When WaRP Graphics allowed fans of their books to create and write their own stories based upon the ElfQuest works, it was common for fan stories to borrow elements from the original series for use in their tales. Often, similar themes and even almost identical titles of fan creations would later show up in ElfQuest publications.

• Timber Valley employed a treeshaper-maintained thorn barrier around the Holt proper as added security in our stories between 1984-1990. In 1992, the Wolfriders used a Redlance-maintained thorn barrier for protection in ElfQuest: Hidden Years.

• Timber Valley: The New Blood appeared in Timbers #21 in May 1990. The WaRP Graphics title ElfQuest: New Blood later appeared in 1992.

• Timber Valley member Steve Carter approached WaRP early in 1992 about doing a book called The Living Years that would focus on the Wolfriders during the long years after Rayek took the Palace 10,000 years into the future. He received no response on his suggestion. Several months later in the same year, WaRP Graphics announced a new book called ElfQuest: The Hidden Years, which profiled stories of Wolfrider life during the long years after Rayek took the Palace into the future.

• In 1982, the ElfQuest fanzine Yearnings (#1) published a story by Debra Vorgias (now Debbie Delorme) and Elizabeth Cerritelli (now Betty Spurlock) about sea-elves living with dolphins they called Wave-dancers.  In 1993, WaRP Graphics released a series about sea-elves under the title of ElfQuest: Wavedancers.
