I do love it when thoughts of Aunt Dora makes an appearance. :)

Author Reply: Every time I think of Aunt Dora, I thank Dreamflower for her wonderful work exploring Miss Dora's advice... If not for her efforts, I might have completely overlooked that small mention in JRRT's account of Bilbo's Birthday.

I'm glad to find you coming along on this newest holiday offering concerning the history of Frodo's adoption... I must admit, it was rather a surprise to me (I was expecting this would be the final installment, but in truth I needed a better bridge between "Clearing the Heir" and "A Breath of Fresh Heir" in order for the plot to flow. The original draft had a few hiccups when I read it over again before tackling the final revision, and I found I needed to insert an entirely new section that wasn't in the original outline. Perhaps that's TMI...?)

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
