Five Years Old, b2mem

slightlytookish hit me with this bunny this morning, and I've been more or less working on it ever since, neglecting other fic and various important things I was *meaning* to work on. A bit of G-rated fluff.

A certain young Took has an important birthday...

Hobbit Ages Chart, B2MEM

I recently got a query from lily_the_hobbit about the way I come up with the age differential between Hobbits and Men. I have shared this chart before, but I've never posted it on my LJ. I am quite aware that not everyone agrees with the two-thirds ratio, and unless one has access to JRRT's Letters, all the evidence for it is not in LotR. However, there are a rather large contingent of us who *do* agree with that formula, so perhaps those writers will find this somewhat useful.

The chart and the explanatory material first appeared on the PippinHealers e-list, which accounts for the way the explanation is worded. It followed on from a discussion of the issue of Hobbit ages.
