After five and a half months of an empty website, I have finally uploaded some content: the first public version of Tolkien's Legendarium versus Astronomical Reality. An article two years (!) in the making, detailing all the errors that Tolkien made over the course of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings (all the errors I'm aware of so far, anyway).
The original plan was to post this to every forum from which I took info (so that the original posters will see the mistakes I've pointed out to them), but there ended up being too many of them, so I've contented myself with just TheOneRing.net forums for now.
Comments are welcome, of course. I want to make sure that I'm not the latest in a long line of people who've tried to point out mistakes only to make mistakes themselves (as discussed in the article). Also, if anyone has access to the articles that I mentioned I wanted to have a look at, please let me know.
I put the version as "only" 0.8901 for a reason - I will be making revisions to this in the coming days. Speaking of which, the start of my changelog:
0.8901 (2015-06-17, 23:15 or so)
Added in some missing diacritics in month names and corrected all instances of "Steward's" to "Stewards'"
0.8900 (2015-06-17, about 23:00)
First public release
