This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Funny enough I was just reading a fantasy story with a mix of races building a city together.

Dryads talked to trees to relocate spirits.
Beavermen cut down all the trees with ease since spirits helped.
Dwarves got all the trees and made lumber / dwellings.
And the seemingly useless goblins were clearing the fields of leftovers/rocks so they had a prestine place to build dwellings.

So I pictured a horde of goblins cleaning up all the dimes at the headline.
Switching that over to children with the same energy and sounds fit hilariously.

Do you mind sharing the story? I'm trying to get back into reading more and it's easier with a recommendation than looking at thousands of titles and trying to choose one
