Note that when I refer to cobbling, I meant other, lesser authors such as Robert Jordan of WoT fame. And
*I* want the Appendices, the books etc to be at least 5000 pages longer.

I feel so frustrated that I cannot follow Frodo to this new land and discover it with him in the same way I discovered Middle-earth. This way of rounding off Frodo's story may have allowed Tolkien not to have to 'kill' him off, it may or may not be a DEM, but either way, it leaves me feeling flipping frustrated, as though I've been left behind, unwanted on this voyage, while at the same time I feel utterly enchanted...

some end, and as I stated before, some of the best writing lets you ponder a bit.
