Gandalf loves his hobbits, doesn't he? :) The world indeed would be less bright if any of them were not there. Namarie, God bless, Antane

Lovely!
Author's reply
Thanks!
Agape4Gondor · 15 October 2007 · Chapter 28: Boon
Oh my goodness gracious! Bravo! Bravo! Excellent little prayer for this stalwart and wondrous Dwarf. Thank you for sharing it - superb!!!
Author's reply
You are too kind. :-)
Larner · 15 October 2007 · Chapter 29: A Wizard's Plea
Ah--how all too easily can I imagine this plea being given! Our so dearly beloved Gandalf!
Author's reply
At least his plea was rewarded. Someone obviously heard him. :-)
Lindelea · 15 October 2007 · Chapter 29: A Wizard's Plea
You've caught Gandalf's voice very nicely, I think. Good gap-filler.
Author's reply
Thanks. Gap-fillers are my favorites.
Pearl Took · 15 October 2007 · Chapter 29: A Wizard's Plea
Yes, how horrible it would have been for Frodo if Pippin had died - and for so many others as well. Nicely done Rowan!
Author's reply
It truly would have cast a shadow on the victory.
Antane · 7 October 2007 · Chapter 28: Boon
A heartfelt prayer...and answered in a very good way too. Thanks. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
Thank *you* for all your kind comments. :-)
Larner · 7 October 2007 · Chapter 28: Boon
Ah, but I can see this prayer being uttered, all too easily. Alas for the true ending of the Fellowship.
Author's reply
I can very well imagine that this is how Gimli must have felt after Aragorn's passing, with Legolas getting ready to sail.
Larner · 1 October 2007 · Chapter 27: In a New Light
Yes, his Light now is becoming more visible to many with the eyes to see. After all, he and Merry both came under the same fell influence, and both have been drawn back to this life by the same rightful one. Ah, our Frodo....
Author's reply
To be defied by a hobbit, and later by another one and a woman, must have been a completely new experience to the Witch-king. Thankfully he didn't have much time to contemplate the irony. :-)
Antane · 29 September 2007 · Chapter 27: In a New Light
Another nice piece. :) Ah, that beloved Elven hobbit... Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
Stories about Frodo from the POV of others are some of my favorites to write. :-)
White Gull · 29 September 2007 · Chapter 27: In a New Light
That is simply beautiful. Just right for Merry ... and Frodo. Thanks.
Author's reply
I've always loved their relationship. Thank *you* for commenting.
Pearl Took · 29 September 2007 · Chapter 27: In a New Light
Short and poignant. Very well done!
Author's reply
Thank you, that's what I was going for. :-)
Lindelea · 29 September 2007 · Chapter 27: In a New Light
Aww. so covered with scars that I look like a map I love Cormallen stories.
Author's reply
I figured Frodo would be the sort to say something wryly humorous like that.
Althea · 27 September 2007 · Chapter 26: Elves and Starlight
This is a perfect description Sam.
Author's reply
Why thank you. :-)
Agape4Gondor · 26 September 2007 · Chapter 26: Elves and Starlight
BRAVO! Fits my idea of Sam to a tee!
Author's reply
Sam is such a great character (and so are Frodo and Bilbo).
Agape4Gondor · 26 September 2007 · Chapter 25: The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship
This was incredibly lovely in its simplicity and lovely in its message.
Author's reply
No matter how old Legolas actually was, I think the moment he truly matured was when he chose friendship with Gimli over animosity.
Larner · 26 September 2007 · Chapter 26: Elves and Starlight
Sam is learning more of his future role that the Gaffer realizes, and I'm glad it's Frodo who's overhearing this time.
Author's reply
I hadn't thought of that slight role reversal when the idea was suggested to me. Thanks!
Andrea · 25 September 2007 · Chapter 26: Elves and Starlight
He can't hide what he feels, and he feels everything. That's simply perfect! I can very well imagine that scene! Thank you, Rowan :)
Author's reply
Thank *you*. :-)
Antane · 24 September 2007 · Chapter 26: Elves and Starlight
And for his Frodo and his Rose and thirteen children! God bless that heart! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
Well, the thirteen children don't exist yet, and if I'd included Frodo in that sentence, it would make it sound kinda slashy (not to mention going over 100 words)! :-)
Lindelea · 24 September 2007 · Chapter 26: Elves and Starlight
Ah, yes, Frodo, you certainly know Sam well.
Author's reply
Well, he knows Sam is a treasure...he just doesn't know how much of a treasure, yet.
Periantari · 16 September 2007 · Chapter 21: Breaking Fast
That brought tears to my eyes. How touching~ :*)
Author's reply
*shrugs* I tried. :-)
Periantari · 16 September 2007 · Chapter 25: The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship
That's a beautiful drabble. You're so awesome in drabbling! I'm going to subscribe to you on SoA now. :) yay for finding yoU! ;) ♥
Author's reply
Awww! Now *there*'s a compliment! :-)
Lindelea · 16 September 2007 · Chapter 25: The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship
As usual, great work. Lots of vision and meaning packed into an economy of words.
Author's reply
All I can say is drabbles are a great way of teaching yourself to do that!
Larner · 16 September 2007 · Chapter 25: The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship
I love seeing the friendship taking shape! Excellent.
Author's reply
It's how I imagined it, anyway. :-)
Larner · 3 September 2007 · Chapter 24: In Absentia
Yes, the two birthday lads, separated but still caring for one another; and Merry making certain Frodo knows he isn't alone in thinking Bilbo is still alive, somewhere out there.
Author's reply
I wish I had cousins like Merry!
