The Start of Something New  by Lindelea 2 Review(s)

I like your idea that Marcho and Blanco were twins :)

Author Reply: Tolkien left so much scope for the imagination! I thought about whether they might be cousins, like Sméagol and Déagol, or Merry and Pippin. But the idea of twins kept popping up in my brain, and so I finally went with it.

It's funny how characters can take on a life of their own...

(Thanks!)

I'll look forward to reading these!

Oh my, I remember Marigold's challenges very well. What a Golden Age of fanfic we enjoyed. ♥

Author Reply: Those were certainly the days! Those challenges kept me writing during hard times... or hoping to write, at least. Along with a wealth of reading material to enjoy.

I got derailed in writing the rest of this drabble set, but (like the other WIPs I've been working on) I have not abandoned the idea. I hope to finish the set sooner than later. And then, of course, start working on something else.

Blessings to you, my friend.
