On a similar note, Charles Noad put together an outline of what The Silmarillion might have looked like had Tolkien finished it in his later life. He explained his reasoning in detail in his essay "On the Construction of 'The Silmarillion'", which is part of the anthology
Tolkien's Legendarium, edited by Verlyn Flieger and Carl F. Hostetter).
