Queer Things: Considering the Prologue
This is my first fanfic, please don't critisise, much, and don't judge.
Disclaimer-
I do not own Lord of the Rings or 10 years younger.
Considering Genders
Because this is a Frodo/Sam + (insert random name here)/ (insert other random name here) fic, I'm changing the genders and names of the following:
Sam;
Merry.
This is convenient because it helps with the plot and some other things, which I don't quite know yet. They will also have a name change to more suitable names (see Considering Names). I may tweak some genders later on as well.
Considering Ages
Because of the plot (again) I have chosen to change the ages of some of the chief cast. Some only slightly and for some others it will be like they have been on an odd, actually age-altering version of 'Ten Years Younger'.
E.g. each of the four hobbits has only two years between them, but there still in the proper age order.
Considering Names
As you have read earlier, I'm giving Merry and Sam new names to suit their erm... gender changes. They will be as followed:
Samwise Samantha (Normal name given to female Sam, I'm really not one for originality.)
Meriadoc Mertensia (As far as I know, not a name. It's a plant, a green plant. Thought it a suitable substitute.)
Considering Chapters
At the beginning of each chapter, I'll notify you if any changes have been made from the original (e.g. Names, Gender, Age, etc, etc, etc).
Chapters should be added once every week hopefully, but chapters should be posted every day for the week the first chapter is up. Which should be Monday 19th July, around 16.30.
85-word Prologue:
Queer things happened on September 22nd that year, some said that they had always been like that, and the queer things were a year or six after that, others said that it had been queer since Bilbo Baggins had first left The Shire- since Gandalf the Grey, a wizard, turned up after a long period of absence- but one hobbit will always remember the queer things beginning one day, a day before Bilbo's birthday party on September 22nd, and she will always remember it well...
