Before I even knew anything about LOTR I constructed my world's history, geometry, culture and story line. But there is one big problem: My books have multiple similarities that are almost Identical to LOTR.
First of all my lucifer turned his brother into a deformed creature; this creature (the silver krog) is small emaciated and has two personallities because of the decaying evil mind placed in his that ate up half of it but I won't get into details. anyway he leads them through the enemy land; this character was made before I knew about LOTR and this means only one thing: GOLLUM
secondly there is the character who sacrifices himself for the rest of the world, the son of the king; in disguise. earlier in the books he says he is the heir to a city neighboring the enemies land Krog. Once again this happened before LOTR. What does this sound like: ARAGORN AND GONDOR
thirdly while a small group of about ten sneak past enemy lines to capture the last shield and return it to the king. A large distraction war rages somewhere else. I don't even have to explain this to you.
fourth..um...ly There is an elf; He formerly served as a scribe for the king. He set up a council that rules the plain elves: even their names are similar: Elris...ELROND
There might be a few more but these are the only ones I can remember right now, any advice? And if this was plaigerism I would not be posting it on here. Thanks for reading.
