Oh Obelia this is fantastic. But you CAN'T just leave us there!!!!!
Author's reply
Thank you! I know, I feel terrible for leaving you with such a terrible cliffhanger for so long. :( Poor Frodo must be in a coma by now... ;)
Larner · 8 June 2011 · Chapter 5: Disaster
Ah! Praise him with great praise for his ability to both act and think under such pressure! He's most likely saved the smial with his action of seeking to smother the fire as he did! Certainly he saved Hob. Now, to find out how the fire started!
Author's reply
I just love Frodo being heroic. :D
Dreamflower · 7 June 2011 · Chapter 5: Disaster
OH! Oh, one thing after another and then a FIRE!! I'm so glad that Frodo was able to save little Hob! Now we know about the "mortal peril" part! And I do hope we get to the bottom of Merry's troubles before too much longer. Poor kid. Adolescence is the pits.
Author's reply
Yup, the curse is broken. :)

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful and exciting chapter! I'm so happy to read "good old fashioned" hobbity h/c and Shire doings and anytime you update it's such a pleasure to settle in and read. :)
Author's reply
There can never be too much hobbity h/c, right? ;)

Dear me! Frodo's got his hands full, doesn't he? But he's handling it very well. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
Thanks for reviewing! Yes, Frodo got more than he bargained for.
Larner · 22 May 2011 · Chapter 4: Many Mishaps
Poor Merry--his words were anything but politic, and it does appear that Friday the thirteenth is happening all over the region of the Hill, doesn't it? Mortal peril, eh? Beware of small children bolstered by hopes to effect hopeless rescues, then! Heh!
Author's reply
Heh heh, I think I'm almost done tormenting the Hill residents, at least. :)
Larner · 21 May 2011 · Chapter 3: The Free Fair
Ah, so all will be staying in the neighborhood of the Hill. Hope that Sam and Merry make it up soon!
Author's reply
Oh, they will eventually. :)
shirebound · 20 May 2011 · Chapter 4: Many Mishaps
Oh my goodness, what a day! I'd take one of my stressful Mondays over poor Frodo and the Gamgees' day, and no mistake.
Author's reply
Hmm, maybe I should have made that chapter take place on a Monday?
Dreamflower · 20 May 2011 · Chapter 4: Many Mishaps
Oh goodness! Frodo is really having a time of it, isn't he? I wonder who will be in "mortal peril"? I like the idea of seeing Sam at this age making a mistake in the garden-- he's still young and learning here, and I can see him getting so caught up in what he was doing with the weed to forget everything else! Of course, he's not likely to do it again! I am really enjoying this!
Author's reply
Yup, Sam is definitely young and still learning. I'm glad you're enjoying! :)
Dreamflower · 19 May 2011 · Chapter 3: The Free Fair
Oh dear! Poor Sam and poor Merry! Of course, Merry is being cranky and sullen, but if he'd just found the right sort of branch, he might not have gotten so annoyed with Sam. Of course, that would have made for a rather dull chapter, LOL! Frodo really does have his hands full, doesn't he? And now a Pippin-with-a-cold added to the mix... I love your version of Sam's family, especially the little nephew Hob-- he's a cutey!
Author's reply
Thanks for your comments; I love your reviews. :)
shirebound · 19 May 2011 · Chapter 3: The Free Fair
Frodo smiled. “Pretty well, thanks,” he replied, and shook Hob’s little hand. “It is a pleasure to meet you.” That fairly finished Hob, and he shrank back behind Sam, blushing furiously. That's purely adorable. I enjoy your chapters very much.
Author's reply
Thanks!

Saw your story here, and I enjoy stories that include Sam, but had somehow missed your earlier ones, so I went back and read Anchored before starting this one. I enjoyed Anchored and am glad you began Aweigh. I look forward to taking the journey with you.
Author's reply
Glad you found it! Thanks for reviewing.
Larner · 31 August 2010 · Chapter 2: Tweenaged Tempers
Foolish, moody adolescents! Poor Sam and Merry at this point.
Author's reply
Moody adolescents are rather fun to write, though. :)
Dreamflower · 30 August 2010 · Chapter 2: Tweenaged Tempers
Oh dear! Poor Merry! And poor Frodo, trying to find out what the trouble is. I like the way you show Sam as being a bit uncertain and insecure here as well. After all, he's still a tween as well, and he's only two years older than Merry. Sometimes people forget that, and make him seem like an adult compared to Merry. BTW: I'd like to upload "Adrift" and "Anchored" to my Nook e-reader! (And this one when it's done, of course!)
Author's reply
Ooh, an e-reader? Cool! *feels official* :)
shirebound · 30 August 2010 · Chapter 2: Tweenaged Tempers
Poor Merry, I hope he can unburden himself to Frodo soon. And Sam can be *such* a good and wise friend, if allowed to be.
Author's reply
Sam is definitely becoming a wise friend!
Beatrice · 8 August 2010 · Chapter 1: Merry Comes to Visit
Wonderfully entertaining and very true to the characters! I can't help but wonder what Merry said to Old Rory, though. Looking forward to reading more!
Author's reply
Thanks for reading!
Dreamflower · 8 August 2010 · Chapter 1: Merry Comes to Visit
Oh, I'm loving this-- tweenaged Merry, all confused and adolescent, but just as sharp as can be! I am curious as to why his grandfather banished him for six months, poor kid! And calm and accepting Frodo, whose patience is sure to try young Merry! Silly Merry, of COURSE Frodo would remember your birthday! *grin*
Author's reply
I'm having a lot more fun than I expected, writing tweenaged Merry!
shirebound · 8 August 2010 · Chapter 1: Merry Comes to Visit
How truly wonderful to see you begin the last part of your trilogy! I enjoyed this chapter very much, and look forward to many more. *beams*
Author's reply
Yay! Thank you for reading. :)
