Poor old Boromir, everyone's forgetting him; but who knows how different things might have been if he had a girlfriend at home to think about as well as the Quest/Ring/Isildur's Bane issue. He might even have let Faramir go to the Council of Elrond instead which probably would have suited both of them better, though of course it would have changed things a lot later on and maybe not for the better (besides he may never have met Eowyn). It seems like Boromir would have been a lot happier - relatively speaking - leading the field against the armies of Mordor and defending his lady than as a member of the Fellowship; his talents were much more for the former than for the latter.

Rosa - I don't usually read fanfic (OK, I NEVER read fanfic) but that story was impressive. The plot was a little out there, but I didn't notice that as I was reading. Maybe it worked mostly because it didn't describe Frodo as having had a "normal" day-to-day relationship like Sam and Rosie have; since after what Frodo's been through it's plain that as nice as the idea would be, he just doesn't have the emotional capability anymore. BTW thank you for saying hello on the other thread [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] - the notes on translation have lots of good names - some of them need to be used.
