So, does that mean I can publish my fan fiction in a for-profit venue? I mean, given what I've heard of this novel (and now that it's squeaked out clean, I should probably read it) it starts with the premise that Middle-earth, its races, and its history are all real, but doesn't use any of Tolkien's actual characters, except for the fictional Tolkien who translated the whole... I'll have to ditch a couple of side characters and side scenes, but otherwise I'm only stealing the races and the setting.

Or do I have to insert myself discovering the material evidence for the stories I've already written to make it squeak by the Estate?
