    Thanks, that’s good info, though I was never really interested in the movies to begin with. I saw the first one mostly through getting dragged along by some friends. I don’t have that big a problem with deviating from the finer details of the book’s plot lines. It’s mostly that the movies couldn’t (or anyway didn’t) capture the books’ sense of grandness.

    I liked this a lot, a fanfiction where Harry Potter finds himself transported to Middle Earth. There are actually quite a lot of those but this one is particularly good. Warning, it’s unfinished, though it doesn’t stop on a cliffhanger or anything like that. It captures Tolkien’s writing style and sweep pretty well.

    This one is also complete and is one of my favorites, but in a totally different style from Tolkien. It says LOTR is revisionist history / elf propaganda, and that Sauron and Mordor were actually the good side of the war. The main character is an orc:
