A joke led to meandering thoughts that led to an idea I thought might make a good roleplaying game. Further work on the idea led me to conclude it wouldn't work in a roleplaying game because it depended too much on a few big plot twists that are nearly impossible to guide the players to reach at the right time (short of railroading them into them, leaving them little to contribute), so the idea went onto a back burner until one day I decided to try making it into a story. It grew some in the telling, but while I could have made it grow into full novel length, I felt like the story was strongest at novella length -- anything added would be interesting exploration of the setting, but it would ultimately dilute the core story arc.(less)

If you felt like Christopher Tolkien's 12-book analysis of The Silmarillion, Lord of the Rings, and other writings was not dry enough or exhaustive enough, have I got a deal for you!

That said, while John goes very deep with his footnotes-to-footnotes

“Everything is vague to a degree you do not realize till you have tried to make it precise.”

Kim Stanley Robinson
“You’ve located intrinsic worth in the wrong place,” she said to all of them, over the common band. “It’s like a rainbow. Without an observer at a twenty-three-degree angle to the light reflecting off a cloud of spherical droplets, there is no rainbow. The whole universe is like that. Our spirits stand at a twenty-three-degree angle to the universe.”
Kim Stanley Robinson, Blue Mars

J.R.R. Tolkien
“The way is shut. It was made by those who are Dead, and the Dead keep it, until the time comes. The way is shut.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”
James D. Nicoll
