        1. difference in appearences. British brownies are ugly but cornawall brownies are beautiful?

  3. How the belief has evolved through religion
    1. Why would it be grouped into religion? - based off of definition of religion (i'll give examples that fit).... re-bring up Otto and theories meantioned earlier such as the ancestor worship theory.
    2. pagan belief in faeries -> meantion how the sread of neopaganism seems to be spreading the belief in faeries as well

      1. ^^^ these two would involve my conversations with people... but they weren't interviews...exactly? just conversations.
  4. How the belief affects the culture
    1. olden times
    2. modern times 
      1. FaerieCon - uses court theory with the faerie ball - good and bad faerie ball
      2. Faerie Festivals in Europe
      3. fiction phenomena -> revitalization of the belief? 
      4. folk songs 
      5. Homosexuals being called "fairies" 
      6. Fae Otherkin
  5. What Faeries mean to me 
    1. Being Fae Otherkin
    2. Growing up with "the little people" (actually a native american term....came from great grandma who was half native but denied it, but used  native term and belief in them) - 
        1. Experiences with the house faerie
            1. missing shoes
            2. Re-arranging my room....= PAIN
            3. Up close and personal
    3. Where my obsession began 
      1. yu-gi-oh's  mystic elf
      2. peter pan
      3. first SG experience -> 1st pagan pride -> ELF -> later psychics confirming = ELF
      4. meditations...... Fae being in my past life.
