What is wrong with having a try for one's own satisfaction? Tolkein did this, thinking that knobody would have any interest in his work. Anyway, as I said, it would have to be an intelligent person with at least a highly respected college degree (perhaps a PhD even) with lots of desire to stand a realistic chance of reaching the level of intricacy & literacy required.
