Alternative Ending?

[Ardent]

The book has so many endings: The destruction of the Ring, the crowning and wedding of Aragorn, the battle for the Shire, the Grey Havens. Why not go the whole hog and have a narated tale with relevant images of the Fellowship as in Appendix B? ...

The death of Rose with Mayor Samwise passing the Red Book to Elanor and departing for the Havens.
The death of Merry at Edoras, of Thain Peregrin in Minas Tirith.
The death of Aragorn and the departure of Legolas with Gimli to the Havens.

But we need not stop there because there's still:

The handing down of the Red Book through the ages until it comes into the hands of a cryptographer and university professor.
The book falls into the hands of cartoonists.
Peter Jackson searches for the location of Middle Earth but fails to cast the cartoon influence into the Crack of Doom.
The public come to the rescue and push him in before he can make another trilogy.
