Topic: Things for the Non-Elven to Keep in Mind, a list
Because it was building up in my head, and this forum seemed as good a place as any for it. Some vaguely spoilery references. Feel free to continue it.

1. I will not encourage Selvetargtlin to yell their god’s name during sex.

2. The High Hunt is not an orgy…

3. … no matter what the Nightshadows say.

4. Eilistraeens do not give out prizes to High Hunted who manage to stay away from them for a given amount of time.

5. If I go to an Eilistraeen expecting such a prize, I deserve whatever I get.

6. Also, they are not cheap for this. The money saved goes into having a bigger Widows and Orphans fund than the Malarites.

7. Corellon Larethian’s kids are not Larethians.

8. His grandson definitely isn’t.

9. When elves refer to me as "not-person" they are not intentionally insulting me.

10. Usually.

11. I will not bring moonblades within fifty feet of Elaith Craulnober.

12. Ignorance is not an excuse.

13. Also, comparisons with githyanki are not welcome.

14. I will not try to hack a moonblade anywhere near Elaith Craulnober.

15. Even if he told me to.

That short story still makes me go "WTF?" I mean, really, what?

For the peanut gallery, REAL SPOILERS NOW.

Well, at least he kinda followed through on his... logic by showing himself willing to be moonblade charbroil, even if he ended up backing out.

And here's another batch:

16. I will not ask, "No, seriously, what kind of elf is the Srinshee?"

17. Same goes for Fflar.

18. Labelas Enoreth is not up for a spot of havoc.

19. Nor is Labelas Enoreth up for armwrestling dwarven gods.

20. And Labelas Enoreth certainly is not up for melting Selune's relics.

21. In fact, Labelas Enoreth would like us to please forget about the "Ruathym Incident" entirely.

22. What Ruathym Incident?

23. I will not make "harem" cracks about Corellon and Angharradh.

24. I will not insinuate that Sharess cursed Vhaeraun with performance issues.

25. I will not write up a comparison of orc and elf reproduction and the divine disparity therein. (Too late)

Too late. :/ Thanks, Richard Baker, for turning Fflar into a no-personality cardboard cutout.

Elven sub-race: generic

examples: The Srinshee, Fflar, Ashemmi

cause: lazy writers with not enough caffine (or sugar) in their system

solution: get a better writer

@.@

To be fair, I gather that Fflar's original lack of subrace (or even confirmation as to species) was intended to be part of his mystique or something like; I don't think he got pinned down as a moon elf until Last Mythal.

I didn't know there was doubt over Ashemmi, though I vaguely recall her having a sex change in Spellfire. Anyone with the book to confirm?

... and a few more. On a side note, this is the forum's 200th post, if I'm not mistaken. Yay?

26. Strangely colored eyes, even if they're mood-ringy, are not automatic grounds for declaring Vhaeraun a "Mary Sue."

27. Nor, for that matter, are they grounds for declaring Lolth a "Mary Sue."

28. Or Eilistraee.

29. Or Drizzt.

30. Or Liriel.

31. Or Danifae.

32. Or Gromph.

33. Or Dantrag.

34. Or Malakuth Tabuirr.

35. Or Amryyr Yauntyrr.

36. Or Drisinil Armgo.

37. None of the above have damage reduction +1/sporks.

38. Regarding strangely colored hair, even if it's mood-ringy: see above.

39. If dead drow decide to hang out on the Astral Plane, I will not taunt them with directions to the Fugue Plane.

40. I will not question the Eilistraeens on their resurrection policy.

41) The same goes for clerics of the rest of the Seladrine.
