Before Lord of the Rings, I'd dabbled in writing without ever completing anything, but I've since finished a dozen or so fanfic stories, so I would have to say that the trilogy has been my inspiration.
I have an original fic. in the pipeline and none of the characters are LOTR inspired, but I would say that LOTR definitely gave me the motivation to write.

I have written fanfic before, and been a professional writer (mostly non-fiction); but I hadn't done fanfic in over 10 years when I saw the LOTR movies and discovered LOTR fanfiction online. I was amazed to find that not only had people written stories about my favorite human character in the books, Faramir, but they'd written quite a lot of it! I've probably read most of the decent-to-great Faramir fics on the Net; and happily anticipate more. I never thought I could actually write fanfiction based on JRRT's characters; but I started about a year ago (with my own fanfic, earlier with co-written material)and it's become quite the obsession. I've written short pieces (100-700 words) about characters other than Faramir, but he's the character who intrigues me the most. I've written movie-Faramir, who I regard as somewhat different in character from his book counterpart, and book-Faramir. I tend to prefer writing the latter. I have two good-sized short stories in draft status; and many plotbunnies awaiting my attention...Not to mention the movie/book blended AU Fourth Age epic that I co-write and have to get back to....

I haven't written any original fiction; just nonfiction articles, and fanfiction, and one thing that was fanfiction but not Tolkien-based - for details on the latter, email me.
Is your original fic science fiction or fantasy or RL-based?

Sorry Raksha - I misread your first post. I'd be interested in reading any of your stuff tho. My original fic is totally "RL" based. One day I'll get LOTR out of my head and do it. (I'm half asleep atm which is why your post says it was edited - I hit modify instead of quote and did my post on yours! I'm so out of it that I didn't even think about it when there was no option to post,, just to modify! Sorry. I thought I'd tell you in case you went mad trying to remember when you edited. )
