Hi, I've been looking to join a FATE game for a long while, and this seems like the perfect opportunity. Doing a FATE middle earth game sounds like a really interesting idea. Tolkien got me started on fantasy ages ago, so I completely appreciate the 'basic respect for Tolkien's world'  - that said, it has been a long while since I read them and I'll probably be quite rusty on details. Would a re-read be pretty much a necessity you think? As for my gaming experience, your basic fare of AD&D, Shadowrun and GURPS in the nineties. Sort of grew bored with that and had a 10-or-so year period with little RPG as I focussed on historical re-enactment. Re-discovered the hobby thanks to (primarily) indy games and currently very enthusiastic about all the new energy and ideas in the hobby.
