vardasvapors:

Guys I probably should have made this post ages ago but anyway: if you want an online properly formatted source for Tolkien’s work from which to check facts, copy-paste quotes, or ctrl+F through for references/mentions, in order to make fandoming easier (and better-informed), here’s some:

The Hobbit

The Fellowship of the Ring

The Two Towers

The Return of the King (most unfortunately no Appendices but)

The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen

The Appendices A-F (in pdf so not conveniently formatted, but complete)

The Silmarillion (including index of names and language translations)

The Unfinished Tales

Also, for anyone who wants to look at Tolkien’s other material and stories, since they’re rare to find in libraries and things, there’s:

On Fairy Stories

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil

Smith of Wootton Major

Leaf by Niggle

Farmer Giles of Ham
