 |

Can anyone point me to any other writers who have Tolkienish Elves in their work... Besides Dragonlance and Deathgate and aimed at an older reader (more like Jeane Aule than Margret Wiess)?
TIA
Inglor

That's one good question ... and I don't think I've ever found Tolkienesque elves anywhere. I'm thinking about it. Maybe I'll ask hubby, he's read quite a bit of fantasy books ... I'm quite new to the genre.
It's interesting that folklore paints elves as short and ugly and very uninteresting. Reading Tolkien was an eye opener.
Actually ... I gave Panneth a book with the mythological facts behind Tolkien's works and I remember it talked about the roots of Tolkien's elves. I don't remember exactly what it said ... Valinor seemed to be based on Avalon, since they have the same ethimology.
... maybe in some Japanese manga you would find elves, but those are SO twisted  !

Was someone reading my book before me *gasp*?
Actually it's very interesting and links a lot of Tolkien's storylines to the relative mythology he borrowed the ideas from.

I have a series that I'm working on for a while now, and I can say the elf (which he's the last of his race...maybe.) is sort of Tolkienish, but more originally created by me to fit it because it's horror and he's not you're average elf either. If you want to know more, I can post my link to my website. I don't have the stories up yet, but I have his profile on there and the summaries of the stories so you can get a good idea.

I don't remember!!! Ask Panneth, it's in her hands now and a continent away from me ... as I recall it was something about Tolkien and mythology.
And it had a really cool cover  .
