It's all very well separating it into LOTR, Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, etc. but what if you're dealing with an overall theme?

One theme that instantly comes to mind, since for some reason I was thinking about it earlier, was an older thread of Estelyn's (I think) about the power of singing. It involved Luthien (Silmarillion) and Tom Bombadil (LOTR). Where would you put such a topic then?

The problem with categorising a forum like the Books, is that inevitably a topic will fall into more than one category. This would probably make it more confusing for the topic starters, and create more work for the moderators, and overall, achieve little.
