I am also on fictionpress: http://www.fictionpress.com/~xxshirelilyxx

For those of you who used to know me, my old penname was "Frodo's girl" and I had a story called "The Choices (and Adventures) of Miss Krista." That story has been deleted of fanfiction.net and I've decided not to post it on this webiste any longer, since it does go against the rules and I would rather not go through that again.

As for the stories that I have on here...

Trial for Love (LOTR): This is co-written by Arialas, by the way. She's been an amazing help during the process of writing this so kudos to her! It's about a young woman, Lexie, who leaves her house on her way to med school and finds a baby basket on her doorstep. We all know that the baby, Holly, is a hobbit, but Lexie and her boyfriend/fiance/husband (Aaron) have no idea. So what's it like raising a hobbit child? And what happens when the court tries to take her away?

Frodomances (LOTR): This is a C2 group, not an actual story. And the title pretty much gives it all away... this is for all those wonderful stories out there that have FrodoOC as the main story. If you have written/know about a story that would fit here, please let me know! I'm also looking for staff members, so please tell me if you'd like to join!

FAQ

So, I'd like to have a FAQ section here... to clear up confusion or whatever about either of my stories (or Frodomances, too, I guess). If anyone's actually reading my profile, and they have a question they'd like to have on here, please let me know! For now, I'm just going to guess at what's making your heads itch.

Lexie and Holly Story

What does Lexie look like? What about Aaron? Holly? Lexie is tall, about 5'9" and she's really skinny, almost boyish. She hardly has a figure at all. Her hair used to be down to her waist, but when she went to med school she cut it off to her shoulders. It's a dirty blonde and it's curly... except more frizzy than curly. She has light blue eyes.

Aaron is also very tall, at about 6'3". He has messy, wavy brown hair that's not long and not short. Medium-ish, like just to the tips of his ears. Aaron has very bright green eyes and a big smile. He also has a sprinkling of freckles across his nose. Basically he's like a grown-up version of one of those little Irish immigrant boys from the 1900s. He's very boyish in everything - his looks, his personality, his likes/dislikes, just about everything.

As for Holly, we don't know what she looks like yet in the story, but I'll let you in on some secrets. She has medium brown curly hair, just like all hobbits, and dark blue eyes. She's very smily, too. She's also very short, being a hobbit and all, so she's 3'8" when she's full grown.

Why aren't Lexie and Aaron married? Yay! This won't have to be a question anymore! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, kindly refer to chapter four.

How did Holly get to modern Earth? Well, I'm not exactly sure. She was sent here because she'll be needed in Middle Earth when she's older. Someone (in my head I think Galadriel, even though I know it's extremely cliche) foresaw her future and saw that if she stayed in the Shire (where she was born) she would die. So, Holly was sent into the future to be protected. When the time comes, she'll be sent back to Middle Earth.

Will there be a sequel? Yes. Probably one that directly follows up on "Trial for Love" that's still co-written with Arialas. But I also have a little pet project that I'll write by myself about Holly and her adventures once she returns to the Shire. Arialas is opposed to the whole girl-falls-into-Middle-Earth thing, but I'd like to write one. She won't be joining the Fellowship, though... I have a different idea for her!

What's Aaron and Lexie's backstory? Like, how did they meet? Arialas and I have written a story about this one... scroll down a bit to find my fictionpress account - since there's nothing fanfiction about this story, it's on that site. If you're a Trial for Love fan, you'll LOVE this story! It's called 'Starless Night' and it's just in the beginning of writing it, but if you'd like more background info on this couple, please check it out!

Frodomances

How can I get my FrodoOC story into it? Just email me/PM me/send a review!

Do you accept a really well-written story that doesn't involve Frodo and an OC? Nope. I am slightly flexible when it comes to Frodo and a frienship story, though. It doesn't necessarily have to be a romantic relationship. As long as the story mainly focuses on Frodo and an OC character, tell me about it!

P.S. Here are some cool quotes I'd like to put on here.

Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

You are a product of your choices, not of your circumstances.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference. - Reinhold Niebuhr, The Serenity Prayer

Don't be content with being average - average is as close to the bottom as it is to the top.

Don't forget that only dead fish swim with the stream.

I have often regreted my speach; never my silence. - Xenocrates

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward.

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

All she wants is someone who will treat her right. Someone that will call her beautiful when she needs it the most. Someone who will love her endlessly.

Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go what you can't change .

You're not friends because you sit together at lunch, or talk on the phone, or have matching flip-flops, or can recite each other's wardrobe. You're best freinds becasue when she smiles, a grin forces itself across your face. No matter how mad you are, when she cries you instantly feel her pain and want to cry with her. When you look her in the eyes you know there's no one you could ever trust more... regardless of how many broken hearts you've had. That's what it means to be best friends.

I can't promise that I can solve all your problems, but I can promise that you won't have to go through them alone.

I'm sorry that I'll never be good enough for you... but I'm even more sorry for even trying and for caring.

Unless you could see inside my heart, you will never know how he makes me feel.

You might not always end up where you want to be, but you'll always end up where you're meant to be.

It takes years to gain trust, but only a few seconds to lose it.

There are just certain people who aren't meant to fit in your life, no matter how badly you want them to.

If he caught you staring, at least you knew he was looking back.

For every girl with a broken heart, there will be a boy with a glue gun.

I'm not a jealous person. It's just that whenever any girl gives you a second look, it kills me to think that you might give them a chance to get to know just how amazing you are.

You're my colored picture in this world of black and white.

You're the only one who makes me draw stupid hearts in the margins of my paper.

I'm not afraid to tell you that I love you. I'm just afraid of what you'll say next.

It's those things you hate about yourself that someday someone will love about you.

It all comes down to the last person you think about before you fall asleep.

The next time you think you're falling in love, smash your head into the wall; it will hurt less in the end.

I want someone who won't care that I hate wearing shoes, that I'm incapable of sitting still, that I can't grasp the concept of cleaning, and I refuse to be ladylike. Someone who realizes that half the decisions I make are usually ones I regret, and I have the right to overreact and obsess at any given moment. I want someone who knows how completely insane I am, and he wouldn't want me any other way.

(The ones below are all my favorite senior quotes from my yearbook!)

Don't cry because it's over - smile because it happened.

Every moment is another chance.

Silence is golden, but shouting is fun!

Some mistakes in life are way too much fun to do once.

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

Glass half full, glass half empty, just happy to have a glass.

I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

Don't wish upon a star, reach for one.

It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

What are all those football players doing on the marching field?

If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

Laugh often, love much, and enjoy the dance that is life.

Be the Fruit Loop in a world of Cheerios.

Never forget to remember.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you end up in the stars.

Faith is taking a step without seeing the whole staircase.

When it's dark enough, you can see the stars.

If life deals you a bad hand, cheat!

If you argue correctly, you are never wrong.

Before I run out of space, I've got a great quote: "With gr

If you can't find something to live for, you best find something to die for.

When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Procrastination is an art I'll master tomorrow.

I intend to live forever or die trying.

I'm not crazy, I'm a dinosaur!

Ok. That's all. By now you're all bored to death by Ellie's quotes! I think they're cute... so I wanted to share them with you... But if you do like them, keep checking back on my profile cause I add new ones all the time!
