All right.
I've been working on a series of articles on traditional races of Fantasy which provide an alternate view of the cliché's which surround them.
As an example I am nearing completion of an article on Dwarves based on the original Norse myths rather than the re-interpretation of those myths after the christianisation of Scandinavia. At this stage my next project will be Elves based on Welsh Mythology.
These documents are laid out for easy reading and contain no setting specific materials though I can can provide those as free (non-infringing) PDFs on my website if they are requested. They also include Art which I have commissioned from an Artist who I actually paid so they are a pretty high quality product if I do say so myself.
My question for the community here is, would anyone be interested in a product like this?

Hey man. What are the target word counts of the articles?

Well, there's Wikipedia for my curiosity about history of myths, and there's me reading a Norse myth and making shit up to populate my fantasy game. Good layout and illustrations would be a nice addition, but I wouldn't pay money for that unless I saw how the product was going to change my gaming for the better.
I know some rich mythology fans who might dig it, though. But it'd still have to be more thorough than what you can find in internet searches. (Or at least more credible -- source citations might help.)

I'd definitely be interested in stealing using source materials like these in context with Quincunx, since that's game based on our world and the mythological beings who have lived within it since the dawn of time.
But I can talk about that with you later, Mr. Burns.
