GW, I feel like we're having a sustained misunderstanding here. This prompt was not my story. I had a drabbleish bit that was somewhat similar to this, but this prompt was enough different that it could go in a lot of directions. After all, these prompts are claimable by any number of people because people can do lots of things with them. And I believe I got my idea for that little bit by reading someone else's (maybe Dreamflower's, or Larner's) story in the first place and wanting to expand on something.
I would very much like other people to have the chance to try their hand at this prompt, and I would like to be able to try it as well. All my little bit was, was the children of Sam, Merry, and I believe Pippin playacting at *leaving* on their fathers' Adventure while going on a picnic. The prompt you left, if I remember rightly (I didn't even think to write it down, though I was going to if/when I got to claim it) could have had them acting out the whole Quest, which is something that could go any possible way.
I am very sorry if I ever gave you the impression I was accusing you of stealing my idea. I was not, and I would love to see this prompt returned so it can be picked up by anyone who would like it. And I, like Dreamflower, don't mind if other people are inspired by my ideas, anyway. Aren't we all here because we were inspired by Tolkien to begin with?
