Hi, I have no clue if this is the correct place to put this, but, I'm making a fantasy game with humans, elves and maybe orcs. Problem is, I don't know the races of elves. All I know are high elves, wood elves, snow elves, dark elves and void elves.
What are all the races of elves?

Ashlyn reveled in the sound of the rushing stream, the pure light glinting off the water. She had missed this: standing in the cool riverbed as the current gently pushed against her ankles. The pebbles and stones beneath her feet were smooth, softened by moss.
Bending down, she picked up a...
What approach do you favor more, using existing characters like 'werewolves' etc, or creating your own characters? Do you find yourselves liking a book that shows deep knowledge of it's genre by using characters in folklore and all, or do you appreciate originality more?
I'm wondering what makes more sense to use. Let's say somebody is a magician of sorts and uses a certain phrase to summon their power. Should it be based off the language I'm writing in, which is English, or should I make it up entirely? That might mean I have to actually flesh out a whole...

Back in the comfort of home, Lanara tended to the bloody wound on Damien's cheek. Around them, the winter feast had turned into heavy celebration. Kallus, Naelen, and Calda all sat by the fire to warm themselves.
Calda had a wool blanket wrapped around her shoulders and a mug of hot tea...
In my d&d homebrew, the story takes place on a series of floating islands about 6-10 miles high. This is a fantasy world that doesn't work like a real planet would, but the sun does rise and fall like normal, 24 hours. My question is would days on the islands be longer/shorter than somewhere on...
I've been churning cra... er, highly intelligent writing for a while now, so thought I'd share some of it here. Why not already.
I mostly write fantasy and scifi, though with some tongue in cheek humour thrown in as well. Also some works that are quite adult. And I don't generally hold...
Hey guys and gals,
As my username suggests (hah!) my name is Dustin Bilyk, and I'm from Saskatoon, Canada. Been writing since the age of five, wrote my first "novel" at the age of eight, and I like to think my writing has improved to a point where it's both readable and enjoyable for genre...
This portfolio will be a collection of notes/ideas on a fantasy world (Vosha) in which 8 races fight for supremacy. It's in its very early stages but I do not want to discourage myself from feedback at this point. Especially because I've had very difficult writer's block these past months.
Thank...
EDIT: to protect myself form plagiarizers, I am no longer posting nearly as many stories here.
Mostly short stories.Short stories about magic and Prince and bodaks. Definitely ridiculous. Possibly strange poems that I wrote with others. Rarely considered: sci fi and dark fantasy. Possible...

"Kallus." Lanara's voice echoed along the walls of the forge. Her husband was occupied with a smithing project, and he was having Damien assist him. Lanara drew Kallus' attention by coming over. "I would like to take the children out to the river."
Now that Lanara was in his...
Does anyone have any hints or tips on the grammatical construction of Hawaiian names? I'm trying to use Hawaiian prefixes and suffixes to create my own names, but I don't want my words to sound inaccurate. Any help would be be appreciated.
Damien sat with Kallus' family at supper. The dining room of the manor was ornate, complete with its own chandelier. Candles were placed along the table as well, glinting off the expensive dinnerware.
Tonight was what Kallus and Lanara deemed to be a special occasion. They prepared a...

"Your mentor didn't seem happy to let you go," Damien said as he trotted along beside Ashlyn. He never had the privilege of riding his own horse before, and he was still getting used to staying in the saddle.
The day was ideal for travel. The air was cool without being chilly...
