As sane as what I am usually gets ... yes. And no.

3. Do you appear in Tolkien's legendarium?
Of course we both know which writings you appear in, so the core
question is whether your autobiography can be counted into Tolkien's
legendarium, and into which category thereof.

Treating this as a yes-or-no question, it boils down to: "Is my
autobiography the work of a Divine Being, i.e., TOLKIEN or MORAMBAR?"
The answer to that is no. I am but their humble Representative on
Earth. But that's the real me, not the 20-questions me.

So you are a possibly sane non-Elf who thinks he probably belongs to the
mineral kingdom, and also a divine being who has written an autobiography.

Not necessarily. I only said that the real me did write an
autobiography and the unreal me wasn't the same as the real me who
wrote an autobiography, not the unreal me itself wrote an
autobiography buy vi4gra n0w oh both3r not the spam sikness again.

No.

But there is also the "Wanderings of Blogambar" tale in which you
appear, which is the work of Morambar, who is Tolkien's mouthpiece and
thus de facto identical with Tolkien, on a literary level. So I would
say there is a category "Tolkien's indirect legendarium", which
comprises works not personally written by Tolkien (i.e. with his own
fingers on his typewriter) but which are nonetheless direct products
of Tolkien's will, with Tolkien's spirit physically present. I base
this assumption on the excellent article about categories in Tolkien's
work by Krähe, Pflanzenteich and Forchscrewdriver, Barftat 1887.

You are more than one "me"? Okay:

Normally I wouldn't accept Barftat sources without thorough vetting
and possibly killing; but you are absolutely correct that MORAMBAR's
works, indeed His every utterance, be it "Mmmhmmm," is sacred canon
and in essence identical to TOLKIEN's sacred Will. One could carry it
even further, and say that any work by an avatar of TOLKIEN counts,
which would include fairly large swathes of world literature and lead
to a long game. But we can't really do that until further study
reveals what is by TOLKIEN and what isn't. So we'll stick to including
MORAMBAR.

Possibly yes, and maybe no, and Dr. Tollmann issued a monograph on the
subject in AT 21.
