This is more like smacking a warhead with a hammer until it blows like in Loony Tunes. It is a shockingly suicidal decision with predictable results. He'll be in debt for the rest of his life and should be thankful the Tolkien estate didn't have him flayed for his impudence. Learning about how out of touch with reality the author is does make me curious how unhinged his book might be, though. If it turns out to be "The Room" of lotr fanficfiction I'd like to see it fan canonized just to spite the most litigious family in literature.
