Default Fantasy Folk Trolls?

I have a lot of interest in trolls, and feel I could write up a damn good
suppliment, but I would like to know if this would attract enough interest for it to become an approved project, even though 4e Fantasy Folk submissions are on the E23 wishlist. Please ring in, and if enough of you are for it, I will get cracking.

Trolls aren't as standardized in fantasy like elves or dwarves are, so it seems like it'd be harder to write "the" troll book. But it could be more interesting to cover because of that.

My intention would be to focus on the DF troll player race, and include a build up of the Fantasy stone trolls, the Andersonian Troll Peter Del'Ortto built for DFM1, and assorted variations (giant, giant two headed, issues of multiple heads vs multiple personalities) with a focus on a workable culture and an assortment of templates and character paths.

Don't forget the stone trolls from Discworld while you're at it.

And the trolls that turn to stone in sunlight, as depicted in Tolkien's works. These were based on someone's mythology, as I recall... possibly the Norse.

(That the Norse often used terms that translate into "troll", "dwarf", and "dark elf" almost interchangeably doesn't help, though.)

If you submit an article it has to be baed on Banestorm and existing GURPS work according to the wishlist.
It might allow an alternate chapter but the core is pretty much laid out.
