They are more like narratives written by Christopher based entirely off of what JRR had written, but having to be an entirely new text because what Christopher had to work with was either Old (BoLT "Fall of Gondolin) half-done, or fragmented and non-narrative.

That is only true for
The Fall of Gondolin. In
The Fall of Doriath CJRT added a good deal of his owne or Mr. Kay's ideas that had no basis in JRRT writtings at all. And he commented later on this that he whiched he hadn't steped so far ofer boundary of pure editing.

P.S.: Since it created some confusion: All that I wrote in this post is meant for the chapters of "The Silmarillion" as published by Christopher Tolkien (the '77 and 2000 editions are the same in these points).
