My Fair Gamgee by Rosamunde Brownlocks

Story notes: This story was inspired by a fragment written by Politzania on the Straight Dope Message Board thread: "If LOTR had been written by someone else..." She came up with the title "My Fair Gamgee" and the snippet of a song:

All I want is a hole somewhere
Warm and snug out of the night air
And one enormous chair
Oh - wouldn't it be hobbity?

The idea stuck and wouldn't get out of my head - and grew into this adaptation in eight scenes of "My Fair Lady" as "My Fair Gamgee", complete with song parodies and appearances by Merry, Pippin, Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, and other worthies of the Shire. So, my thanks, and credit for the idea to Politzania - and I hope she enjoys what came out of it!

A heartful of thanks to juliawiseuk for her wonderful work at beta'ing - thank you Jules. Thanks also to Hyel for the "Rain in Spain" parody as well as "Hannah's Honeypies"; and to Gilraen for finding a long list of Belgian sayings about the weather. And, last but not least, thanks to all of the writers of the Hilarious Story at Bit of Earth - you made me realize how much I love writing, and I've learned so much from each of you.
