Author Craft / Re: Are Vamps and Werewolves too overdone?

Not as overdone as elves though. I have taken to tossing aside any book that introduces "mysterious, beautiful people, tall and graceful, their voices like music, eyes glinting with the knowledge of ages..." and rot such as that.
If I ever write a story involving elve sI'm gonna make them hideous insectoid things, cannibalistic and stinking, who speak in gutteral grunts and clicks.
