I may have mentioned this before, but did you know that someone wrote a history of the “Chip ‘n’ Dale Rescue Rangers” fandom in the style of the Silmarillion?  Because someone did.

Some samples:

The Telling of the story of the Rangerphiles must ‘er begin where any telling of a Disney World has its start, that of course being with birth of Lord Disney himself. In the year of Mortal Man that they have numbered Nineteen Hundred and One did Walt make his first appearance upon the Mortal Sphere. For Walt, whom was accounted among the tribes a member of the Clan of Disney, was born in the Windy City, a great metropolis of alabaster and marble.


The Nine did witness this, and sang out in chorus. “Lord Disney,” they cried in harmony, “These small ones now possess powers beyond their size! Is it not possible to make other like them? Other creatures whose power lies in determination beyond their strength? Shall we not have more like them, more like the Lesser Mouse Timothy in whom you showed much pleasure in your creation Dumbo?”


Thus was David the Walker able to see what he had set in motion, but he knew then also that not long could he stay ever in Fanon. He had seen the light flowing out at once from Canon, and beholding the light he was now unable to stay for all time in Fanon, and he retreated from that place before the Second Age had ended. Always after though was he remembered, and the Sacred Blueprints of the Rangerdom know his contribution.

Now at the same time that David the Walker was telling his tale of the Rangers it was that odd birds began to fly over Fanon, and many were there then gathered who looked up and spied them, and they made note of them. For in their beaks were Letters of List, for not so great was the Web of Use in those days that all could make use of it. Many were there who could only be made aware of Fanon from these letters, for they made their progress in the Mortal Lands.
