The Barrow-Wight is a guest of Tom Bombadil.

I dislike conversational fan fictions so much that I stopped accepting them for publishing on the Downs. Reading a story with no description is like listening to talk radio in the dark. The style requires no grammatic skills and such authors typically throw type onto the page as the idea pours out their head. There is seldom continuity, never a true plot, and always pages and pages of nothing said.

There are exceptions in literature (JRRT's "Athrabeth Finrod Ah Andreth" comes to mind), but so far such exceptions haven't been submitted to our proofreaders.
