That would be sweet, eh?

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

But if he did, which known but unfinished story would you prefer it to be, and why?

Here's a few suggestions (titles might be real, invented by me or a combination
of the two) - imagine a complete and fully realised novel of one of the following tales:

Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin (or alternately Of Maeglin and the Fall Of Gondolin)

The Tale of Beren & Luthien

(a fully realised) Children Of Hurin

Of the Slaying of the Trees and the Flight of the Noldor

The Akallabeth: the Drowning of Numenor

The Last Alliance and the Fall of Sauron

Of The Making of the Rings of Power and the Ruin of Eriador

Aldarion & Erendis: The Mariner's Wife

The New Shadow

Tar-Elmar

How about-

The Journeys of Aragorn

which I hear the Prof wrote but was lost

I'd like to hear about Bullroarer Took who invented golf and killed the great gobling at the same time.

My choice would be a full length novel about Gondolin. As it is , its one of my favorite things Tolkien wrote. A full length treatment would be heaven.

Unfortunately, that will probably not be happening in our lifetimes.

Well, I think JRRT is meant, not someone else. Tough to say... ah Gondolin would be great indeed... but then so many other choices come to mind!

In any case I think 500 quatloos should be fined for the false thread title
