I was just able to finsh this story! Thank you SO much for such a wonderful story about Frodo and his living with Bilbo! I couldn't beleive the S B's hurting Frodo, mentally and emotionally and the Lotho harming him physically! I don't think I would want to be on Bilbo's bad side! I definately enjoyed picturing him putting them in their place though. That was wonderful! I love how you developed the relationship between Frodo and the Gamgee family! That was so perfect! I love how you portray Sam! Sweet, little Sam, I'm glad that he is able to have such a good friend as Frodo! I especially like reading about the Yule time festivities, you wrote a lot of wonderful characters! I appreciate the way you wrote Merry and Pippin's families, is is always fun to see how people portray them and you did an excellen job! I liked how Pippin called Frodo "Pretty", that was cute! And where you actually got Pippin being his nickname was wonderful! Frodo sure is wonderful to not hold any grudges against Ted, and it was sweet of Sam to still be indignant on Frodo's part. I'm looking forward to more! Thank you so much for such a fun story!!

Yes, ff.n has loathed me almost since I registered as an author three years ago. I'm still trying to figure out why I've used that site all these years... perhaps I've somehow grown attached? Bad part is, virtually all stories are crap compared to three years ago *sighs nostalgically*

Author Reply: Well, I have a certain fondness for ff.net myself! Maybe because that was my first exposure to fan fiction.

Awww, I can't wait to see what happens next? I know it's on ff.n, but that site has never let me see either of the whole stories.

Author Reply: That’s awful that FF.Net keeps thwarting you! Crazy! Well, I’m glad you found me over here and can read the rest of the story. *crosses fingers that Stories of Arda won’t develop a grudge against either of us* Welcome back!

Poor Frodo! Although I do love to see him tortured at the hands of Daisy...

Merry! My favorite Hobbit! Hooray!

*Sigh* It is awful how few people review.

Yes, I do believe that I can stand the innocence. (This chapter wasn't bad at all. As long as you aviod the "He looked up with innocent eyes" and you know, the "he looked so vulnerable" stuff, you should be fine. ) Innocence is good, to a point.

I don't know if you'd be interested, but I'm doing a hobbit story myself. "When the Dwarf Came A-Visiting". It's from Pippins POV. Mostly Hobbity humor. :)

If you login and go to author, click on the chapters for the story (The number, not the title), it will show the chapters, and you will see how many hits you have. (That always encourages me!) Only about 1 out of every 20 people or so review. *Sigh*

Anyway, I simply loved seeing "Mad Baggins" reaction to the S-B's. Poor, poor, Lotho. *Gags* Lobiela really is deluded, isn't she?

*Jumps up and down* Daisy! Hooray! I like humor. :)

My only suggestion is that you don't need to put "please review" at the end of every chappie. People review if they are courteous and enjoy the story. I try to review every story I read, unless it's terrible and I can't think of anything to say.

Also, surely Frodo must have SOME faults. His perfection (and innocence) is almost sickening. He'd be more believable if you made him a little more human.

Anyway, please post the rest of the 29 chapters soon!!!!

Ahh, the anticipation! I can hardly wait for the next chappie, with Daisy! heehee. Oh, do update soon!

Goodie! I'd been hoping someone would write soemthing about the lasses that had crushes on Frodo. Bravo!

I liked how Frodo got Sam out from under the bed. Very humerous. Must read more! :)
