I'm so happy you updated! (technically so soon for me but later for others) I love what your doing with Bilbo and everything is just going so well, you shouldn't have been so shocked though, you are an excellent author and the idea was superb. Now be sure to update as soon as you can because I am dying to see what happens with Thorin. Also are you thinking of taking this all the way thru to the end of LoTR or just There and Back Again, maybe with a sequel? (with such a good start I think you'll be able to write a sequel for this.) because I would like to see how he manipulates that series of events, because there's the king of Gondor thing and the Saruman thing. Oh well I'll have to wait to find out about at any way.

So remember you have a growing group of fans and definitely a devoted one (for this story at least! Your brilliant!) update soon!

And best of luck writing the next chapter.

up date soon. can't wit to read the next chapter. the story's really good.

good stuff

Love this.. I hope bilbo will be able to change the future.
Please don't stop writting this.
Will be waiting for the next chapter.
Great job with this fic.
Loveeee it.

THIS, my dear, is one of the meanest (although not worst) cliffs I ever had to encounter. Please relieve the tension and continue soon. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is dying to read the next chapter. And the chapter after that. And so on.
By the way, I really like this story and the idea. I've never read anything similar. And your writing style is nice. You are also doing a good job with keeping the characters in character. I cannot wait to read "your" Thorin 'though, I always found that he is one of the most difficult characters to portay - not many writers can keep him from becoming out of character, I certainly can't. I am really curious how you will write him.

'squee!' Can't wait!

great story so far...are you going to make it so gandalf finds out how bilbo was sent back?

If you finish this, I'll print it out and bind it in red leather to match my LOTR book.
Though you should know, there is a single line that breaks the voice: "the crack in his heart now a full-blown gap".
Besides that... 3

Very, very interesting! I can't wait to see what happens: if Bilbo will go off to destroy the Ring, etc. Can't wait for an update, soon please!

Will Bilbo be able to change things for the better?

Well I'm glad you got the ball rolling this sets it's self up to be a pretty good read and I anxiously await the next chapter. Well done and best of luck writin g the next chapter.

I love it! Please write more soon. Please!

So I'm doing my best to not be a Thilbo shipper, but I think fanfic is convincing me otherwise...and I can guess that this one isn't going to help.

This fandom really does need a go-back-in-time-and-change-shit story, doesn't it? xD This looks pretty awesome so far - I can't wait to read more! Hope to read more, longer chapters in the future :D

SQUEAL! I LOVE IT! I am so glad someone decided to make one! :D

Oooh... I am so happy someone is starting this. I actually too had planned on doing one, once my current Hobbit fic is finished. But having someone else giving it a shot is good too! So - looking forward to more.
