Isn't this a bit like asking of the mystery genre, "who is working in the
same vein as Arthur Conan Doyle?"

It seems to me that the only current fantasy writers not furthering the
school of Tolkien are placed in the Horror genre.

Surely all fantasy writers today must say -with apologies to Nixon- "We're
all Tolkienites now".
