Modern Day Hobbits humm? Well I had this thought the other day and I was going to start a similar thread but it seems it has already been done [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What I had to ask was:

For an elf or hobbit to exist in modern times, do they have to look like an Elf or Hobbit? Do they have to like what we assume they'd like or live how they did in the books? Could someone call themselves an Elf or a Hobbit because they felt like one inside?
Because I do as I expect many others do and I'm sure there are few people who could prove that we're not. After all, can you define something without proof or dismiss it because it is nothing more than a "feeling"?
