Diamond18, you have a better way with words than I do. I very much agree with what you've written... it's what I would've written if I could've.
Hey, there you go, an example... I can't write what Diamond18 wrote because I am not her, I am me.. therefore the words come out much differently. Even if people played on what Tolkien has done it would end up being completely different, yet the same.
I've never read any, but I know there are books out there based on Tolkien... I've seen them in the fantasy section... stories of Dark Elves, and Orcs, and such.
Perhaps they would be a good comparison of how other authors just can't step up to Tolkien's plate.
