New Disadvantage: Compulsive Worldbuilding

Lovewyrm · 05-14-2022, 08:48 AM

Did Tolkien really world build that much anyway? (Regarding Dwarf Procreation)
I know the Simarillion is pretty much a design document, but:
I just regarded his works as fairytales that stand on their own, and everything weird or outstanding is fairtytale magic.

Like how witches can turn someone into an oven and the oven can still speak.

Just a beautiful adventure story with a nice ending.
In little need of Authors of prodigious girth needing to go: "But wot wes his tex policy?" to poopoo it.
(yeah personal beef...)
