In my latest story, a satyr has met this coastal elf...Would it be okay to have a romance between the two or would it sound too odd?
It's a fantasy you can do whatever you please... Nothing should be off limits.

Depends on the world and how you write the story. Could work out great or could be an utter disaster, or somewhere in between.
Okay, thanks!
Satyrs aren't exactly known for their romantic tendencies, but I don't see why you can't have a relationship between two entirely fictional beings.
All experience is good experience, even if it's a bad experience.

LOL I guess this is a unique saytr then!
It does strike me as a little odd, as satyrs are typically much more inclined to pure sex than romance. But hey, why not have one who's asexual, or just less sexual than his/her peers?
...You are going to have to extrapolate a bit on your cultures here. This question doesn't really tell us anything about your story.Originally Posted by Cassia
Like, what the heck is a "coastal elf"? And what is their typical attitude towards satyrs?

You have a unique elven group, the culture you made up, so the same should be said about the satyr.
The stereotypical (mythical)satyr is overly sexual, but like humans, I bet the average satyr is not the stereotype.
Nothing in your world has to be what is already made up in our world.
The satyr could be just a goat legged human, with all the failings a human can have.
The only thing I remember bout grammar is she baked me cookies.

I agree with Severin -- and you can always take aspects of the traditional "satry" but also meld in some of your own. In my story the Satyrs were once a proud and powerful race, but they destroyed themselves through their own hubris. In this case I kept some of the negative qualities, but I did not make them an overtly sexual race since they treated relationships just as humans would.
