Tolkien IIRC was more a linguist than an author; LoTR was originally a platform for him to play around with Elvish. I feel like a collaboration would see a Narnia-style series with the linguistic stylings of Tolkien.
FTFYCreates entire languages for Elves -
names mountain Orodruin, which is translated as Mt. Doom, according to good old naming conventions.
What was the likelihood of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien working together on a book? What are the implications if they did?
Tolkien didn't really like Lewis's work since he felt that having creatures from different mythologies in one story was awfull (he took his art very seriously). He also hated allegory.They were close friends; it's actually quite surprising that they did not collaborate.
And on-topic, recall that Tolkien was a compulsive reviser; I think he'd benefit from someone to prod him toward declaring a work complete.
About Tolkien and women, Eowyn takes down a 3,000-year-old undead death machine and his dragon-like mount who had already mortally wounded her uncle and king, while Luthien defies her father and helps trick the Dark Lord out of a jewel in order to marry a man her father had tried to get killed (Beren).
Pretty assertive there.
