This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I heard that child Tolkien told his mother he'd "written a story about a green, great dragon" and when his mum told him it had to be a "great, green dragon" he was so put off that he didn't write again for years.
So maybe track down that story?
