Hmm, Homer didn't write the Illiad before Tolkien? Asimov didn't write before Tolkien? Henry David Thoureau didn't write before Tolkien? What about Gulliver's Travels? What about the Three Musketeers? Again, people only think that Tolkien created fantasy because they haven't read enough. Go read some books, Xenic, and get back to me after you're educated on the topic. I mean that in the nicest possible way, of course. I suppose Tolkien created nudity and Star Trek, as well? Give someone else the patent on creation and you steal your own soul.
