“It [The Lord of the Rings] is finished, if still partly unrevised, and is, I suppose, in a condition which a reader could read, if he did not wilt at the sight of it…now I look at it, the magnitude of the disaster is apparent to me. My work has escaped from my control, and I have produced a monster: an immensely long, complex, rather bitter, and very terrifying romance, quite unfit for children (if fit for anybody); and it is not really a sequel to The Hobbit, but to The Silmarillion.”

— J.R.R. Tolkien to Sir Stanley Unwin, 24 February 1950. Reprinted in The Fall of Gondolin

What writer hasn’t finished their first draft and thought, “the magnitude of the disaster is apparent to me”?

I FOUND THE FULL ONE AND ITS SO MUCH MORE CHAOTIC.

HYRULE SHOOK ME TO MY CORE!

THIS WORD HAS TWO KINGDOMS RULES BY A BEING IN A TOWER!

The existence of Oz and Neverland is wild too. Does this mean that there is a REAL Earth outside of this? Could Wendy hang out in Westeros?

The placement of Middle-earth suggests that during the events of LotR Sauron’s orcs were supplemented by armies raised from Wonderland, Whoville, Terebithia, and Moomin Valley. Corsairs from Moomin Valley terrorized the south coast of Gondor during the war. Before the fall of the North Kingdom it was harried by foes from the north, led by the dreaded Witch-king of Oz.

And on the topic of Oz, apparently the Telmarines also originated there, which both explains and raises questions about their aversion to anything supernatural. Never Neverland seems to be in about the same place as the Lone Islands. Let’s dig into the political ramifications of that being a territory under the authority of the monarch of Narnia. Missed the part in VotDT where they had to sail around Westeros – must have passed it during the Dark Island adventure. Also where do I unlock the Forbidden The Horse and His Boy where they have to escape from Wonderland instead of Calormen?

In the King’s Letter, contained in the unpublished “Epilogue”, King Elessar refers to Sam as Perhael (i sennui Panthael estathar aen), Sindarin for “Halfwise (who should rather be called Fullwise).”
