The Plaza has more than a few Tolkien "Fan-fic Girls" in it.
I tend to be leery of Tolkien "Fan-Fic" as I have only seen two that were at all readable.
I will admit that I am an insufferable snob when it comes to Tolkien. I think the canon is sacrosanct, and that ultimately anything written to "fill in holes" needs to abide by a Metaphysical system that is at least coherent (although that presents huge problems, as few people even have that cross their minds when thinking of Tolkien).
But it's literally all I can think about now with Tolkien:
How did Middle-earth WORK?
And I have found that to be a Blasphemy to many Tolkien fans, who seem to want to ignore the very words in HoM-e that I seem to hear the loudest.
