| Gollum perhaps? Or a grindlylow? (Have I been thinking too much of Harry Potter, I wonder?) Now, will the Men find the opening and be able to pursue him? | |

| Ewww! Your descriptions are so realalistic(did I spell that wrong?) I loved the ones about the Hobbits bones, I got a real visual with that one 'come to think of it this whole chapter was very visual! | |

| p.s. forgot to say I loved this: Seeing the frightened face tilted back to look up at him, the wizard gently tugged Pippin’s hair in apology. Your characterizations are so deft! Your characters say and do just what I'd think they would. The fact that the pipe still had glowing coals underlines how quickly disaster struck. Whew! | |

| Ok... I was wondering if we'd hear from Frodo, or if we'd simply share the viewpoint of those searching for him. The answer came in the last seconds... though, as I expected, not much of an answer. Hmmm. So much fun to speculate. Who? What? Why? Where? (reminds me of seeing a Stephen King interview, have I ever told you about that? He talked about this story he'd never been able to write, not yet, anyhow. Someone goes into a ladies' room at an airport. A long time later, her husband asks another woman to check on her, to see if she's ok. Neither come out. The husband asks airport security. A female security guard goes in. She never comes out. He said he hadn't figured out where to take the story from there...) Anyhow, it sounds as if you have this firmly in hand. Fastening seat belt and getting ready for the ride. | |

| O hurrah, a Budgielover story I've not seen before! You have some gorgeous descriptions and turns of phrase, as always. I particularly liked this one: stone-sewn landscape My goodness! No vegetation, no life in the lake... I should think a Ranger would be more cautious. Augh! Something's taken Frodo! (Shades of the garbage chute monster in the original Star Wars movie... I first began to feel its stirrings when Pippin went after something moving and came up with a stick. "There's something alive in here...!" "Nonsense, kid, it's your imagination...") Looking forward to more! (Hurrah for time for reading!) | |

| Oh, no! You can't leave them under the water! Where has Frodo gone? He can't still be under there or he'll be dead! *catching breath* The discussion between Boromir and Aragorn of the Hobbits' "secret language" had me laughing. I never thought of that consciously, and at first I was just as baffled as Aragorn. As usual, I love your characterizations, and I cannot wait to see more of this!!! God bless, Galadriel | |

| An onimous beginning for a very onimous setting ... and the Frodo angst begins in chapter ONE!!!! Love it already, Budgie! It's great you're back and writing again! ~Elemmírë~ p.s. I'm very nearly inclined to agree with Eiluj about there being two groups in Middle-earth ...those whom Budgielover has incited to kidnap Frodo Baggins, and those who haven’t -- yet I must add a third group, however, those who love and care for Frodo dearly and wuld sacrifice anything to protect him. :) Author Reply: And I agree with both of you, Elemmírë. As the writer, I have the enviable position of belonging to all three groups. All this shifting back and forth between mental viewpoints ... my goodness, that explains a lot about my choice of story lines, doesn't it? :D | |

| Oh good another story by you, I love your stories, and look you have already lost a hobbit. Very careless of you. But at least everyone is getting wet, except Gilmi, who is a very smart dwarf. Author Reply: Hullo, Grumpy! Yes, this story started off faster than I usually do - Frodo being lost/kidnapped/taken in the first chapter. I usually prefer to have more characterization and humor (a.k.a 'relax the reader') before WHAM! But this one just wouldn't wait... heh heh heh | |

| Alright! what have you done with Frodo?,you better cough him up right now or else!LOL. Good start to the story will be waiting unpatiently for more! Author Reply: Hi, Elflingimp! How have you been? Funny you should choose the phraseology 'cough up'... Yes, funny indeed... *grins* | |

| What a treat to find a new story from you and what an exciting start ! Author Reply: Greetings, Linda! Thank you, and I hope you find the rest of the story equally exciting. This is going to be a fun one ... for me, anyway. Frodo may beg to differ... *grins* | |
