Hello! Allow me to introduce myself, I am the Halfling of the Shire, also known as the Humble Halfling. I am a simple hobbit and to some of my friends I am also known as Lady Jill 'Pole'. Those friends including Queen Su and King Caspian the Seafarer, whom you must check out... their stories are really awesome! Another great author I want to recommend you to is Edmund the Just who is a new author to fanfiction.net. Congratulations on your first fic, Ed!

I FINALLY WROTE THE FIRST PART OF REEPICHEEP CHRONICLES!! It is just an introduction to the ten part series but hopefully you guys like it. Computers hate me and so does school so I have absolutely no time anymore to write but I will try to continue. I am so excited about my first Narnia fic with a GOOD GUY as the main character! I luv u Reep!! I have finally finished The Scouring of the Shire: Saruman's Revenge!

And now let me tell you more about me.

I am a Christian, which means that I have come to know Christ and that He has influenced my life in a way that is indescribable. I live in a Christian home and have grown up reading the Bible and learning to tell others of my beliefs.

Among my favorite authors are C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.

I love how eloquently C.S. Lewis portrays Aslan in his books. He is an amazing author and I can't put his books down. And although God isn't mentioned in The Lord of the Rings, I do believe that Tolkien was influenced by Christ, and whether he meant to or not, he portrayed some of his characters alike to the character of God. For instance Aragorn was a leader, kind and gentle, but firm and strong. He was also humble. "My friends," he said to Frodo and Sam "You bow to no one." I think the hobbits were portrayed like the people in the world. Frodo was burdened down by the weight of evil, and yet Sam had an ever faithful hope for the future. That is the greatest gift of all: Hope. This is why Samwise is my favorite character in the whole series.

I am a BIG Lord of the Rings fan and love the Chronicles of Narnia as well. I couldn't choose a fav. between Tolkien and Lewis even if I wanted to, although I find Tolkien's characters a little easier to write about. Hence the LOTR stories listed in my archive. One more thing,

If Christ is your God and Saviour and you believe that He died to save you, please send me a message, and I'll be glad to send you some of my fav. Bible verses, or at least reply your message and thank you for your "RSVP", you could say. Thank you to all who participated on my poll, I have started the Legolas/Gimli story that was on the top of my poll and I will admit that I'm having a bit of trouble with it. If you have anything you want to see in the story, by all means please message me and tell me to add it, and I most certainly can insert it in.

THANK YOU TO AN ANONYMUS WRITER CALLED "eiluj" FOR GIVING ME SUCH AMAZING AND HELPFUL CRITIQUE! I appreciate everything this author had to say. This author sounded very informed and very experienced and I hope that he/she makes an account or becomes a great writer, who creates many exciting novels. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I appreciate your advice and I shall take it. I wish I could answer all of the author's questions.

I personally disapprove of stories with slash and gay relationships because I find it yucky and unenjoyable to read. Althugh meant to be comical, I'm sure, the authors of these stories take an excellant role model character and make them act silly and not-so-excellant, which I do not find comedic or humorous. I cannot understand how anyone would enjoy writing a story like that. I am personally disappointed because the real world in which we live has no role models. No one to look up to. Nothing is expected of anyone. No one to learn from, no one, NO ONE, NO ONE is there to tell you right from wrong. Our society is immoral and bereft of any conscience or guilt. We need to change this. Join my community for Christian Narnian authors and PLEASE promote stories that we can be proud to read and write.

Are we setting a good example for the next generation? Or even for our own?! What's one less swear word? Is that too hard? Is it too habitual? Do something. If you want what's best for the environment, ignore all the recycling and 'go green' stuff and do something for the community around you. The PEOPLE you hang out with. THAT's the problem. The world doesn't pollute itself.

One challenge for you:

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future. That's why I, a simple, tiny hobbit who belongs in a garden in another world less immoral, am going to do something about it. Will you?

Phillipians 4:8

"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue or if there is anything praiseworthy-- meditate on these things."

Phillipians 4:13

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." So can you.

:SPOILERS:

I do not approve of all of the disgusting and crude stories I found about Pippin being gay with Merry. That is why I wrote two Pippin/Merry stories. I am also in the process of continuing two stories: Of Promises, Trees and Caves, about Legolas and Gimli, and The Reepicheep Chronicles. I have finished The Scouring of the Shire: Saruman's Revenge. I apologize for not regularly posting because I am so busy that it's just sad and I just want to say thanks for reading and I am writing a lot of fun stuff! I hope to write more Narnia, because The Flight of Prince Caspian and Just a Lion were a lot of fun to do. I think I write villains too well. I do not plan to continue my Miraz story. It is compete! I might 'continue' In the Shadows, though. Maybe just one more chapter. I want to leave my readers gasping for air and wanting more. Hee hee, oh, I'm SO evil!!I am also going to write an Arwen story, I think. But I don't know. REEPICHEEP CHRONICLES is posted!! yay!!

Thanks a bunch! Let me know what you think,

I hope you enjoy looking at my stories and PLEASE read and review! I appreciate all feedback, comments, questions, contributions, thoughts, dreams, wishes, hopes, concerns, advice, correction, contention, and opinions. Thank you!

The Halfling of the Shire

May your land long be full of leaf
