FANFICTION IN THE TOLKIEN FANDOM

I just want to make a quick post for all those who write fanfiction for Tolkien....

I’ve seen a couple people stating claims such as:

‘don’t do XYZ’

‘this is X’s personality stop writing X like this’

‘X is canon stop doing Y’

‘This is this persons sexuality, stop making them XYZ’

etc.

Enough.

It is fanfiction! Write whatever you want!

Let the characters do whatever you want them to do.

Let the character have whatever personality you want them to have.

Let the characters have whatever sexuality you want them to have!

Write outside of canon if wish!

It’s fanfiction for fucks sake.

Let the authors have creative freedom within their own damn vision. If you don’t like it, don’t read it!
