| Hello Lindelea! I have never read anything from Bill's point of view before. The concept initially sounded interesting, and reading your prologue has only made me more interested. I really enjoyed it; particularly the very 'horsey' way of thinking, and the developing feeling of kinship with Sam. I don't read particularly fast because of other commitments, but I will try to follow this story as an 11th walker. ;-) Thank you for such an unusual and interesting read. Istarnië Author Reply: Hello! Am glad you're joining the walk. Thanks for taking the time to drop a note! | |

| Yes, they will be fortunate; but they are now not so far from Glorfindel's aid, which they need desperately! Soon! Love the thought of ponies counting to four and no further! Wise pony, this one. Author Reply: Yes, definitely! Noro lim, Asfaloth! (don't know if I misspoke just now; I typed that from memory. Perhaps I just ordered oysters on the half shell...) Got to go tuck littles into bed now, or I'd say more. Am weary and wandering (i.e. longwinded) tonight). | |

| I'm so happy that you have continued Bill's story. I thinks it's wonderful that he has come to think of the hobbits as his. Author Reply: Thanks! I've known a pony that followed "his" family around like a great big shaggy dog... | |

| I'm glad to see this updated - and I just love Bill's method of counting! (It reminds me of Tery Pratchett's character Detritus the Troll: one, two, many, lots Jay Author Reply: Detritus the Troll... what movie was that? (Great name for a troll) Y'know, I've seen enough people counting fingers, I figure Bill might count *something*. Hoofs, perhaps. We had a dog that could count, once. You put so many treats in her bowl... she'd wait until there were the exact number, and no fewer, before she'd stop nudging for more. Thanks! | |

| Seemless weaving of Tolkien and Lindelea! Poor Bill, hard climbing to come if I remember the route correctly! Author Reply: Thanks! And yes, you do remember correctly. | |

| Just found this story- I really like it! Unique perspective, and I love how you wove in the quotations, they fit in seamlessly. Author Reply: Glad to have you along for the journey! Thanks! | |

| Oh poor Bill! I love his counting by his feet, LOL! Of course, they are now "his" poor hobbits! He seems to be a rather possessive pony! I love the way the others are taking such good care of Frodo, and Bill's noticing it. Pretty soon--stone-trolls and an Elf and Asfaloth! You know, I was rereading a bit of this yesterday, and wishing for an update! Author Reply: Well, we aim to please! Glad the Muse got your wish. (Must be telepathy.) Bill is definitely possessive of those who rescued him out of his awful situation; he's not going to let them get away, at least, not easily. *sigh* How I wish I could be at the Moot! | |

| Ohhh, sweet patient, dear Bill. He's as sturdy and resilient as his companions. Author Reply: Yes, he's (I think this is the right term) a brick! | |

| Oh.My.Gawd. I LOVE THIS!!! You are absolutely BRILLIANT Lindelea! I'm so in love with this story and Bill the Pony and... and.... squeeee! :) Poor Pip is now Marsh-and-Mischief! LOL love it! And I think my FAVORITE thing is this: Still, I follow as best I can, and such is the power of the song that images form before my eyes and dance in my imagination. You smile—imagination! In a pony! But I assure you, ponies have wonderful imagination. Too wonderful, sometimes, transforming a blowing bedsheet into a ravening monster... Do you work with horses or just study really well? I've seen a horse training video and they talk about how horses can freak out at "billowing sheets" (Or in this case, the flapping tarp on a truck), so when I read that, it really struck true with me. OMG this is AWESOME! More more more!! :) Author Reply: I was a horse freak all my life, until I got a horse. LOL! Found out the hard way, but learned an awful lot about horse quirks and horse training! Not able to ride anymore (knees are shot) but miss that feeling of being one with the horse. *sigh* Lovely, floating, flying feeling. And horses certainly have personalities of their own... Thanks! With such encouragement I ought to be able to convince the Muse to smile a bit more often. | |
