Oh, how I gnash my teeth when even PJ's work is being taken as canon!
The sweet and noble characters, their carefully thought out dialog, wrenched from its paper and torn into pieces!
I have written "fanfiction" for scifi series that were intended as possible outcomes to unfinished storylines, but NEVER will I touch the work of Tolkien. Even if I had spent my life studying the same langauges and mythology that he did I would never consider my work canon.
I despair of what has become to Aragorn (and I know this should be under a movie thread, but I will say it nevertheless)
PJ, what have you done to ARAGORN?!
*pantpant* /end rant.
