Now, good Sandman, I must disagree. If you use an author as your template, that does not in any way mean that you will use the same writing style as them, or even (in Tolkien's case) work outside of reality. One could easily write as rational story about a hopeless struggle in the middle of NYC, and use Tolkien as a template without making their tale fantasy. Am I correct?
