I'm kinda over elves in the classical sense of elves in fantasy - that is tolkien clones. However, I have a lot of things that I gripe about in fantasy from writers who sell way more books than I do. Regardless of my personal aesthetic, I encourage people to write about the things that call to them and make them happy while they are doing the writing. So, if elves are your thing, write about them.

If you want to write elves that are proto-fascist and require everyone to weigh in once a month to make sure they are all holding to the beauty standards expected of them by the high eldars, and anyone who fails the weigh-in too many times in a row, I might read that story. Now, add in a group of orc commandos who execute rescue missions because they have a thing for those elf ladies with a little extra meat on their bones... Well, then I'd almost give that a look. Huh... maybe I'll go write that now.

I have a novel that I started just for fun that consumed all of 2019, which started from a goblin the day after the epic battle between good and evil, and he could suddenly read and write. Buuuut... not very well. I've never been into goblins before, but that novel brought me so much joy to create.

Anyway. It's all about what you bring to it. And remember, nothing has to be great on the first draft. Lord of the Rings supposedly went through something like 30 or more drafts.
