Stormdancer of Doom

I must admit to some surprise that after assembling the most complete poll I could, there are still options that I did not account for. Good thing Heren-Istarion included the "Else: Fill-In-The-Blank" vote.
Still, I think this all underlines the necessity of defining terms (yet again). Perhaps we should beg Heren-Istarion to start a separate poll entitled "Which works of Tolkien should be excluded from the Legendarium." Or perhaps "Tone: the defining element or not?" In the meantime, for this poll it would seem that davem has selected the "Else: fill in the blank" final option. True, davem? In the meantime, Bethberry-- you did request the "Works published during the author's lifetime". I wait with baited breath wondering which selection you will choose.
