Yes, I have about six different ideas circling right now between the book I just finished and a few other plot bunnies gnawing at me.

But I wanted to ask if there were any fans of irish mythology around here... Mainly centering on the Fae. I've read a lot of the Celtic myths (both the Tain and Mabigonian) and I also have Ulster Folklore but I was wondering if anyone had any other books/websites they liked using as reference. Thanks!

Helpful? No. Knowledgeble? No. Now your biggest fanboy? Probably. I'll be following this with great interest. Grin

Coquette! Evil  Been reading about the history and culture of Ireland for about two decades now and I've only brushed on the mythology.  I will follow your endeavors with great interest. Jumper

I realize this thread is several months old, but if you haven't read it yet Celtic Myth and Religion by Sharon Paice MacLeod is very good. It was published in 2011 and includes a list of suggested reading for further study. I'm planning a WIP set in a pre-Christian Celtic society - the research is fascinating! Celtic religion is my main focus so far (druids, priestesses, seers, bards ...) but the Otherworld + Fae seem to tie in with everything.
