If there was a writer capable... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

davem, I'm always intrigued and entertained by such posts as you favor us with here. However, you answered the question in terms of which type of story by Tolkien you want; or at least, so it appears to me. Perhaps you would care to answer the question in terms of what type of story by an author capable, would you most like to read? If I must suggest it, think in terms of the categories I've mentioned, with the stories by Tolkien as their illustrations.

EDIT: Ah, I see you've voted anyway, so it's moot (as I expected, too

).
