one thing to change them all - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, I would definitely change the fact that Middle-Earth doesn't actually exist, except in the hearts and minds of fans. 'Where now the horse and the rider?' indeed.

If only Tolkien had created a world that had spontaneously generated into completion and reality...

I'd like to see alternate LOTR plotlines where the
Fellowship went west to the havens and then by
sea to south of the Angren, and one where they traveled
down River Running to the Sea of Rhun (to the
mountains and the forests around it).
The former would be especially interesting, and
you could still have Merry and Pippin captured,
the Fellowship splitting, etc. It would be
necessary to either relocate Lorien or work
it in some other way.

Edit: And Moria could be located in the White
Mountains.

I would change nothing. I love the books, and I don't think I could read them any other way, than the way they are now.
