Ancestress: Chapter 17, Troubling Questions

[dreamflower]

I am going to try and update "Ancestress" three times a week.

Chapter 17: Troubling Questions

BTW: I would love it if someone who is good with photomanips and icon-making could help me out! I've found a perfect image for Mirimë, but I need it altered slightly to turn her into a hobbit. If someone can help me with that, I will be glad to reward you with a ficlet!

Another fantastic installment - and I can certainly see why Frodo might be upset!

ETA: I'm complete and utter crap at photomanips, etc, but beruthiels_cats is pretty good at them, and pandemonium_213 helped me immensely with making myself a custom banner for the MEFA performance of 'Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On.'

Poor Frodo. To him it must seem as if he never had had a choice in all that happened. That everything was already designed. Makes me wonder how much the Valar really know.

About hobbits? In my story, only two Valie knew anything at all about them: Yavanna and Nienna.

But Eru knows all.

If you haven't found anyone yet I might be able to help you. :)

Here is a link to a picture I found, that rather fits my idea of how Mirimë looked when Tûk first meets her in hobbit form:

Really, all she needs is furry feet (I like lots of fur on hobbit feet). I don't think her ears show enough to worry about putting points on them.

If you can help me with that, I'll write you a ficlet. Maybe Frodo and Sam friendship, or young Frodo?

Awww, that's a lovely pic and very hobbity with the bare feet and the dress!

Is there anything else you want changed? Have her thinner/fatter, different hair colour etc?

I'm assuming the fur on the hobbit feet is to be the same colour as the hair on her head? :) I see if I can finish it tonight.

Oh, I missed this comment, somehow! I know I like it as is, but if you could make her a little plumper, it would not go amiss!

And yes, I like the foot fur matching the hair on her head! And I love the pointy hobbit ear!

How is this?



Oh, and happy birthday! *hobbity hugs*

Hi!

My comment notifications from LJ are coming late and out of order! But, oh, this is wonderful! I hope to begin using it when Adamanta and Tuk finally meet!

*grin* She's so pretty and hobbity! Thank you!

And one young Frodo fic coming up soon! It may take a week or so, but I will let you know! ((((hugs))))

[frodosweetstuff.livejournal.com]

Yes, comments have been terrilbe the last few days - I got so many 24 hours late. :S

Anyway, I'm glad you liked her. If you ever have anything else you want manipped, let me know!

Yay! *hugs you back*

[frodosweetstuff.livejournal.com]

Okay, I added a hobbit ear and foot fur. Let me know what you think. Is the foot hair the way you wanted it? Is the position/colour/etc the way you want it to be? Don't be afraid to let me know if there is something that you want done differently. :)



(And if you like the final manip, then yes, I'd like a ficlet about young Frodo.)

*Squee!*

Oh, it's just lovely! Thank you SO much!
