 |
|
I've worked on my non-Mary Sue OFC for a while now and I think I'm ready to start writing the story, but I need some situation for the beginning that would cause her and Frodo to detest each other...? I've pondered, but I can't think of much.
Any ideas? |

She took away his food? Interrupted one of his breakfasts? Waited until he was asleep and then shaved his feet and painted his toenails? 
I'm kidding - maybe she's one of the residents of Hobbiton who think that Uncle Bilbo is the resident weirdo? There were quite a few who thought he was strange for disappearing with a wizard and a bunch of Dwarves then reappearing later. And he already had a bad rep because of his Dad and the Old Took. Being descended from unusual Hobbits and all. Maybe she heard one too many kooky Bilbo stories from her parents and was disapproving of him. Sorry, that's all I could think of.  |

Maybe she had played a trick on him before? Or maybe Frodo saw her as this snotty rich girl and she saw him as this boorish peasant boy.. It must tie in with your story though, so I don't know whether that helps..

Fell out of a tree on him? Frodo did like to sit under trees a lot. ::laughs:: Maybe she broke his neck! Or...stole his ale...or his clothes when he was out skinny dipping some time

Not enough information ... How old is Frodo in your fic? At what stage of life is he?
That would tell us a lot, like where he was living (Brandy hall or Bag End?) and what he was likely to be doing (acting like a tween or someone about to come of age and living with a rich uncle?).
Fill us in a little more.

Pretty sure no one ever saw Frodo as a peasant boy - he was a scion of two very well-respected and wealthy families, the Brandybucks and The Bagginses. He would have lived well and had a good education. Probably expensive clothes, too - though likely he put a few holes in them as youngster. To think of Buckland as the country and Frodo as an 'orphan' are misleading - Buckland was rich little village and Frodo lived there amongst many cousins, aunts and uncles; he was well taken care of.
Sorry about the pedantic tone.
