how do you feel about using tolkien created things in a novel. i know of some games that have halfings in them, but what about using the name "hobbit"?

Personally I avoid it whenever possible, mainly becuase I want everything in my story to be my own, not anyone elses, and also I don't want to be accused of copying, when that is what I fight so hard against.
