Fic rec

I read a wonderful story today by an author who is new to me, and I just have to rec it.

"Mrs. Maggot Gives Directions" by Virtuella

I absolutely adore her lush style, and her Maggots are wonderful!

Thanks for the rec - you're right! It was delightful!

I love hobbit farmwives, and this Mrs. Maggott was beautifully written!

I agree, very well done!

You might laugh, but I'm picturing the Brothers Hildebrandt painting of the Travelers with the Maggots. I think that picture would fit well with this fic.

Thanks for recommending this story!

i discovered Virtuella's stories a few weeks ago and loved them.She seems a very nice lady too.

Isn't she though? I love all the little details we see of hobbit life!

Oh, I still have that calendar--I know which painting you mean! You are right, it does give that feeling.

It's always lovely to find a new author, especially one so talented!

Yes, we'd "talked" a bit at the GFIC list on Yahoo! and she seems to be very nice! I look forward to reading more of her stuff. I noticed she has a story up on the MEFAs that's now on my wish list.
