Completely agree!

And yes, I have included Tolkien in my work over the years. This thread has come at a good time - I'm just sorting out my school books from September 2000 to now! I've noticed Tolkien started creeping in from 2003 onwards.

At the moment, I can only find little scraps. Things such as a piece of Quenya scribbled across the top of my work in Angerthas runes, stating that I am King under the Mountain or whatever. I'm sure I'll uncover something more interesting though, and will tell you when I do!

I also noticed that I changed my Quenya name a lot back then. Originally I just adopted "Aranwe" because I liked the meaning (Kingly person) and for some reason, Glamrist was my surname... Anywho, a lot of work would be signed by my Elvish alias, along with my English name. Yes, the teachers thought me odd...

Ah, I just found some scrawlings in the back of my German book, with little drawings labelled in Quenya.

What Encaitare is doing is not plagiarism, it is actually very nice. Most of my school compositions have a lot of Tolkien references, even if some can be spotted only by true fans. And once at an English competition I had to describe an ideal teacher. I described Aragorn, because I have learned a lot from him and I am still learning. You should have seen what face my English teacher made when I told her what I had done.

I am always using Tolkien's characters in my exams. I was writing about love and just had to write a bit about Luthien and Beren.

The marker for that exam was not a Tolkien fan: no wonder I got an average grade.

As for plagiarism, I put a footnote at the bottom of the page.
