Yes, I know I am doing good, I'm actually enjoying it myself. But, incase u didn't read the poll question, it is going to b lotr with an extra charecter, and my cousin said that would b plagerizm. What do u think? |

No, I don't think that would be plagerizm, to add another charecter.

No, it not that, I'm taking Tolkiens main story line. It HIS maind story line, not mine. So, my question should be, is it not plagerizm because I've said that I'm just using his story line.

As long as you are not copying word for word and have made some changes it is not plagerism.
The problem you might have is copyright. The Tolkien Estate considers what you just described as breaking copyright and that's a huge issue all on it's own.

Ok, so what r u saying? I'm not going to do anything word for word, and it is going to be differant. According to that, r u saying that it is ok, or not ok, or I should check with the copywrite co.? If u r saying I should check with, then I'll just stop writing it. (unless u want 2 check 4 me)

Oheefy, I thought of something. What if I wrote a disclaimer, saying that I was useing his storyline, but changing a little. Would that be okay?

It's worth a try. Maybe if you try contacting the Estate they might be able to provide you some information.

I don't know how to. I know I could probaby write them a letter, but I don't know the address. I tried looking on the book, but couldn't find one.  |

I'm not getting a reply. But, then again, why would he/they care so much about a girl and the story she's writing. He/They probably have better things to do...
