With me it was loved the Silm, was just not that interested in LOTR. (I did read some of course, and still do!) However, most of the Silm-fic now, is not something I am interested in. I am following (and re-reading) about 2 stories that are based in the First or Second Age. I’ll be interested to see, though if Amazon’s series brings back writers or a new crop writing well...whatever they cover in the series!
