I mean, try comparing 'Hobbit' fanfic about Bilbo and Thorin, to 'The Lord of the Rings'. No fanfic writer would dare write the latter and still call it fanfic...

Most excellent analogy, I wish I'd thought of it. Also with respect to AtF is Spike Bilbo or Thorin?

Thorin - tragic brooding hero who's been deprived of his birthright, but fights desperately to regain it by gathering together a band of reluctant companions. Wants to acquire a mystical sparkly gem, but someone else gets to it first...

Bilbo - enjoying a life of comfort and pleasure before he's reluctantly shaken out of it by the arrival of Thorin, and is forced to join him. At one point appears to be changing sides and betraying Thorin, but isn't really and they end up as friends again.

Hmmm. :-)

(Also, Wesley is clearly Gandalf. I'm not sure whether Illyria and Gollum have much in common, though...)

Precious. How about Gunn for Gollum? Once simple Charles/Smeagol of the ghetto/meadows now corrupted unliving amongst the monsters of the misty mountains (b)eating fissshes.

Neither, he'd be in the first car ouuta there if it ended up being written either way..*g*
