But I did not mean those cringeworthy pieces you have referred to, for two reasons: both because I am blissfully unaware of those, but more importantly, because they are inevitable in a way: have you ever read a bit of slash-fic? The couple of stories I've encountered heavily draw on HoME; but I do not consider them a reason not to have published that series. I was more concerned with the serious fan-art, which becomes heavily influenced by Jackson's world. Inevitable again, once they have become a common denominator of the fans' imagination; but Christopher Tolkien is bound to see, and regret, the impoverishment and narrowing of the horizons of budding fan-artists, and not be thankful for the addition source of inspiration.

I admit that my Middle-earth was shaped by Alan Lee's paintings,

I found it interesting that Christopher Tolkien cited John Howe and Alan Lee

I'm not sure Christopher Tolkien is complaining about any one specific art style...

They got the harbor right, and the ship style, and the direction and the time of day...
