@c09f86d3 A point Sir Pterry was very keen on. Although I never liked his Elves; they were actively malicious, whereas to me the best stories about fae aren't that they are bad - or good; just at right-angles to our world, with ethics of their own, and not really interested in us at all. Much as I imagine extraterrestrials will be, should we ever meet any.
@983f49c9 I’m still developing my elves. My fairy realm is predominantly matriarchal and humans at the bottom of the chain in regards to species. Those who know of the human realm go there either as refugees or opportunists. Many humans in the fairy realm are slaves so our realm is a good place to grab some. My MC discovers her late aunt searched for missing persons in the fae realm and brought them home. But someone/something has bumped her off so now it’s become a murder mystery.
