srsly Tolkien was a chump

  Sarcasm you chumps Jesus the guy wrote Silmarillion in his seventies, a book that had no chance of being a bestseller and he barely lived to finish. Tolkien didn't write because he thought it was a "sweet gig", he wrote because he was a writer. There is this mindset that refuses to believe that any motivation other than money is suspect, the nerd community used to be blessedly free from it.
