Dear Brane:

Pls to not be writing early history / sociology / anthropology of Tolkien dwarves. Also to not be assigning names in Linnaean system to races of M-E. Or dwarven economics in pre-human-contact times.

Not that I don't want to know these things but the USB key is at home & I have nowhere to save the whole ruddy lot.

Thankee, Brane-sai.

...Great, you've awakened a colony of bunnies in my brain. Members of the various Ardan races whose sexuality is transgressive in some way (some way, rather, that doesn't involve homosexuality, as Eru dammit I've seen enough of that in fanfic). Incest, polygamy, fetishes...I'm not sure how transgressive asexuality would really be in the Tolkienverse...a fun outing for the whole family!

Asexuality would certainly be interesting... a third of dwarves are female, a third are male, and a third LOOK male but are 'neutral'. And the dwarves can tell them apart but no other race can, and doesn't understand why some dwarves are obsessed with gold and others (the one with sex drives) aren't.
