Howdy! (me, bridge/bridgefag) 

> I regularly re-read The Hobbit because it's the first book I ever read, and most of that book is Bilbo and the Dwarves' various brushes with death, but I find it exceedingly comfy.
We are on the same page then. 

> although before you pointing that out I had just assumed it was British (or Received Pronunciation, I'm in a pedantic mood) to make her sound 'posh'. 
Technically, the history of that accent is trying to emulate a British accent to sound posh, so yeah, in a way it is, just a specific way. 

> but then again that's mostly because the nature of petrification itself begs rather a lot of questions in terms of specifics to begin with. 
Completely agreed. I think I will revisit this when we get to Return of Harmony (even if that probably is a different type of magic involved.)

>  real children are annoying, so realistic child characters might well be too!
Or at least can be annoying or boring. I think there is certain aspects of child centric thought/POV that are overlooked BUT if you are going for the average child that moderately relates to a 21st century  westerner this still might apply. Innocence and wonder versus mischievousness and... hyperactivity. I might be opening a whole can of worms with that. 

> It might be prudent given current events to namefag...
Your call. Namefaging for these reviews might make sense depending on activity. I wouldn't count it as violating our softer anon rules as this is a project. 

> like the anonymous hivemind had developed a case of schizophrenia. 
I think the reviews themselves are easy enough to follow along but some of the back and forth conversation might be confusing. It very well could be a necessary measure depending on how "recent events" go down and if this thread gets some random participation thrown in or other anons join along.
