          Yeah but JRRT wrote a whole history textbook and invented a language before most fantasy authors were born.

          Any author in general is gonna bring some literary ass prose to their fetishes. With Tolkien you get an entire world. With Joyce you get 25 ways to describe a fart fetish.
