About Me

I am DoctorWellington, a huge fan of Tolkien's works. I am very much a beginner to this website, and though I most likely have many accidental errors, I am trying my best to help. I am very interested in all of Tolkien's works, particularly The Lord of the Rings (In fact I have lost count of how many times I read it). I also enjoy maps (I like to study maps of all kind, fictional or otherwise), and languages, mostly Quenya and Sindarin roots.

Username

I suppose my username needs some explanation. I am not a doctor (a job I could never do, I am haemophobic) and my last name is not Wellington. I'm still not quite sure how I came up with it.

To-do

  • Chapters (especially those of The Silmarillion and other works; I have finished The Lord of the Rings)
    • Infoboxes: Add them
    • Tense: Most chapters seem to have been written in present tense; rewrite in past (including The Hobbit)
    • Links: At various points links are forgotten or reoccur
  • Dates: Add "other versions of the legendarium" with references to The Return of the Shadow, et cetera.

"A fox passing through the wood on business of his own stopped several minutes and sniffed. 'Hobbits!' he thought. 'Well, what next?

He was quite right, but he never found out any more about it."
