| 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. | |

| I am SO loving this story! Talk about Horse Sense! ROFLOL! I love your characterzation of Bill.. such a pragmatic pony! I love him! And I'm SO looking forward to the rest of the story! Some of my fave Bill-isms: his misery not his master don't judge a book by its cover (horses read? LOL) I like how you covered that: him eating the book in the field! LOL Young Apples-and-Mischief: PERFECT for Pip! LOVE it! :) OK.. off to read more! :) Author Reply: LOL! It is fun to try to see through a pony's eyes... (smell through a pony's nose? hear through a pony's ears?) Author Reply: p.s. thanks! | |

| I can tell I'm really going to like this story, Lindelea! I've been meaning to read it for a while now, but sadly pushed it off... until now. I can't wait to play Catch Up! :) Dayna Author Reply: Well, thanks! Glad to hear from you! | |

| Reviewing two chapters here. What with school and such I didn't realize I'd missed ch. 12. I love Bill's observations about how the Hobbits' moods have changed. He's very perceptive. :) And his determination to conquer his own fear/weariness and not let Frodo fall no matter what is so sweet. *hugs Bill* :) God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: And of course with chapters coming so far apart, it's easy to miss one. (BTDT) *Bill rubs his jaw along Queen Galadriel's shoulder, making her giggle at the tickling sensation of his whiskers on her neck* | |

| Oh yes, medicinal plants are often very pungent - poor Bill will be tasting it for days! He is such a brave and faithful pony, and a very perceptive one. I'm eager to see his reaction to Asfaloth. Author Reply: LOL, I'll have to put that in, about him tasting athelas for days! Asfaloth... ought to be interesting. Thanks! | |

| Lin, this is so wonderfully atmospheric! Poor Bill, poor hobbits, poor Strider! I can just imagine the fear and wariness as you've described it. I do look forward, though to Bill meeting Asfaloth! Author Reply: Ah, yes, a pony's impressions would be atmospheric, wouldn't they! Much more sound, smell, feel, and taste-driven than couched in mere words. Ah, yes, Asfaloth! I wonder if he's ever made the acquaintance of a Bree-pony before? | |

| ‘Sorry, old fellow. There’ll be sweet, long grass where we’re going. Think on that, and keep your spirits up, for we’re counting on you, you know.’ Ohhh, I can't wait for us to reach that sweet, long grass, and neither can Bill. :) Author Reply: Y'know, I wrote Bill's introduction to Rivendell more than a year ago, and it's still sitting on my hard drive. I am so looking forward to getting there! | |
