.

Author Reply: Spoken like someone who knows a bit about small children. Are you telling me you don't do any of the spoiling? He must be able to get to you as well. LOLHope the hectic part means that you are writing more stories. Keep reading because at some point on this one I know I will need advice.
