Legalos -- Well, if I had 3,000 fangirls chasing me, I too would not be hot on epic romance!

Bethberry -- Hey, what's wrong with epic romance? In another one of those "core of the onion" allusions or illusions (take your pick!), Tolkien says the Legendarium came to life for him when he saw his fair wife Edith dancing in a glade in Yorkshire. Hence, the birth of Luthien whose story, according to Tolkien, lay at the heart of the Silm. Letters, 417, 420.
