Not really sure what to say about this; strange prompts make me write strange fills.

I have always thought that the rivalry between the two families must have started with Longo. If you look at the Family Trees, it is obvious that Otho and Lobelia were underage when theattempt to take over Bag End happened.

I love it when we get to see the upper branches of that Tree filled out !

I'm glad you enjoyed it :).
I've actually never noticed the bit about the ages (except maybe subconsciously given how this story turned out).

I just get curious about all those background characters sometimes and like to write them backstory. I mean I'm putting a family reunion in one of my fics just for the excuse to pull all kinds of cousins in off Bilbo's family tree - which I may or may not have saved just for this kind of thing.

I've done a number of stories with the "older generation" and a lot of them feature in the "Bilbo bio" I'm writing.

I also did a book-verse AU a number of years ago, in which Bilbo's gardener had his apprenctice Hamfast paint over the front door before the Dwarves arrived, LOL!

But I love all those minor characters! They are awesome.

That was me. I'm using a public computer and forgot I was not logged in!

No worries, I've done that before. And all those stories sound interesting - is your bio a fic or more of a collection of canon?

And I guess everyone has wondered a bit about that mark before ;)

It is a fic, covering Bilbo from birth to when he leaves for his adventure in the first part, then take the story up again when he comes back. So far he is still in his tweens. He will be coming of age in a couple of chapters, I do believe. I have not figured out how to do links on this borrowed keyboard, but it is posted at ff.n, Stories of Arda and Many Paths to Tread. The title is "Eleventy-one: Too Short a Time".

Anyway, as you can see it gives a lot of scope for playing in the Baggins Family Tree.

Sounds interesting. I don't have a lot of time at the moment but I'll try to check it out at some point. I do like to see different variations on everyone's backstory.
