Alright, I'll admit to being quite confused by this thread and quite intimidated by Manwe's post. But I am going to try to answer something from somewhere on this thread. Note the word try. It does have something to do with an end, maybe not the End, but definately an end.

Somewhere I read about the sequel Tolkien started to write for the Lord of the Rings involvong Eldarion. But also read about why it was never published--or finished. From what I understand, Tolkien had no heart for the story. From what I know about this, I will say no, if Tolkien had lived longer he would not have written more about Middle-Earth. He might have rewritten other stories and added to them, but I doubt he would have written about much more of the future of Middle-Earth. But also, I have not read the Histories, so I could be completely wrong.
