| 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. |

This is a very touching and enjoyable work and the idea is very interesting. Your depiction of the various homes in the first chapter are really quite chilling and moving. I’m not much of a Hobbit person, I must admit, but just within a few lines I was sucked into this. I also found the conversation between Merry & Pippin’s fathers in part 2 very intriguing. Have you ever thought to expand on this animosity between them? I think that’d make quite a good story on its own.
Thank you very much, I have enjoyed this very much  |

I will add my agreement to all that has been said...
It never occured to me to think of what went on in the Shire the many months that the hobbits were away...
Very well - done |

These are wonderful, as always.
You open a window on the events in the Shire during the War of the Ring. The works are necessarily brief, but the characterisations are fully realized and ring true. |

| Damn! There just aren't words in English to describe how this made me feel. I'm sitting here shaking my head and filled with a peculiar blend of admiration and grief. IF I could only write half this well, I'd be ecstatic. |
