Tolkien briefly met the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond]] during a [[C. S. Lewis]] reading at an [[Inklings]] gathering at [[The Eagle and Child]] of a story that would become ''[[The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe]]''. Tolkien didn't like Lewis' work much, saying that it contained a meaningless mixture of too many mythologies. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Professor, the Queen and the Bookshop (comic story)}}) | |||

Like all humans, Tolkien was resurrected in the [[City of the Saved]]. He served as a [[Philology|philologist]] on a [[Royal Philological Society]] team sent to crack the mystery of the [[Jama'a]] [[Civil Tongue]]. He was surprised to realise they'd incorporated ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' into their myth cycle. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Philology: The Real Professional Bag of Tricks (short story)}}) | |||
