Una:

And even my jaded little eyes shot wide open on learning of Tolkien slash recently. I gather 'The Silmarillion' is the preferred setting, since it is darker and you can get more bondage into the stories.

I've only seen LotR slashed and, boy, was some of that squicky...

Actually I'm sure I've said this before, but it seems visual sources (film and television) are much easier to fanfic than written ones, especially where the author has a pronounced prose style. (Americanised hobbits trumps Americanised B7 in my anti-wish list...)
