Written an drawn by Josh Sortelli, Elf Only Inn is a webcomic set in the virtualization of a fantasy chat room. Though its cast represents a broad spectrum of gaming, fantasy, horror, and science fiction genres, each character is actually an avatar for a chat room participant. Represented through their characters, it is about the relationships, neuroses, and sub-cultures that grow up around online communities. The Inn itself is a room within a larger BBS, though the exact technology involved — whether it is chat or an Internet forum — is vague. It is ostensibly dedicated to fantasy role-playing, and elves in particular, but in reality, very little quality role-playing takes place, and elves are in the minority.
