| Oh, I like this! I hadn't thought about Frodo's feelings for the lasses coming back once the ring was gone. Now I can see where this might have happened and how he might have struggled with the idea of staying in the Shire and giving things a chance and yet realizing that it would never work. That must have made his time before he left all the more difficult. I'm looking forward to more of this! Author Reply: I hadn't thought about it either until recently. Don't know what exactly brought it about, but here is the result of that musing. LOL, seems we both have an idea of where this is going! Thanks for stopping by to read! | |

| Ah, whether its Cuthalion's Lily Proudfoot or my Narcissa Boffin or White Gull's Iris Whitfoot, we all see Frodo as having been drawn at one time or another to at least one Hobbitess, it seems. Rather sad in some ways; but the urge would have been there. Author Reply: What?? :-O You mean this idea has been thought of before??? :-P LOL I figured it must have been covered by now, but it's new for me though. I do agree that the urge would have been there, especially just before and after his coming of age. I like to imagine that he was quite the catch in his day, lol. Although I can see how his itch for adventure and the burden he later carries interrupts his "fun". I like the thought of Frodo drawn to a pretty lass (or lasses!), and right now I enjoy exploring that facet of his character. Which brings me to ask the title of your Frodo and Narcissa story? I'm *still* working LOADS of overtime, so I can't promise when I'll get to read it, but I am greatly interested in reading your take on this idea. Thanks for reading! | |

| This is so very well written, Pippinfan! It is not maudlin nor overly sentimental. It feels very real and genuine. I'm so glad you have Frodo at least noticing and somewhat considering a lass. I look forward to the further chapters of this story. A marvelous gem as always, Pippinfan :-) Author Reply: Thank you, Mentor! :-) While I don't wish for my Frodo to come across maudlin or overly sentimental, he'll have his tears at some point over certain issues, but not today. Not yet, anyway. ;-) Author Reply: Oh! And thank you for reading! :-P Idiot me forgetting my manners. | |
