Niphredil, very interesting ideas about kings, princes, dwarfs, and elfs. Its true for the most part, though lotr itself did not involve a prince or princess, and I liked it very much how the heroes were small, almost helpess race of little people rarely even heard of.

For my stories, usually the enemy no one has really heard of. The enemy, whether person or monster (for me it is never a king,) has some relation or knowledge to or of the main characters/party. Usually I set out events long before I write them, then come up with the detail as I write.

In my original fantasy ideas (I rarelr write much besides fanfiction) I like to have a hidden mage, becuase wizardry is so interesting to explore. There must always be stops and long roads ahead, plus big dangers and always set backs. I also like the enemy to be someone either unexpected or an unknown name to much, and slowly the knowledge is spread of this dark being or shadow.
