  because he never wrote the same thing twice there are different versions of middle earth history and facts

  so it really is like scripture with people quoting different facts at each other or quoting from gospels, ie accepted writings about tolkien

  i was foolish and wrote something from real life and in my own words😹

    Gosh, ever read The Silmarillion, that’s scripture at the start. And then you get into his letters and it’s retcons for daaaayyyys. And the insane fans will just rip you to shreds if you haven’t read the letters.

    I’ve read The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and The Lord of The Rings; I’m not gonna read his freaking letters too, or his son’s.

    If you’re able to, get a copy of The Soddit and/or The Sellamillion by Adam Roberts. They’re hilarious parodies that I love too, I still quote The Soddit. Don’t mind the insane fans, they’re ridiculous people lol

      I admit reading books about tolkien’s world as well but not the letters, that’s just crazy
