I can't add a lot to what has been written here. Obviously, anyone who goes to the trouble of posting to Tolkien message boards is a fan!

Fan is short for FANatic.

While one need not like Tolkien works to the exclusion of other author's efforts, fandom means that the appreciation for Tolkien's work is greater.

In fact, the more I read of other authors, the greater I do appreciate Tolkien's work!
