| Hmmm...if I offer to proofread future chapters, will I get more chapters faster? *Ponders evil plan and decides it's worth a try* Author Reply: Thanks for the offer to proofread :) I've been trying to get a chapter a week posted here. I don't know if I can go any faster than that. I also post each chapter at my lj, http://www.livejournal.com/users/erpjirl/ a day or two before putting it up here for just that purpose, hoping that someone will catch any grammar, cannon, or sensical errors. Feel free to stop by there. | |

| I guess Farair got more then he really wanted when he asked Merry about smoking! I'm glad that Merry has been helping in all that he can, of course it doesn't seem like Merry would be one to sit about and to nothing. Are we going to get into a little Eowyn/Faramir romance? I always have found their relationship intriguing although I haven't read many fanfics on it. Looking forward to reading more! Author Reply: At the moment, I don't think this fic will touch on Eowyn/Faramir much if at all, but who knows. I didn't originally plan for Faramir to be in it at all, so anything is possible. | |

| I do so adore this story. Your characterizations are spot on, and easily evoke the pain these dear people are in. I look forward to more of the tale. Best, Pips Author Reply: Thanks Pips. I'm glad you're enjoying this. | |

| Auntiemeesh, This is a fantastic chapter. I've read very few fics with Faramir in them, and I like the way you've incorporated him into this story. His encounter with Merry can teach us all a lesson, I believe - that there is no shame whatsoever in accepting our limitations. Well done! Author Reply: Thanks, RogerGamgee, I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. I've never written Faramir before so I'm glad he came over well. | |

| I am really enjoying this story. Can't wait for more. I feel so bad for Merry at the end. | |

| Auntiemeesh, I truly enjoyed reading this chapter. Merry and Pippin carry on so about their 'height difference', even to this day. I doubt they'll ever resolve that issue...LOL. It was saddening to see Merry watching Pippin go, then feeling so useless. He must think no one cares much about him, since he's always being left behind. Keep up the excellent work! Author Reply: I usually stick pretty tight to book 'verse but the height difference thing is one movie element that seems to have stuck with me somehow, maybe because my sister and I have a running conversation that is very similar...lol. | |

| Stories with Merry and Pippin separating, at any point in the story, are some of my favorites and I find them to be the most touching. This separation, Pippin going off into sure battle always is more sad for me. You captured Merry jperfectly, feeling left behing again, and not knowing what to say. You expressed it wonderfully! Are you writing about Merry waiting in Minas Tirith or are you alternating between Merry and Pippin? I guess I will find out!Looking forward to more! Author Reply: I think this has to be one of the hardest separations of the entire quest for Merry because he knows Pippin is going into certain peril. I'm having fun exploring Merry's response to this :) | |

| This is great! Please write more soon. Author Reply: Thanks, I've got lots written. I just need to get it in shape for posting. That's what takes the longest ;) | |

| Please write more! Author Reply: Don't worry, there's plenty more written. It just needs a little fine-tuning before posting can happen. | |

| This looks like it's going to be very interesting. We get glimpses into how Merry spent his time while Pippin was off killing a troll, but so much is left for wonderful writers like you to bring to life! I'mn really looking forward to the rest of this, especially if Begil, Faramir and Eowyn will be making cameos! Did you reccommend it on the Quill and Inklings Yahoo group? If you did, I had been meaning to read it, so I'm glad you posted it here to remind me (gracious, I have the *worst* memory!). - Pervinca Author Reply: I posted an announcement a few days ago, begging for beta-reading...LOL. Being one's own beta-reader is NOT fun. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm hoping it doesn't take too long to make the next few chapters postable. :) | |
