I have to admit that i find this really funny especialy seeing how i am currently researching into how to take "a midsummer nights dream" and un "disneyfy" both the play's view of fairy's and current culture.
sigh... back to making the fae everything that terry Pratchett says they should be:
Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.
--Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies
