| Loved this Elemmire! Especially the last paragraph tying all this into canon! Author Reply: Thank you, Harrowcat! I added this chapter in special, as I was inspired by a comment in one of Dreamflower's reviews. She was speculating on HGTV programs as my titles and wondered if I would have 'Designing for the Sexes' ... she also wondered if Lobelia or Dora would be butting in at some point. The two went well together and I just couldn't resist writing this! Bilbo must have certainly received many letters especially from Dora if he bequeathed her a wastebasket. LOL! | |

| Oh, my dear! How lovely, and what a great compliment to have Miss Dora quoted in your story!! I am grinning from ear to ear! Thank you! And I *do* like the way you handled the chapter--clearly for all their exasperation with one another, they are also very fond of one another. Beautifully done! Author Reply: Thank you! I'm so very glad you like it. I couldn't pass up the unintentional plot bunny you sent hopping my way. 'Designing for the Sexes' and Dora just went too well together to resist. Although they may have vastly differing opinions (ever since Bilbo's Adventure), I always pictured Bilbo and Dora getting along rather well. They are family, they have Frodo in common, and they are also the two eldest of the entire Baggins clan. They can't help but be fond of each other, I think. Besides, Aunt Dora needed some motivation/inspiration to write her book of manners ... and Bilbo is a very clever hobbit after all. She must have sent him an inordiante amount of letters through the years to be bequeathed with a wastebasket, however tongue-in-cheek it may be. LOL! | |

| What a clever way to weave your story and Dreamflower's together! I do love Aunt Dora. And the Gamgees. And pie. :D Author Reply: Thank you! I just couldn't resist after a comment in one of her reviews. It all tied in nicely with her story too. I love Aunt Dora too ... and always the Gamgees. (Bell sends Sam over with a freshly-made pie for you too) | |
