    Summary

    Why do so many in this fandom have such a fascination with Feanor and his sons? Why do these blatant criminals, warmongers, and thieves reliably draw admiration or even love from readers, clearly contrary to their creator's intent?

    Part textual history of the stories of Feanor, his sons, his family, and his angelic enemies as their characters radically changed with Tolkien's increasingly rigid beliefs, part literary analysis, part raging against the gods, part questioning the glories of paradise, this aims to convince the reader that if Feanor the character is a villain, then Feanor the personification of man's rebellion against authority is not, even if Tolkien grew to believe he was. To be drawn to the Feanoreans in spite of Tolkien is to be drawn to Don Quixote in spite of his creator's attempt to bury the character, and with him an ideology.

    Summary

    Shire-folk have debated the origin of hobbits for decades. In his latest book on hobbit lore, Meriadoc Brandybuck, author of Herblore of the Shire and similar titles, Mr Brandybuck proposes an outrageous origin for hobbits as the descendants of elves.

    *

    Crack treated seriously proposing hobbits as the part-elven descendants of Caranthir Fëanorion. Written as if it's the introduction to a longer book by Merry.
