When reading the books by Tolkien, I can't help but want to be there myself and actually be one of the existing characters (even Sauron). All characters are noble in their own way and everyone has his or her own characteristics that apeal to different people. It sounds sad I know, but when i read the books I start to think 'how can I be more like that person in everyday life?' This is to all the regulars and anyone else: Which character do you admire the most and why? Another thing. In The letters of Tolkien he says that he is working on a story about when Aragorn II and the children go around acting as Orcs (is this correct?) and cults come into it etc. Has this story been published at all? Finally, Tolkien saw himself as an observer of Arda and it's history and not the creator. Would it be right for anyone to publish fictional work on Arda etc?
