I think that a Tolkien fan is someone who enjoys his works, and in varying degrees lives in Middle Earth! I guess, as the 'Bible and the trilogy' posts prove, you can relate so many aspects of the stories to your life and beliefs. The stories hold wonderful elements of truth with are so in tune with real life.
Being a fan is why we meet on the net like this - only other fans enjoy chatting about Tolkien - it spares our friends and families all that extra boredom when they just don't get it!!!!!!!
