Sam

[sophinisba]

I'm concerned that Sam is being neglected in my hobbit fics and suspect it's because I don't know how to write him or am scared to write him, and I need practice. Please to be commenting with prompts involving Sam, which I may or may not answer in comments or in new posts or, um, something. Also please share any thoughts or helpful hints about how he can be written well.

Thank you, dear, this is a wonderfully encouraging comment. I am not especially drawn to writing in dialect, but I think it's important to keep in mind that, yeah, we can try anything we want here. This is what we do for fun and this is a community of people who enjoy the same things. It's not like I'm going to be banned from the fandom forever if I get it wrong.

I also love your prompt and it was very clever of you to insist I write only about Sam. I haven't come up with anything for it yet (and I don't know the first thing about gardening), but I will keep it in mind and see what I can do.
