Please note that this is extremely far from being a comprehensive list; in theory almost anything that exists could wind up here on Earth as "otherkin", and I haven't even included sections for some of the more common other types (such as dragons, vampires, and therianthropes). These are just the types I chose to provide information and links about.
(all of these are offsite links)
The Elenari Nexus is expressly for and about Elenari, which are one kind of elves. See also some remembered words of various Elenari types, and an Elenari dictionary. A'hri'l, a Tulari, has written a fairly extensive site about Adrastai, an order of warriors she and some other Elenari remember.
The Silver Elves were one of the original groups of folks to be open about being other than human.
The writers of The Hidden Realm follow a Tolkien-inspired path of elven spirituality they term Tië Eldaliéva (the Elven Path).
The current Elven Realities; or for historical interest, see the 1998 version of Elven Realities.
Topics I intend to get around to writing about for this section (*looks sheepish*). (If you would like to write on any of them, feel free to email me at (eshari at eristic dot net).)
A discussion on cold iron on the LiveJournal nonfluffypagans community
A little bit about the realm of Faery and on the possibly related realm of Annwn
Two posts on faery and glamour
A post about the nature of faery
Some thoughts on the similarities and differences between sidhe, elves, faery, and Tuatha.
A couple brief posts on sidhe in general.
A rather lengthy post from my LiveJournal describing what particular characteristics I am referring to when I talk about a "sidhe".
Anara has written a substantial amount on her kind of sidhe (Fra'kar, or sidhe from a realm called I'leniel): on sovereignty, and a glossary of names and terms. (offsite links)
A comparison of sidhe, fae, and elves by the Crisses. (offsite link)
Tuatha
de Dannan
(also spelled Tuatha de Danaan, although this is apparently incorrect,
grammatically speaking)
A comment by Rhianna SilEl on LiveJournal about Tuatha compared to sidhe and elves
A memory from Talakestreal of a time when there was a war
Aine's site, DeDanaan.com, is of course about the Tuatha De Danann, mainly from the perspective of Irish mythology and related studies.. (offsite link)
A piece from the old Otherkin Resource Center about Danann sidhe (offsite link)
Taxonomy of Dannan sylvanus is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but interesting nonetheless. (offsite link)
The Dananns and the Sundering (offsite link)
Stuff I posted to mailing lists about polymorphs and stardragons, and some stuff about dragons in general
Christopher Angelo's pieces on what it means to be a satyr and on nymphs
A nice, detailed piece by Archer about shadows
poetry
