Oh, yessss, Silmarillion is more elliptic! For me, the difference is also that Silm is less, hmm, intertwined with the style of writing? Like, it's written in varying tones and there's always a storyteller's distance over it. So it's easier to write fic for it in any style - whereas, with LotR, the prose is very immediate and grand, and I have the need to imitate it but don't have the skill.
