11:42 pm - Testaments - An Authors' Note re Entailments
Hello all! We are hard at work putting the finishing touches on Chapter 5, which, for a couple of reasons, was a rather difficult chapter. As one of the things we will be discussing briefly is Frodo's will (or wills) we thought you might be interested in how we came to some decisions about the bequests. So we are posting this Author's Note on it's own. We hope very much to have Chapter 5 up today or tomorrow.

The main work in this particular Author's Note was done by [info]gryffinjack, who researched the matter to discover what the likely arrangements would have been in canon for the bequeathing of assets in the Shire. [info]dreamflower's interpolations (in bold) indicate speculation as to how the information could be worked into the storyline.
