Talastan was a nice home, grounded on the kind of fantasy I liked most at that time. (Anne McCaffreys "Dragonriders", Mercedes Lackeys "Tarma and Kethry", some "Darkover" Books) It hat to be archaic, but not fill of clichés, interesting magic, and I was in no need for alien races.

My favorite writing universes in fan-fiction were "Elfquest" (in the 80ties) and is "Stargate" (today) or "Avatar - the last Airbender" (today), depending on the inspiring fandom I discovered there.
