Fantasy worlds with bearded elves **(please read the description)**
I notice that most fantasy worlds feature elves that either cannot grow facial hair or at the very least don't often. The only fantasy worlds with bearded elves that I know of are: Middle Earth- There are one or two bearded elves, but it's uncommon overall Nirn (Elder Scrolls)- Bearded elves...- S.T. Ockenner

Stallyeks (S.T. Ockenner + Sheilawisz)
Stallyeks! These dangerous Stallyek monsters are somewhat similar to a squirrel, except that they have very large and pointy ears, very long straight horns, a protruding snout and when standing on their hind legs they are over three meters tall! The Stallyek has nightmarish claws and very sharp...- S.T. Ockenner

What are some good side quests?
In one of my latest books I want a list of side quests so that, if the story just gets a bit bland and boring: such as walking though a forest, I can add in something to break it up. The story is set in Medieval fantasy and my characters in the group are and elf, a dwarf, a wizard, and a human...- Toby Johnson

Escaping the "Tolkien Trap"
I love J.R.R. Tolkien. He is an incredible writer and an extremely creative world-builder. It was his writing that inspired me to turn my creative energies to fantasy writing. That said... Do you find yourself defaulting back on Tolkien's pre-established tropes and race archetypes? I know I...- P.A. Trujillo

Greetings from Aeteurnia
Hails to all those scribes of the of the mind, reflecting the realms seen, and unseen. I am a fairly recently self published writer, presenting a quite groundbreaking concept, that along with those somewhat more expected influences, Tolkien, Lewis etc, I am also heavily influenced by much older...- S.G Smith

Prologue
A little six-year-old girl called River Greene sat perched upon her bed, a pouting expression on her face as her slightly-blurry gaze skimmed across the books on her bookshelves. With a dramatic sigh, she fell back and groaned in an oddly sing-song tone, “Bored, bored, bored!” Just then, her...- Feith

Aelf Orkhe Comparison
I also wanted the different races to have differing body types. Orkhes are solid and stocky, built like power lifters, or MMA fighters, while Aelfs are lean with slightly longer limbs and shorter bodies to facilitate moving through trees and forests.- Hainted
