[QUOTE=Kitanna;527710]I find it very hard to say how Tolkien would feel about these RPGs and fanfics. Because there are many RPGs and fanfictions out there that are not only well-written, but keep the facts and histories of Middle-Earth as they were written. Everything is left in the canon Tolkien established. Perhaps Tolkien would be flattered by these lovers of his work who took their time to keep the facts straight and write something for fun because they love Middle-Earth./QUOTE]

I agree to that. I would expect him to take a great liking to this site aswell.
Though, i believe he would probably cause another 9-11 if he saw some of the parody-videos that are on the internet. I myself can't beleive some of the stuff that people have put out.
