Re: Myths Transformed, , yea or nay

To Saulotus, I considered it the first time, but all I said was that Tolkien did not publish them because he didn't want too. Ok, maybe he did wnat to publish it, but he didn't because it conflicted too much with what was already out. So he obviously tried to change the story even more so it would work out more the way he wanted it to. It just seems that he never quite finished.

I think the basic problem with taking stories from different books is running into inconsistencies. It may not be noticed right away, but they are there. But I like this idea of prototype versions.
