![]() Hey guys! How's everyone doing?
I remember reading once (in UT I think) that Tolkien intended to write a sequel to LOTR where the men of Gondor turn to the worship of the shadow or something; but, most unfortunately, he sailed to Valinor ![]() Now, I have no idea how to go about this. I'd like to hear your suggestions (if you're interested) as to how we could do it: for example: each person does a chapter or each person suggests a plot and we elaborate on the most popular one etc... Any suggestions? |

Is this "Sequal" a real thing Tolkien intended? Where was this written, im sure that if any more was to be writen Christopher Tolkien would have known of it. He wouldn't of known what to write but he would be able to confirm any further writings. I personaly would like to see more written more on the histories like actuall stories not historical accounts like silmarillion. a full story of beren and luthien, full stories of the houses of Rohan and their history.

Great idea, Beren3000!
![]() I don't know how you people are doing with the LotR-project; do you have any energy left for another one? ![]()

He started one; it's in one of the HoME books, I think - I'll try to find it.

It's called "The New Shadow", and it's in HoME 12, The Peoples of Middle Earth. It's about 8 pages long.

Sounds like a repeat of Akallabeth. I think I'd have fun joining in unofficially writing it.

Really! I never knew he got to actually write it,RÃ*an. But even so, we can use these 8 pages as a starting point and make (do I dare say it?) a full-length story.

So, suggestions anyone? I have a basic outline of the story in my head but I want to hear some suggestions first, as I'm sure there would be ideas much better than mine.

![]() Hate to be TOO much of a 'wet blanket' - but I don't think JRRT ran out of time on this one. I think he just concluded it would be 'anti-climactic' - and elected not to write it.
Do you think you can make it work with a 'group effort' though? I'm sort of leery on that one with a writing project. If you want to make a go of it though, best wishes! ![]()

![]() I guess you're right, though. It would've been kinda anticlimatic to Tolkien...but not to the mooters ![]() |

Oh! The story I have in mind is set long after the time of Beregond (or his son, for that matter). Since nobody posted any ideas (and since I unfortunately don't have access to the HOME series and "The New Shadow" novella), I'm going to post the outline of the story I have in mind. Please bear with me, I know the following will sound farfetched and maybe childish. Anyway, here goes:
Aragorn sets up a temple in Gondor for the worship of Eru and the Valar. Many generations after that, the priests baffle the people with mystic rites in order to gain political and social power. Then, one man of Gondor gets visions of an angel-like being in his dreams advising him on how to restore order and true religion to Gondor (and Middle-Earth). This Luther King figure leads a rebellion and drives the priests away and sets up a new and sincere worship of the Valar. Meanwhile, the priests escape Gondor and reach Harad. In Harad, they are seduced and blinded by power so that they perform some satanic rites to restore Morgoth to a human shape. From then on, wars rage between the Men and Morgoth. The men being helpless against his powers call on the Valar who come to their help themselves fighting Dagor Dagorath and bringing about the end of days... I can see you laughing your heads off and pointing at the screen with scorn, but hey! I asked for suggestions and got none so I had to come up with something! Anyway, thoughts ??? |

Well, I just noticed this thing, and I like the idea, and I havent read the part in HOME 12, but I think you could do something with those two wily blue wizards that went east. They could be evil too, hell, they are already Maiar, so it aint too much of a leap to be evil Maiar (I mean, look at these suckers, Balrogs, Sauron, Saruman, Tim, the list is endless) ( there are good ones too, but dang! )
