Do you hate Elfy elves and Dwarfy dwarves, too?

Actually yes. A little.
My Halfling vary between my three campaign worlds. My main one has Hobbity Kender...or Kenderish Hobbit Halflings. My second has an original race (more on that in a moment) and the last has Hobbity Elf Halflings.
Seems Halfling are the one original race added to every fantasy series.
Tolkien has Hobbits.
D&D has Halflings.
Dragonlance has Kender.
In one of my worlds are the Wilders...a cross between the Wolf Rider Elves of ElfQuest, Wild Elves and Kender.
