Me too, but it's a tough proposition. The fall of Gondolin has three versions: the one in Lost Tales II, possibly the first story in the mythology to be written down, composed c. 1917. There's a long version in Unfinished Tales, written c. 1951, but it only gets as far as Tuor's arrival in Gondolin, about a fifth of the way through the story. And there's a highly condensed version in the Silmarillion. Expanding the story to novel length would involve rewriting the last 40 pages of the 1917 version in the style of the 1951 version, while updating the names and other details of the mythology.
