Frodo Baggins of Bag End

A new chapter of "What May Come" is available on ff.net - https://www.fanfiction.net/s/19740… will take you to the start, but the new chapter is Part XIII: Soup and Shadows. :)

Enjoy!

I finished that chapter of What May Come (WMC) tonight...it's just over 1500 words, which makes it comparable to some of the later chapters of that fic already posted. Going to sleep on it and see whether I want to make any more tweaks before I post to FrodoHealers, and then to ff.net.

Thanks to all who continue to read this fic, even though I've been working on it for fourteen years, which is longer than some people have been alive, including my dog.... O.o

Many for-profit sites have stolen all the works from ff.net w/o authorization, I'm hearing. I did find that thebuystock had "A Warm Welcome" of mine up, as well as other stories, and talkfictions had my profile and several chapters of "Starved." :P I've reported them. Please follow the procedure for reporting, as many of the for-profit sites contain viruses and malware, so you'll need to do as it says to pull up search results and get URLs from that.

FYI,
Febobe the Disgusted :P

It is now officially the anniversary of Frodo's wounding on Weathertop, and the day I'll attempt my bMRI again...and I want to mark the occasion with a recipefic. I hope you all enjoy. Links are fine as I'm putting this one on public lock.

I hadn't seen this somehow, but it's from Elijah's last day on set for LOTR, doing pickups for the ROTK scene where his Weathertop wound is hurting him, and he's closing up the Red Book...it's got some beautiful angsty Frodo shots, with more sound than we get during the movie. This is so beautiful it's downright inspiring. <3 Now I feel like writing some more fic!!! Seriously, doesn't he look so poorly, so unwell?

Thought y'all might enjoy, and I'd like to keep it for later too. :)

For Mother's Day, here's a little fic I wrote. It's Frodo-centric, as usual, and features some mention - sometimes more! - of THREE lost mothers in Middle-earth....

ETA: I might lengthen the ending just a bit when I have time. On a time crunch as my in-laws are coming over!

Three AWESOME, ROCKIN' articles on reading I just want to have for later. <3 Enjoy if you like - I did, and I think most of my friends around here are about as bookish as I am, so y'all might like them too, even though you already KNOW the benefits of reading. :)

The first sixteen chapters were posted over the period Sept. 7-19, 2011. I don't find that I had posted Ch. 17 yet; if it's a repeat, please forgive me, but I don't see it, so I don't think I'd gotten that far. Ch. 18 to come in the next few days as well.

I don't want to say too much just yet, but I've had a rush of new ideas for what's ahead in this fic, and I think y'all will REALLY enjoy what's coming several chapters down the road. And no, Frodo is NOT going to die in this fic. :) In fact, he's going to be having several new and exciting small adventures which will delight him, perhaps Sam, and possibly our beloved readers too. :)

Love always,
Febobe :)

( Into the East (Ch. 17)Collapse )

The teaser preview I posted earlier today comes from this fic's opening, so those who read that will recognise the beginning. :) Bon appetit!

This fic is set in post-Quest Minas Tirith, before the arrival of Arwen and Elrond and their party, fairly early into Frodo's recovery - but far enough out that he is no longer in danger. It is a deviation from my usual practise of assuming Gondorian food to be Italian in nature. Please pardon the amount of canon-bending in this. If you can't tolerate some fun with canon, then you definitely don't want to read this, as it's not exactly what you'd call orthodox. ;) Oh, and you may notice that Sam reacts differently to shrimp here than he expresses in "Into the East." I tend to vary in whether I keep my fics consistent across the board...and one thing I love to vary is Frodo and Sam in their reactions to fish and seafood. It makes me happy to explore.

And this was another one that took a surprise turn on me. I thought it was done, but I felt like something was missing, and I caught hints of it as I was titling the piece...but when I started to paste it over to post here, I suddenly knew what was missing, so I went back and finished it. Man, talk about fic taking you places you didn't even know you were going to go....

Love,
Febobe :)
