Well, actually...(Birdie blushes) I have a fan fic floating in my head about early Third Age Fallohides, who are kind of Trotter-eque.
I read somewhere that Tolkien suggested in a letter that early Hobbits were "primitive", and he did refer to them as being like Aborigines.
Hey that core of toughness in the dullest present-day hobbit had to come from somewhere!
Still looking for a certain "McGuffin", but maybe I should just sit down and write it out, and it will come to me...say in 17 years. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
