| A neat idea - they are almost like bookends, and really show the differences between Bilbo and Frodo. Interesting, too, that you managed to make them both a bit...uncomfortable in the situations they actually like best. Bilbo *liked* big parties, and Frodo *liked* quiet ones, but there is something more to it. Good job! Author Reply: Thank you! Yes, they they rather are like bookends. Bilbo loved his big parties, but he was becoming bored with the same thing year after year as he was no longer the "traditional" hobbit after his adventure. And as much as Frodo liked more quiet, sedate gatherings, he was willing to endure the big parties for Bilbo's sake. | |

| Very nice. Bilbo's birthdays became so much more enjoyable for him when he suddenly had to share them with a certain lad. :D Author Reply: Of course! Bilbo's birthdays were never the same since his Frodo-lad came along!! Unfortunately, I don't think Frodo got away with getting rid of the S-Bs like that for too much longer as he grew older! And poor Frodo didn't really know anything other than celebrating his birthdays with Bilbo. I would think it must have taken much adjustment on Frodo's part to suddenly have to get used to not having someone to share his birthday with him--I would imagine it would be like celebrating a holiday for the first time when a loved one has passed on ... and you find yourself remembering how things used to be celebrated while trying to adjust to the person's absence. | |
