* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: The group of rogue Maiar that accompany Melkor and Ungoliant in an early account of the Darkening of Valinor. After assisting Melkor in the theft of the Silmarils and accompanying him when he meets with Ungoliant, they all flee after the destruction of the Two Trees, and never appear again. Although it is mentioned that the Valar found many of these rogues in the Northern regions of Valinor, and slew them, they are mostly forgotten by the time the next part of the story sets in.
** Several characters, both major and minor, also suffer from this throughout the various drafts of the stories.
* [[Write What You Know]]: The Fall of Gondolin from ''The Book of Lost Tales'' is clearly inspired by Tolkien's then-recent experiences in [[World War
* [[Write Who You Know]]: ''The Notion Club Papers'' is an [[Affectionate Parody]] of Tolkien's own experiences with the Inklings. Also, [[Author Avatar|Author Avatars]] Alvin Arundel Lowdham from that story and Alboin Erroll from ''The Lost Road'' are both linguists.
