When does 'inspired by' become plagiarism? And what might JRRT have regarded as 'messing with' his ideas rather than building on them? Sounds as if you think JRRT would not have enjoyed my "Forgotten History of the Shire' which includes the Peasant's Revolt of SR 1165 - put down with extreme prejudice by the Big Six Hobbit Land-owners supported by mercenary 'peace-keepers' from outside, the Buckland Clearances of SR1208 when the Brandybucks enclosed all their estates forcing almost all their Hobbit tenants to migrate to the abortive attempt to found a Hobbit colony on the north shore of Lake Evendun (few survived the mid-winter treck remembered as the Great Dying, and fewer still the starvation, disease and constant dwarf raids of the Colony's short existence) or the horrors of the Dire Famine of SR 1347-9 resulting from the arrival of potato blight, when many of the "well-to-do" Hobbits including the Sackville-Bagginses chose to sell the corn grown on their estates to an almost equally desperate Dale at extortionate prices rather than make it available to the Shire's food kitchens for destitute hobbits.
