Definitely interesting, whether you're on my flist or a writer at all.:-)
Just a brief amused note. Although I do think it might contribute to your thoughts, as it shows that not only the time period, but also the individual's lifestyle influences what we see as slash and what not.
LOL! Defintely--and I think that's a good point because it's not that Frodo and Sam live in a vacuum where what they're doing is nothing anybody could experience today. We can still understand it, I think. We just have to make sure they really are like us before we say they are, so we're not changing them to fit us, imo.
