Nine Walkers: Pippin

[rabidsamfan]

Pippin, South of Rivendell

I’m not sure that Lord Elrond really would have had me tied in a sack, and to be honest I’m not sure he would have needed to. We’ve been walking and walking and it all looks the same in the dark and the wind keeps blowing so hard that I think I’ve forgotten what it means to be warm. If it weren’t for Frodo needing someone to remember to ask him questions that make him smile I’d feel as if it would have been better for me to go home and warn everyone except they wouldn’t have believed me anyway.

LOL! How gorgeously Pippin! Loved it!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Thank you! He's fun to write.

Sweet Pippin . . . very nice :)

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Thanks. He is, isn't he?

... except they wouldn’t have believed me anyway.

Poor lad. It must be annoying to be always the youngest (and that one with the craziest ideas...). You captured him perfectly. Thank you!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

He's really like a little kid tagging along, when you think about the ages. But he lives up to the challenge!

You've got Pip's voice down perfectly! Love it! "If it weren't for Frodo needing someone to remember to ask him questions that make him smile..." the lad knew exactly what *his* contribution to his cousin's well being was. This so made *me* smile!

I enjoy writing Pippin. It always makes me smile too.

That's a wonderful summation of Pippin's thoughts! "Frodo needs me, and what would be the point in going home, anyway?"

:)

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Precisely. Thank you!

[illyria-novia.livejournal.com]

Lovely, and so true Pippin. Thanks for this.

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

I’d feel as if it would have been better for me to go home...

Awwww... Poor Pippin. It truly stinks to be the youngest. So Pippinish. Wonderful!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Thank you. He must have felt very young some days!

[cpsings4him.livejournal.com]

Aww! I LOVE this!! So very, very Pippen! And you know I have a thing for Frodo and Pip together lately (not / together...just together interacting in the same story...you know!). Somebody make me shut up!

Anyway! This is fantastic!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[baylorsr.livejournal.com]

Aw, my Pippin. Let me tuck you into my coat and carry you around.

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

That would probably be easier with knittedpippin, LOL!

I love the way you've done the run-on phrases of Pippin's thoughts - yet still conveyed that Pip is bright enough to appreciate and play up his true contribution to the venture.

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Bright, but not yet very eloquent. That's our Pippin all right!

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

Lord, I just want to kiss him on the cheek and hug him.

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine him saying "no!" At least not at that point of the quest!

[danachan.livejournal.com]

Oh, how -- how Pippin>/i> of him. I absolutely adore the tone of this, you know.

[danachan.livejournal.com]

... I am far too tired to delete-and-fix this, so there you are, coding error for all to see.

*sigh*

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

I screw that up all the time. When my brains are poured in I hit "preview" but that's not very often.

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

And Thank You, by the way...

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Thank you. (late, but thank you anyway!)
