I'm actually thinking of tackling that all elusive Gimili Het romance. Go ahead, laugh. Every other member of the fellowship has their admirers, I happen to like Gimili. 
So, here is the question, do you honestly think a dwarf could find himself attracted to a human woman?
Nope, Not a Mary Sue. She is no fighter, but a head cook in her early thirties. Does this even sound at all interesting?

Well, AFAIK, Gimli seems to have a *thing* for tall blondes... 
And the old saw about the way to a man's heart is probably true for dwarves as well. |

Yes, it sounds interesting! I hope you go forward with it.
All we know of Gimli's romantic proclivities are that, in the book, he falls in love with Galadriel (but in kind of a spiritual "I was all wrong about these elves" kind-of-way) and then, in the film, flirts with Eowyn so, yes, I think your OC has a good chance. And if she can roast meat and brew beer I'd say he's a goner.
And, I'll admit, I have a height prejudice; I would make her petite but strong, personally. |

You're not the first here, Elf-nut gave Gimli an amazon warrior in her story 'Adversity' and did a credible job. And yes, she was petite.
Actually I could imagine that Gimli would consider food to be one of life's priorities. Of course if she were a smith, he might like her even better. Oh, and maybe she should have a beard? |

I wrote a humour piece a while back giving my interpretation of girl-dwarf facial hair (just posted it here; title is Lord of the Glittering Harem and there are no warnings).
I don't think girl dwarves have to be ugly at all (which is usually the next thought after you say "girl with facial hair").
I'm all for Gimli getting some nookie, and your OFC concept sounds marvelous. Run with it! |

First let me say It's great to see someone trying to write a fanfic about DWARVES! By far they're the most neglected, at least I think so  Anyway, dwarves are eligable for marriage about at the age of 100, so I dont know he could have someone he left behind. I know, it's been done 1 million times but my mind draws a blank here. Or... you could kind of record his thoughts about Galadrial. I mean thats about the only thing you can get close to for him falling in love with and elf or a woman, that I cna think of anyway. |
