If you like to ponder more on other people of history new & old and how they might have been early forerunners of things to come, like Stephen King being a shedim, why not look here:

Or if you really want Tolkien as History of SR, there is always this one fanmade concept:

I remember that. I thought there was something else. Maybe it was just one of those web pieces from Tom Dowd when Ehran and Harlequin chat, probably the one after Dunkelzahn died. Or Harlequin and Ambrose in VR2.0.

Where can I find those conversations?

Hmm... the only other reference I can recall is from the 'Into the Shadows' anthology with Tailchaser by Paul R.Hume where the Mage Johnson makes a Tolkien joke but seeing as far as I recall Thorn isn't an IE, so I wasn't sure this fits your criteria....

“Indeed. Well, ah, Thorn, we require an expert in, shall we say,
physical security penetration. A burglar, in other words.” The dapper
mage grinned suddenly. “I realize that when a wizard looks for a
burglar, he’s supposed to hire a hobbit. Unfortunately, there are
none available.”
Thorn and the troll protested simultaneously at dragging Tolkien
into the discussion. The 20th-century fantasist was not well regarded
by many metahumans. After the first wave of Goblinization
in 2021, the stereotypes created in The Lord of the Rings had been
used to whip up public distrust of the new races, especially the orks
and trolls. A lot of elves also objected to the “airy fairy” image the
old talespinner had pinned on them.

Edit: there is mention of floor-toceiling
wall murals depicting scenes from the works of
Tolkien and other fantasy authors in the APN building during the Harlequin Adventure, but don't see anyone talking directly about it.

I meant the conversation Harlequin and Ehran had after Dunkelzahn died. I keep hearing about it, but can't find it written anywhere.

nice find

Though nothing really Tolkienesque there.

But at least we can cross that off the list now.
