I'm really sorry about that Niluial. Anything that inspires love or admiration is a double-edged sword. It can also lead to a very unhealthy obsession. I can see it from both your and your niece's perspectives because, it galls me to say, I used to be almost exactly like her. Thankfully, my friends stepped in, and nearly had to forcibly get me to go out with them again. I just hope that she gets that same intervention because, as much as I love Tolkien, I never want to go through that phase again.
