Fairly short, but fun. For those that don’t remember: there’s a Tolkien Fandom Oral History Collection project going on out of Marquette University. I just did an interview; I basically just talked about how I got into Tolkien, what he means to me, why he’s important, that sort of thing.
The guy running the project is looking for more folks who can talk about why they’re Tolkien fans, and who can connect via Zoom. You can use this link to find out more about scheduling your own interview. The questions aren’t intrusive, and thinking about the answers beforehand proved good for my own self-awareness. It never hurts to articulate why you love something.
