Tolkien foreshadows that the Fourth Age, after Aragorn's death, had quite a story to offer with the arisal of a sort of Sauron cult - he actually started writing one, but soon abandoned it.
And there are certainly other places or times where events are only hinted at that I would have loved to read more about - the awakening of Mortals and their flight westwards, Númenor, the taking of the Dwarven rings,...
However, I don't think there is any room for new writers to stuff their stories into perceived holes in Middle-earth. For me, Middle-earth is not a world open for adventures, but a hidden truth to uncover bit by bit.
And finally, just to contradict myself a little, I do enjoy (and use) efforts by others to reconstruct linguistic truths and interpolate grammar and vocabulary (such as "Neo-Sindarin", "Neo-Quenya").
