You LOVE THAT SHIT?

Not too proud to say I laughed out loud.

But I know exactly what you mean. The only thing missing from Tolkien is that kind of self-aware humour. Luckily other writers have been sporking him instead almost since the LOTR books came out.

Noble characters who get gently poked fun at for having human weaknesses is one of my all time favourite themes in other fandoms.

OHOHO I AM SUCH A CLEVERBOOTS. :B You have fallen for my clever joke!

Yeah, Tolkien was never my cup of tea. Not the guy's fault, it was just his flotilla of imitators. I think Terry Pratchett once said that the fantasy genre was almost entirely based around rearranging the furniture in Tolkien's attic, and I have to agree.

Over time, I've grown to enjoy the HUMANNESS of the inhuman more than anything else. It's what I most enjoy to read, and what I most enjoy to write. Anyone can write a bug hive mind and make them creepy and inhuman; I want to write them in a way that you care about and want to be neighbors with.
