Elfwood is a social-networking site, founded by Thomas Abrahamsson in 1996, dedicated to fantasy art and stories.
Communication – 3 Stars
The user has an Elfwood inbox, and can write on their friends’ wall.
Profile/ File Sharing – 2 Stars
Creating a profile on this site is relatively easy. First you go to the home page, type your user name, password, email address, gender, birth date, and country. You then have to verify your email, so the site loses points.
Elfwood allows users to create their own smileys, upload artwork and stories, and locate yourself on an Elfwood world map.
Applications – 2 Stars
The user is able to share artwork and stories when activating a free application. The user can also pay twenty four dollars to have their account upgraded to a patron (I didn’t do it, because it doesn’t seem worth it). The site loses points, because you have to pay for an application that doesn’t specify what it does.
Customization – 0 Stars
You cannot customize your profile at all. You’re stuck with a hunter green background.
Notifications – 1 Star
Since I’ve joined the site, I’ve only gotten one email, which was to verify my email address. However, the sender’s name is ‘nobody’, which concerns me somewhat.
With 8/25 Stars, I would not recommend Elfwood to anyone. If you really like sci-fi and fantasy artwork and dislike deviantART for some reason, then you can give it a try.
