Well Toady has done a good job making his fantasy setting interesting... Instead of the noble, graceful beings that never eat meat, they are some what blood thirsty cannibals, and it it totally justified!

I'm generally okay with a fantasy pastiche of standard tropes, when the point of the story isn't to flesh out and explore the implications of a world. Sometimes I just want to run through a character driven story, and I just happen to like the fantasy setting as a backdrop. Subverting or otherwise avoiding cliches still tends to be a staple (or at least I try to make it one), but I'll have it happen through individuals rather than through the setting, if you see what I mean. The codification's fine, but only when you use it as a tool to skip steps that aren't what are important to your story - it's a bit like fanfiction, in that way. You can actually use it as an effective mechanism for doing what you're setting out to do, but you have to avoid letting yourself be trapped by it, and ensure you're choosing a setting whose assumptions actually do work for the story you're after.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Female Ninjas of Iran

I just think the "Elves are a Mary Sue race so let's re-interpret them as something unflattering" idea was initially worth a nod, but has gotten boring really fast.

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

I interpret elf as E.L.F (Enhanced Life Form) a breed of humans that have been augmented with cybernetics to a level where even their minds have under gone vast modification, leaving them cold and stoic. Their lack of biological parts has also increased their lifespans beyond that of normal humans, as well as their amazing strength and speed.

Playing Pokemon White, because I pretty much completely owned and gutted Pokemon Black.
Got up to the 5th gym in one day because I'm only using 3 pokemon: Samurott, Stoutland, and Excadrill.

Grinding is so unnaturally fast. This just doesn't feel right! I think maybe I should start over and do it "right" (aka how I played Black, extremely time consuming as compared to this, which is super fast and easy) this time.

I'm in the school play, and it's footloose. I get cast as the Reverend.

I hate dancing(Lawl) I hate every form of music created after the 1900's(Lawlawl) I hate Slaughterhouse Five(Lawlawlawl)

This will undoubtedly end well.

We may not be as brave as Gryffindor, as willing to get our hands dirty as Hufflepuff, or as devious as Slytherin, but there is nothing, nothing more dangerous than a little too much knowledge and a conscience that is open to debate

But what you have to understand Realmfighter, is that girls love a guy who can dance. It is a simple process of following instructions and not being self conscious!

I've just been, like, lying here listening to dnb and dubstep for the past hour, and I've reached this sort of mellow, meditative state, and I feel great~
Or maybe I just need to sleep~
