I have something to say! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
As for whither or not Tolkien would have compleated writting about the End and several other things if he lived another 50 years, I say probably not. His joy was to write and rewrite his stories, and I believe it was in his letters or his biography that a friend of his said that 'once you publish a story, the characters will sort of appear "dead", and as long as you rewrite the stories, the characters will appear living to you' (this is only a simi-quote, as I am sure where the exact quote is)
Anyway, that is my thought on that subject. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

See ya,
