Great story and like the tie-in with your previous LOTR story “it would take like twelve minutes to fly there on eagles.” 😁
Also, I am afraid you are likely a prophet on the fear that Amazon will ‘woke’ the story line. We’ll see two episodes dedicated to the Council of Valar discussion on the proper use of pronouns. There will be much color and gender spectrum diversity among elves while the white-privileged rich dwarves will be the real evil in the land. Sauron aka ‘Steve’ will be portrayed as misunderstood and confused but when s/he casts a spell on itself to go spectrum, Mordor actually becomes Portland and fills with rainbows and all there are told they are happy…or else. And by the way, ‘Steve’ if you believe in open borders, how come your whole land is walled off behind mountains, a 100 foot tall iron gate and you have like 100,000 guards to keep people out? Hmmmmmmm?
I don’t care if anyone wants to write original stories like that. If you find an audience for it, good for you. Just stop ruining cherished stories from my childhood by ‘reimagining’ them to fit a political narrative you want to push. It’s because of doing exactly that, that I have written off Marvel films and TV.
You definitely should. That and THHGTTG are the best humor books ever written. Only way it could have been better is if you had been there to help them.

Typo: “Why don’t you butt out of at?” growled a dwarf.
Oh wow. Only one?
I thought he was writing in an accent.
Heh ... nicely done. Amazon's got its storyline all set: GIRRRRL Power! (With an assist from the Furries) Man a sure winner
Always been funny to me that the most blatant girl power moment in the movies is straight from the book.
Shades of "Bored of the Rings"!
I had not heard of that. May have to check it out.

heh. my dad got it for me back in the 70s. it is definitely NSFW.
"National Lampoon" wrote it
Not to be pedantic but I think it was the Harvard Lampoon. The writers had not as yet founded the National Lampoon. OK, so I was being pedantic.
You are technically correct... the best kind of correct!
