Reviews of Upon the Wings of an Eagle

Baggins Babe · 17 July 2005 · Chapter 1

I just had to write and tell you how much I loved this story, and how wonderful to meet one of the Eagles properly at last. Loved it when Meneldor laughed - nice to realise that they can. Hobbits seem to amuse everyone. How typical of our favourite Took to be so excited about flying - nothing dampens Pip's spirits for long and he's keen to try new things, even if poor Merry did suffer from vertigo!

Thank you! I think that even Eagles would have a sense of humor :) I'm glad you like how the hobbits reacted to the flying, I wanted to show Pippin as confident and looking after Merry for a change. Anyway, I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for commenting :D

I just love the Eagles and I was so glad to find that someone had written a story that involved one of them. This is wonderful. I also enjoyed Gandalf very much in this one. I am always glad to find that you have a new story posted because I always enjoy your tales. This is another lovely one!

Thanks very much, GW! What a nice review! :) I'm so glad that you enjoyed Gandalf here, I always love writing him. I've grown fond of the Eagles as well, and it was great fun writing Meneldor here. I'm glad you like how he turned out :)

Oh how wonderful! For Pippin and Merry to get a chance to fly with an eagle is just marvelous, and all your details made it seem very plausible. I loved all the little touches you gave it. Thanks for sharing such a sweet story!

Thanks very much! I'm so happy that you liked it! :) Marigold demanded that Merry and Pippin ride on an Eagle. I figured that there needed to be some really big reason why they would be allowed to do so, and the only reason I could think of was if the Ringbearer's life depended on it. I'm glad you thought it was plausible! I was a little nervous about the concept, so that's certainly a relief :D

I thought this was great. But you aren't going to stop there are you? I want to know about that mysterious note. I also want to thank Marigold that you stopped lurking and found your voice as an author. I always enjoy your stories. I, too, lurked for a long time before I plucked up courage to become a reviewer. The kind, and prompt, responses I keep getting from you, the authors, keeps me reviewing and offering more detailed thoughts. Some sort of cyclic logic to that! Anyway keep it up :) I review, not write but one of Shirebound's plot bunnies is eating me out of house and home so who knows!

Wow, thank you very much! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! This story is finished, but as for the note I guess I'll have to write something else eventually explaining it! :D I agree, it is cyclical! Getting comments from readers is so wonderfully encouraging, and has helped me gain a little confidence. I still get nervous whenever I post something, and as soon as I see a comment I feel so much better! :) Shirebound always has some really interesting plot bunnies, although they are very persistent! I think you should definitely write that fic :)

Remarkable indeed, our lads are. Thanks for the story, and thanks for Marigold getting you going to begin with!
