As I posted on the ex-thread, when Tolkien was confronted with fanfic he got very angry indeed and referred it to A&U's lawyers (he called the author a "young a-s"). I can't believe that the leader right now is Option 1, what JRRT called his "deplorable cultus," and ascribed to young people of culturally impoverished backgrounds getting "quite drunk" on his writings.
