| So, Gandalf was against Frodo staying in Minas Tirith, while all three of the hobbits were for it? Interesting. And I like what you did with Elladan and Elrohir. Elrond & Elros were not identical twins, eh? Makes sense, I think, or else they might not have been able to make such different choices. Looking forward where all this will lead. Knowing your work, it will surely be exciting and surprising. Author Reply: I'd always thought of those two as fraternal, while Elladan and Elrohir appear to have been identical. Certainly Feanor's twins appear to have been identical, and almost interchangeable. As for Dior's sons--I don't remember hearing one way or another. I know twins run in the family, and wanted a pair myself. However, instead I got the almost twins of stepson and adopted daughter who were only two and a half months apart in age. Not quite what I'd envisioned. I rather think that Gandalf would have recognized that Frodo was needed by the Shire. Qne we'll see where it leads. | |

| It's interesting to see how things worked out nearly the same but not simply because Frodo ends up not returning to the Shire with the other Hobbits. An interesting discussion about twins and ósanwë. BTW, it's "My brother and I". Sorry... English teacher. *grin* Looking forward to seeing how this works out. Author Reply: Have you never noticed that sometimes we start writing and spelling like our students? My worst year for spelling was the year I taught third grade! Heh! But some things would certainly have been different, don't you think? Frodo's steadiness and compassion would have given a definite model for others, I'd think. Had a friend who always seemed to know what her sister was up to, and was almost always right, although they weren't twins. Reports on twins do indicate this is often very common, particularly in identicals. | |
