There is something to be said for the public domain superheroes and that is they don't get anywhere near the recognition they deserve.

It is essentially those books written in the perspective of the characters and a different font, with perhaps some new art, insofar as I can gather.

Does the Red Book of Westmarch have any one to one real world equivalent or is it just the series as a whole?

I know what the first two names are, obviously, so let me guess "Chase" is your name?

Maybe we would see more mythical figures. Santa is already known to exist, which easily opens the door for things such as the Easter Bunny, Cupid, perhaps even The Grim Reaper.

What if instead of the deplorable word killing everything, it instead sent them to one of these other worlds?

The text of The Hobbit that I am reading starts off with, I guess, a rundown of publication errors, such as incorrect translations of the runes on Thror's map. Also, entire chapters apparently have some problems. Of course, I have not read the whole thing or different versions to be sure, but...

I never knew he dedicated the letters to Tolkien. I'd be interested in an Inklings biography.

Are there "inaccuracies" in the LOTR as there are in The Hobbit?

I would also posit that - unless otherwise stated - the stories exist outside of the parameters of the real world.

I would imagine this has a bit to do with the fact that the genre is fiction.

Good. Boromir surviving longer is nothing but a plus.

I take issue with people who claim that "originality" is dead. We have seen many things done before, but that does not mean that everything that is similar to any of those things is also derivative of them.

I, for one, welcome any and all perspectives on all things Narnia. For Aslan!

I'd say the smaller forums tend to be as good as it gets, such as this one. Of course, I haven't seen divisive issues being brought up here, so that could be incorrect.

What we are desperately seeking with online discourse is a space where all viewpoints are accepted and discussed reasonably. A space in which all viewpoints are accepted, but some are met with attacks, or are otherwise shouted down, is not particularly helpful or innovative. That said, I also...

I wonder if the userbase is the same, though. How are the arguments on MeWe?

I was reluctant to join Facebook with good reason, so I have not branched out too much in to other social media. What exactly happens on "MeWe.com"?

"Known elsewhere." Where?
