Nope, not really.
It isn't so much about "who I am". If you said it was about "what I like" you'd be closer to the mark.
And the only good reason NOT to write Tolkienesque Fantasy I've heard is that it doesn't sell. Don't give me any of that blarney about originality. I don't feel a burning need to be more original than Tolkien, who borrowed extensively from Norse, English (/Anglo-Saxon) and Celtic lore. Ultimately, THE reason to avoid Tolkienesque Fantasy is because the editors wont bother with you if you do. That's what I've taken away from this discussion, at any rate.
In fact, because of this discussion, I'm thinking that my novels, at least initially, will have to take place in the human nations of the world, and will generally have to ignore the large Fay portion. The world is big enough to not HAVE to include the Elves in any stories I should need to write. And I could just as easily leave out Orcs or any other more traditional "bad guy", though I'm still not entirely sure I want to. Leave off Orcs, maybe.
Would editors have just as big of a problem with me if I used trolls or ogres?
My policy is that, if you're looking for something to fit a world-building "gap", for example, you've come up with a creature or race or something, that you want to have look and act a certain way to fill a certain world-"niche", see if there's already one out there in the [public domain] that you can use. If there's already one that fits perfectly, use it. If not, invent your own.
This is why we [I confess - "my" world is actually a group effort] have some standard races, and then others which are very different, such as the "K'Sharr".
But I guess the default in the Fantasy world today is that there's something wrong with using the Fay and Dragons and the ilk. We've heard those words too often, so we'd prefer it if people invented things that served the same function and were named differently.
While I'm at it:
What is it with Fantasy and prophecies? Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth, Darksword . . . it seems that practically (if not actually) a majority of Fantasy novels deal with prophecies. Why? I find the whole prophecy shindig getting older than Elves or Orcs.
...or has this topic already been discussed?
