I doubt there is anyone better able to write Hobbit humor than Grey Wonderer. And what she has Merry and Pippin, and at times Frodo and Sam as well, managing to do is always quick to elicit joy and thought.

Grey Wonderer has a real talent when it comes to humour and hobbits! Her plots can be very unique to say the least, from compromising situations, practical jokes, and even orc sex! But best of all I think is the way that she writes young Merry and Wee!Pippin. Her serious, droll Merry and innocent appearing, but devious, baby Pippin and the very necessary bells on his trousers are a delight. GW's dialogue and situations are always great; each line builds on what went before, and each funny event leads to an even funnier event, until the always satisfying conclusion!

Grey Wonderer has a way of writing Pippin especially but all the hobbits that is simply hilarious. Pippin is so honest and forthright in the questions he asks, but those questions are more than a bit embarrassing. He takes his time getting to the point but keeps pushing. Really, it's brilliantly true to life and laugh-out-loud hilarious throughout. I've only found the time to read a few of the stories but I'm going to try to read more after the awards are over.
