I don't usually read Tolkien fan fic, because I can't imagine it won't be ridiculous and pedestrian compared to canon. This really resonated for me and felt right! Maybe I need to get over my biases.
Goodness— that's high praise, indeed. There's some absolutely amazing Tolkien fanfic out there, at least to my mind. Depending on what you like, or which cultures, perhaps I could point you to some if you cared to read it, but rereading the canon material is what always provides the most inspiration to me. I recently posted about some of my own favorites of my writing, including some Tolkien; you might like The Hours (http://www.thrihyrne.net/TheHours.html); it's pretty short, but I tried to pack a lot into it. And it won some awards. :)
