Elves on the brain.

[krait]

I'm stuck on elves again. (This is a thing that happens to me periodically, I've learned. Although no, I haven't learned why it happens.) In the last month, I have:

* gone on a Forgotten Realms fanfic binge
* reread Salvatore's dark elf prequel trilogy (Homeland, Exile, & Soujourn)
* recced a bunch of Forgotten Realms fanfic
* started rereading Brust's Hawk
* purchased Vallista to follow it up with
* reread three Sidhe novels by Josepha Sherman
* read a bunch of LOTR fanfic
* watched 8 hours of LOTR films
* thought about going to the library for the LOTR books
* gone looking for my bootlegged Record of Lodoss War episodes

Oh, yeah, and

* acquired an elf-themed icon

So... send help?

And by help I definitely mean recs for elf-centric canons and fic. :D There must be things out there I haven't read yet! Save me from having to resort to Mercedes Lackey rereads, friends. :D

(As a side note, who has Sapkowski's Blood of Elves waiting in the to-be-read pile? Yeah, it's me! I've been meaning to pick up the Witcher novels for about a year now, before Netflix decided to make it a show; having elves in the title should bump it up the stack!)

"Background" was sort of the impression I got of Witcher elves, so I'm glad to hear that at least they get some in-depth background. *moves BoE up another notch*

Sadly I don't own a videogame console newer than the PS2, so the games are out, but I might look up a few playthrough videos on Youtube. (Though nothing can possibly top this one.) :D Dragon Age likewise, but I know enough about it through fandom osmosis that I've read fic for it, so fic recs are welcome if you have any good elf-centric DA fic faces!

Somehow I have not yet read TGE, so that one will definitely go on the list! Thanks!

Elfquest, of course! What a good idea. I remember reading a few Elfquest books back in the day (there were elves... with four fingers... and soulbonded wolves? in one of them! It was like teenaged!me's id glued between covers.)

If you have a Windows machine, the games play on that! If you have a Mac, sorry. :-)

The drunk witchers "quest" was hilarious. I didn't go quite all the way in my game play to the crossdressing, but I saw the clips!
