Oh yes, wait just a second! I have been getting lots of reviews about Estella Bolger having a nickname that strangely is IDENTICAL to Aragorn's. This, my friends, was sort of a coincidence. "Sort of" being that I knew Aragorn's elvish name was Estel, but I was not naming her that because of Aragorn. I had seen nicknames for Estella that ranged from Stella to Stelly to who-knows-what. I thought that Estel was an original nickname for a hobbit, and I think it worked nicely.
And I didn't mean to offend anyone about saying that the incidents in Ch. 6 were "mild rape". What I meant by that is that I have seen much more graphic descriptions of this in other fanfics, and that what I wrote was "milder" in description. Sorry if I offended you!
One last thing. I was originally going to have the rape to have actually taken place, but I decided instead to have her saved (I'm not quite sure by what, though) Please, no flames! I was originally going to use the rape as the way she can get past her vow of chastity, after it was broken against her will, but I think I am going for a different, more innocent approach. A sort of Pippin/Diamond first kiss thing (not exactly a loss of chastity, I suppose, but good enough for the story, if you will). So, I was wondering. Should I have the moment when the vow is broken to be a magical sort of scene, where something visible happens to signal that she is free, or should it be more of an understanding on Diamond's part that she has broken the vow. Please help me, maybe in the form of a review??? Thank you!
And to katkanadian, I was honestly going to change the rape part, and the dropping of the knife, but I lost the entire chapter on my computer. I may have accidentally deleted it, and with my memory, I could have even uploaded the revised version already, but I doubt it. So rest assured that I did heed your review, and was going to do something about it, but I can't find the chapter on my computer. But I do realize that the knife-dropping would have been an incredibly stupid thing for her to do. In case you were wondering, I was going to have her keep the knife, Otho still would have caught her, she would have tried to use it against him though, only he would have knocked it out of her reach. Was that better?
Thank you to all for reviewing!
