I've gotten so far behind on this story, and I don't know when I'm going to catch up. But I'm so grateful you're doing this kind of post, so when I can get back to it I'll be able to find it all. Thanks!

You're welcome! I hadn't expected it to turn out to be this long. It's sort of turning into "As the Shire Turns." There are two scenes I'm trying like mad to get to. We're almost there, for one of them!

As someone who's been way too busy lately, I sympathize. Hop on board when you're ready -- I'll likely still be here, typing away. :-D

Finally finished all of this enthralling tale. Spent the entire read alternately crying for Frodo and Sam and hurling nasty invectives at evildoers.
I've never read anything to equal this fic for emotional turmoil.
Frodo's ordeal is heart wrenching. As if his carrying of the Ring needed another layer. That he had to bear the thing round his neck, makes my skin crawl just to think of it.
Sam, my heart is breaking for Sam.
Your Hobbits are perfect, hugs Hobbits, the Shire fairly leaps off the screen in living screaming color.
I can't believe you have churned this out at such a rate.
Thank you and like so many others I am eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

(((Monet!))) Thank you for the wonderful comments. You really made my night. Work does get in the way, but I am continuing to work steadily on this. I want my poor little hobbits to be happy, but it will take a little more work. Thank you so much for reading, and sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it. Cheers!

I haven't said anything yet, but I must let you know that I am greatly enjoying this story. It has the plot and wording of a novel and keeps my interest unlike other works I have read. Thank you!

Thank you so much, Cherry! I'm certainly plotting it like a novel. Er, it got a little away from me, and I thought it best to give it its head. I'm so glad you've come along! Cheers, and thanks for reading!
