Virtue of Steel 5

This, THIS VILE THING, is why I haven't been posting much fic lately. I have been wrestling with this shoddy, boring, torn up, twisted storyline for so long it has gone beyond not funny. I have had to force out ever damn word of this thing, edit it a dozen times and it's still the 2nd most ahted piece of fic I've ever written.

But it's done, alone with more world building than any sane person should ever do (so the reason I'm doing it should be clear). Now maybe the muses will play nice and the fic will flow, or I will start banging my head against a heavy flat surface

Vitrue of Steel: World Building. Elves

Some of the many many many many many pieces of world building I have done for this setting. In fact, there are over 20 times as many words written on word building as there have been on fic.

This is what annoys me so much about this fic - the world is wonderful. I love it. It's vivid and deep and HUGE. I ahve races and cultures and conflicts and politics...

But the fic is fighting me every step of the way and I hate that this world I LOOOOVE is being mangled by a fic I'm not loving very much at the minute and is going so slowly that the world isn't being explored

Still, some intro on the Elves (I actually have 8 pages of world building on the elven race alone, discounting elven nations, famous elves, etc)
