Well take a look at this. Nice going, Morquesse! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I've been writing my one magnum opus for 17 years now (I think). So you may have thought you were exaggerating by saying 20, but well, that's life. I'm finally actually getting reasonably good at the craft of writing. I always felt I had the ability, but I got with a group and learned a lot. I'm in my 7th revision, up to chapter 17 right now. I don't have any elves either, but I do have immortals, both good and evil. I also mix modern and faerie worlds; actually, my protagonist moving from the one to the other. I'd say Tolkien has influenced the way I think a lot, but my writing is not like his much at all.
How about a new question: how do you make your protagonist (hero) somebody your reader can relate to, or like, or at least sympathize with? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
