Which it is why it has always seemed to me that those who condemn, in the name
of Christ, either fantasy or conlanging (we know they exist) are seriously
confused, to put it charitably, about who is, and who is not, God the Creator.

Posting Tolkien's poem ("we make still by the law in which we're made") to a
fantasy list that I belong to produced an explosion of such stories.
