You guys should totally read it. :3

Basic Plot:

Caelfel Gyssedlues is a young she-elf at seventy-six years old, the youngest known elf in her woodland city. A highly skilled archer, she was picked to join a certain hunting party to defend their forest from goblins. All is well until she chances upon Feraan, the most hated elf of the Honey Water Empire. She breaks royal decree by saving his life and finds herself constantly at odds with her people and a dangerous tracker. She is often forced to defend herself and her family simply because of her decision.

Meanwhile, she finds herself becoming closer to Feraan, perhaps even falling in love, but the longer she knows him, the more apparent it becomes that Feraan's enemies reach beyond their elvenkind. Soon those enemies come searching for him too, putting Caelfel's life in even more danger.

Not to speak ill of your friend's accomplishment, but I'd really like to see some stuff where elves aren't woodland dwelling ubersnipers who constantly have their land encroached by goblins or orcs.

I have a hard time thinking of "Elves" without woodlands and über sniping.

Drow

Drow are uber snipers too, they just like to be sneaky and unnerving about it. I don't know what their natural habitat is though.

Dark caves and black shaddowy areas where the sun never shines... They are also more into poisons and trickery than the other forms of elves. How about Dwemer?

The Elder Scrolls has a shitload of elves, a lot that perverse the usual tropes. But it still has a race of ubersniper wood elves.

If it makes you feel any better, Goblins and Orcs aren't in this story.

I'm so lost now.

I know that.... But I'm trying to show elves that weren't like their usual tropes (mostly uber snipers)...

Going back to Elder Scrolls, they do have some really cool alternate ideas for elves.The Altmer is how I traditionally view elves.
