You never disappoint. Truly evocative of the man. Thank you.

Damn it, you made me cry!
This is just beautiful. A lovely idea and so well executed. Thanks for sharing this vision with us.

Ah, I hope you have not abandoned this. How interesting to turn the reader's eye to the Shire that the travellers left behind, something that Tolkien doesn't give us a glimpse of until the very end of the WOTR. I never thought to wonder what the families of our favorite hobbits must have thought when they went off. I have no acquaintance with drabbles but I can see that they force the author into an almost haiku-like brevity. I found yours particularly vivid and touching. Thank you.

An intriguing premise. Judging from the number of hits it has received, others have found it worth reading as well. Perhaps they are reluctant to comment because of what the story suggests... I must say that the topic disturbs me but your writing is polished and you have created a plausible scene, handling the subtle tension very well.

What a charming bit of Hobbitt eroticism. You write very well--I love your descriptions. They engage the senses and transport the reader into your world. I haven't read much second-person POV fiction but I think it works very well in this case, as it allows the reader to put herself into the narrative and become a (willing!) participant. I have to admit I put off reading this series because I was afraid it would be just PWP-silliness but you create and sustain a believeable reality with plausible situations. I rather like the idea that Frodo, who suffered so much, gains his reward in the easternmost of the Undying Lands. Nicely done!

I can't believe I am the first to review this! Although it is of course highly speculative, I find the image of Frodo and his adoring ladies a pleasant one.
Your writing is first-rate. You set a scene with rich detail and the narrative flows very smoothly. I thought you did avery good job in capturing the nuances of character. I could hear the characters in my head when they spoke, and Sam's description of Rosie brought tears to my eyes. Very well done!

Wonderful.

I didn't think it possible to arouse sympathy for Grimi but you have created a credible past for him and gave humanity to him while remaining true to the character and canon. Very well done.
