I don't think the talented fantasy authors out there think about Mr. Paolini very much. :p
Oh, I meant to mention before, the borrowing-names-from-Tolkien thing isn't exactly exclusive to poor Christopher here. I know R. A. Savlatore did it a fair bit in his Crimson Phantom novels, and even George R. R. freaking Martin has started doing it in his later book, which is *really* annoying.
On the other hand, Scott Bakker blatantly stole the Mines of Moria sequence for one of his latest books, but he made it so, so, so much more awesome than the original that it makes Tolkien's version feel like a rip-off when I read it. :p Though, unlike Paolini, he admits he did that, and calls it an "homage". A lot of people still get on his case about it, though.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
