Pipe Finishing the Lays of Beleriand....?

I've got it in my head that it would be most rewarding to corporately take up virtual pen in hand and, using the alliterative poetic structure established by Tolkien, to attempt to complete the Lay of Beren and Luthien, in alliterative style.

Discussion would of course be necessary to determine which of Tolkien's versions would be best to use, and at which points. Discussion would also be necessary to establish a level of minimum acceptable quality of the work in progress.

The only prerequisites I can think of would be:
  • interest
  • ability in alliterative poetics
  • knowledge & understanding of Tolkien's Lays

So, is there any interest?

And if so, what forum would such an endeavor best belong?
