Helky, your first priority should be your spelling. Let's not try Elvish till you get through that. Also, I believe it would be quite hard to translate it into Sindarin only. I think you'll have to slip Quenya words in there every so often.
Niluial, it is impossible not to start sounding like Tolkien since he is the 'king' of fantasy like Elvis is the king of rock and roll. I mean, all books out there have a connection with Tolkien, and good fantasy is written in a style similar to Tolkien. This is just a fanfiction you're talking about, right? So, you don't even have to worry as much as if you were writing a book. Just get a good plot as seperate from any story you know of, make up character names, and start writing! I like creating my character's personalities and the exact events as I go along. I find it comes out best that way. Sometimes you find a new idea in which you have to change something from before, but I don't know if you'd gotten that idea before if you had layed out the events and character's and their behavior. Well, anyway, just advice. I have thought about fanfiction...I might...but, I think I want to shoot for a book. Yep, I'm shooting big...
