Re: Outline

I don't see anything wrong with trying to define or even write a new Silmarillion. I would rather have a dozen unsatisfactory attempts to choose from than just one.

In the end it is just a story, and a rich story lives on beyond its first teller, and is retold and rewritten and transformed into a wealth of stories.

If we hold ourselves to an arbitrary moratorium on retelling the story, we impoverish ourselves and our literary heirs.
