Re: a few additions and new layout
This is a really incredible project!
I really don't think that I could be of much help to you at this conceptual stage.
I have, and have read THE SILMARILLION, THE HOBBIT, THE LORD OF THE RINGS, & UNFINISHED TALES.
I am familiar with these works, but have absolutely no basis for a valid opinion about the HOME or anything beyond what I have read and enjoyed.
The enjoyment, I'm good at. I'd be happy to help out with polishing language, etc.
For a look at a recent effort of mine, try
http://pub22.ezboard.com/bgreatadventuresTHE HOBBITS</a>, where I am attempting a Tolkien Fan Novel. The layout of the board might be of help to you in this project, since I tried to consider the logistics of collaborative writing/editing on EZBOARD.
THE HOBBITS is set in the days after Samwise passes West. Various of his young relations have quite a time in the days of King Elessar and Queen Arwen. I postulate the birth of Eldarion in these days...
There are four chapters completed. I attempt a writing style similar to THE HOBBIT, seeing this as a "bookend" sort of work, coming after LOTR.
The password for the EDITING FORUM, where the outline can be found, is "elediriel."
I don't know if this would be helpful to you or not, but it might be a pleasant diversion, and at least the layout may be useful.
