Elfwood was a popular web-based alternative art gallery and online community devoted to original science fiction and fantasy art and writing.[1][2] It was started 1 May 1996 by Thomas Abrahamsson[3] and claimed to be the largest science fiction and fantasy art site in the world.[4] It was most popular in the Americas and Europe. Gradually overwhelmed by its competitor DeviantArt, Elfwood was eventually shut down some time in 2016.
