Quote from: mr-miley on September 23, 2009, 06:46:10 AMGood question from njeneb. Makes a huge difference between mythological Elves and Tolkien ish Elves. I've always thought of mythological Elves as rather nasty, conceited and selfish, sometimes boarding on the psychopathicaly nasty. Tolkien style Elves however are a completely different kettle of fish. Noble, brave intelligent, immortal, skillful, and terrifying warriors at need (not that I have a soft spot for Tolkiens Elves or anything ) If you want to get into Middle Earth history then the Elves are the firstborn (well, technically the Dwarves were, but they had to be put back to sleep, till the Elves awoke) Orks were created from Elves, as distortions of their beauty and grace, and they bread like rabbits. Definately continue writing about them, whichever type you prefer, it keeps your brain alive and even if you don't publish, at least post a link to some of your stuff here, I'd read it (as would quite a few others here, I would have thought)Miles
