*does not write serious fantasy yet, first of all...but when I am old enough to drive at least, I am thinking of starting...*
But I do write fantasy short stories a lot for English (and whenever I have a freewrite in any subject)...
And my writing style is very different from Tolkien's. One quirk I have is that almost all of my stories must be in the first person. My third person writing never turns out as well. I guess because I act, so it is easier for me to get into character and truly write as the character would write if it is first person.
And the themes? No: usually come from my dark, dark mind (for example: a first person short story from the point of view of a mad woman who is about to go on a murder spree...freaked my English teacher out). No problem creating new stories from me. When I create fanfic from Arda though, then I certainly do take the history of the races and Arda into account.
Well: that is what a fourteen year old does!
