Although he wasn't strictly part of the Fellowship, I kind of wonder what Bilbo did in Valinor. After spending all those years in Rivendell translating the tales of the First Age, it would have been a thrill to actually meet some of those people! We know that Finrod was back from Mandos, and presumably some others were also by the end of the Third Age. Hopefully Bilbo lived long enough to do this.

Gimli--just think, it may well be that he could be the first dwarf since Durin to actually meet Aulë. I wonder if this would have ever happened...it doesn't seem like it would be against the rules.

Smeagol--Well, Beren did come back from Mandos to live for a while longer, but I'm afraid Smeagol didn't have anyone quite as compelling as Lúthien to plead his case. In any event, someone who voluntarily lived in a dark cave for 500 years might actually like Mandos. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
