Larner · 26 September 2006

I love the warmth Wanderer shows to both Sam and Frodo. First cat I saw eat pound cake, although I had one who'd go through a large loaf of bread in no time. And to see the cat begin to appreciate what Frodo's gone through is wonderful.

Author's reply

In my experience, cats will eat just about anything(including pink fuzzy hair ties, lol) Glad you liked it! God bless, Ellie

Queen Galadriel · 16 August 2006

Oh, that's so...sad! You can't end it like that! *wipes eyes* But you did, so I guess you can. It was very poignant-love Frodo's thoughts on his dear ones. God bless, Galadriel

Author's reply

Sorry I had to end like that. *is sad* I was in an angst mood that day, so... Thanks for reading! God bless, Ellie

Queen Galadriel · 16 August 2006 · Chapter 11: The Moon's House

Awwww! That is soooo sweet! I love it! How inventive! God bless, Galadriel P.S. I'll try that next time I find myself comforting a frightened little one.

Author's reply

Thank you dear! So glad to see you back! I won't be officially back for a few more days, but I just had to respond when I saw these in my inbox. Glad you enjoyed! God bless, Ellie P.S. That's not a bad idea! I'll probably be using this myself now!

Frodo Baggins · 21 July 2006 · Chapter 11: The Moon's House

Aw, how sweet! I don't know how many stories I've made up to reassure frightened siblings! This was so sweet. BTW...how do you get these Challenges that everyone's answering? I want one! :) Namarie! God Bless, Frodo Baggins

Author's reply

Glad you liked it, mellon nin! The challenges are at Marigold's livejournal. I don't know if she has a link from her author page, but you can ask her if you'd like one. I think they're doing another one now. They're SO much fun! God bless, Ellie

Antane · 20 July 2006 · Chapter 11: The Moon's House

I love it! What a sweet, loving story! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author's reply

Glad you liked it! I rather enjoyed writing it. God bless, Ellie

Antane · 20 July 2006

Heartbreaking for him to realize the emptiness inside. Cute his thoughts of Pippin. But your soul is not destroyed, dear, just terribly hurt and it will heal. Believe that. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author's reply

Poor Frodo, but he will heal, and that is a comforting thought! Thank you for reviewing! God bless, Ellie

Lindelea · 20 July 2006 · Chapter 11: The Moon's House

awww. Very sweet.

Author's reply

Thank you! Glad you thought so! God bless, Ellie

shirebound · 19 July 2006 · Chapter 11: The Moon's House

Frodo smiled. “The moon is very forgetful, and he only works on his house when the rain reminds him of it" Awwwww! :D

Author's reply

*grins* God bless, Ellie

shirebound · 19 July 2006 · Chapter 10: That Night in Bree...

“Bilbo will be very proud of you, Frodo Baggins.” I agree! What a sweet scene.

Author's reply

Thank you very much! God bless, Ellie

Frodo Baggins · 6 June 2006 · Chapter 10: That Night in Bree...

Oh how sweet, Ellie! No, not gone yet. Me, I mean. I'm not gone yet. Sorry, I can be so random at night when I'm exhausted. That was really sweet though. I love your stories. God bless and good night! Yours ever, Frodo Baggins

Author's reply

Not gone? Ah, I see. You leave soon though? It's all right, random is my middle name. *passes you blanket to curl up in and go to bed* Glad you liked this! Sweet dreams, mellon nin! God bless, Ellie

Antane · 6 June 2006 · Chapter 10: That Night in Bree...

Sweet story. I am not an Aragorn fan but I do like this story with him and Frodo and Sam holding Frodo's hand. Poor dear though with those dreams... Just heard about his nightmares in the BBC Radio adaption I have started listening to. [kneels down to give Frodo a big hug]. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author's reply

Never heard the BBC version... *runs down to library* Glad you liked it! I liked Aragorn before I knew how mush i liked the hobbits, so now that I LOVE hobbits, I had to put a LITTLE of him in here somewhere! lol! God bless, Ellie

Queen Galadriel · 6 June 2006 · Chapter 10: That Night in Bree...

Oh, Ellie, I just love it! I said the last one was my favourite of these, but maybe this one is! :) Who knew, indeed. This left me feeling warm and contented-thank you. :) God bless, Galadriel

Author's reply

Glad to be of service! Glad you enjoyed this as well! (I think this is my personal fave as well! so much fun to write!) God bless, Ellie

harrowcat · 6 June 2006 · Chapter 10: That Night in Bree...

Perhaps that ought to be Bilbo IS very proud of you. I love this Elanor, especially the idea that Frodo doesn't yet know that Strider knows Bilbo.

Author's reply

Well, bilbo is ALWAYS very proud of him, but he hasn't heard all of their adventures yet to be proud of that. I am glad you liked this! God bless, Ellie

Elemmírë · 30 May 2006 · Chapter 9: Pasta

LOL! Spaghetti does resemble long worms, doesn't it. I remeber as a child going to some haunted Halloween party at school, where there were labeled containers hidden from view that you stuck your hand into. The one labelled 'brains' was really cold spaghetti. Unlike many of your other reviews, I'm going to have to fight Frodo for the mushrooms, or hope that he will share. I love mushrooms and at one of my favorite Italian restaurants (there are sooo many to choose from where I live) there is a dish that serves Farfalle in an Asagio cream sauce with FOUR different kinds of 'shrooms!! Eat your heart our Frodo!! This was great! I'm trying to take a gander at Shirebound's pizza challenge myself.

Author's reply

Lol! I'm sure my parents pulled something like that at a Halloween party when I was a kid too! (the one I remember though was a banana, and they wouldn't tell us what it was supposed to be!) I'm sure Frodo will share with you...maybe. I only like raw mushrooms, like the ones you get on veggie trays, with lots of Ranch dip. But Italian food sounds really good right now... I'm sure your story will be great! I love shirebunnies! God bless, Ellie

Grey Wonderer · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 9: Pasta

Delicious in so many ways. Loved it!

Author's reply

Thank you very much! Love pasta! God bless, Ellie

Andrea · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 9: Pasta

Merry never could turn down a challenge from his younger cousin. He glanced down at the plate, then took one small hesitant bite. That's so very true! I enjoyed this little story very much. And I agree with Shirebound: I like pasta, but Frodo can have all the mushrooms ;-)

Author's reply

Thank you Andrea! Glad you enjoyed! Looks like Frodo'll be getting alot of mushrooms, that should make him happy! God bless, Ellie

Antane · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 9: Pasta

Cute! Especially that last sentence for some reason. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane

Author's reply

Thank you Antane! Glad you liked it! God bless, Ellie

Glory Underhill · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 9: Pasta

Ha! Very cute. I like that Frodo is the last to try it. Fussy thing *g*

Author's reply

He can be soooo stubborn, can't he??? Thanks for stopping by! God bless, Ellie

Arwen of Lorien · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 9: Pasta

HEHEHE!! ;) I agree with Merry, pasta does resemble worms. But give it to me any day! Just hold on the the mushrooms please! *Heh* Great! God bless, namarie ~Arwen

Author's reply

Looks like Frodo'll have plenty of mushrooms comin' his way! Thanks, mellon nin! God bless, Ellie

Arwen of Lorien · 29 May 2006

**Smile, smile wider, grin**

Author's reply

*giggles* glad to make you smile! God bless, Ellie

Arwen of Lorien · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 7: Elanor and Niphredil

Ai! I did not know you wrote any storys from Legolas's point of view! I am pleased! It was well done. I see that you like to sneak yourself into your stories some way or another, *Heh* Whether you are an elf, hobbit or plant! Now, off to read the others! God bless, ~Arwen

Author's reply

I have to be in my story somewhere! (Surprised you can find me though!LOL) I'm so glad you liked this, dear! So far it's my only story from his pov, but i really liked doing it! (Hoped you'd like the little elvish addition to my stories!) God bless, Ellie

Queen Galadriel · 28 May 2006 · Chapter 9: Pasta

*giggling* Oh, Ellie, this is the best yet! I just love it! Hobbits introduced to pasta. Cool! It was so hilarious the way they reacted and so perfectly in character! Of course Pip would be the first to try it. This was just what I needed--I'd been crying my eyes out over Larner's Reunion, and now I wonder if I'll stop laughing. Beware the extremes. :) God bless, Galadriel

Author's reply

Glad you enjoyed it! I haven't had a chance to read the rest of Reunion yet, but I'm glad to be of service in the laugh department! lol God bless, Ellie

Queen Galadriel · 28 May 2006

LOL! So, Wanderer has decided to permanently take up the occupation of playing chess, eh? That's so great, Ellie! LOL! And of course it's unthinkable that he could make a mistake! *grin* I have to say, Wanderer is my favourite kitty--he's got way more personality than any other I ever met. The only one that comes close is my teacher's cat, Sassy. She *was* sassy! :) Now, can Wanderer beat Frodo? God bless, Galadriel

Author's reply

Sassy! That's so cute! I think Wanderer has found himself a full time job! Btw, did i tell you that my friend Arwen of Lorien e-mailed me pics of her kitty playing chess after I wrote the first one of these? They are so cute! I'm glad you like Wanderer! It's hard writing about cats, cause I'm a dog person, but it's alot of fun! God bless, Ellie p.s. I think he'll give Frodo a run for his money. Whether he can beat him is another story. (hopefully one that will pop into my head soon!)

Queen Galadriel · 28 May 2006 · Chapter 7: Elanor and Niphredil

The memories, the banter, the ending that provokes laughter, the lyrical descriptions...I love it! :) God bless, Galadriel

Author's reply

Thanks! I had fun with this one! I'm glad you liked it! God bless, Ellie

Larner · 28 May 2006

Ah, poor Wanderer--foiled by a mere Hobbit, of course! Lovely!

Author's reply

Thanks! He won't win so easily next time!(Mwahaha) God bless, Ellie
