Are there any official rules as how to make other types of Genasi? I'm asking about those whose planar touch comes from demiplanes. I'd be very interested in having a Smoke Genasi, an Electricity Genasi or a Blood Genasi character.

While not as urgent as the question stated above... do Fey'ri (my favorite race, by the way) and Tanarruk know of the existence of each other? They are reported to be in small numbers but reproducing rather quickly.

As for the first question...
There is no published template I am aware of, but there are published races like in Dragon #297 and if you do a little googling you will find some more unofficial items.

As for number two, that would be solely the DM's discretion

I had a few links to Planescape stuff with MUCH options, like Paraelemental, Quasielemental and even Energy-based Genasi, by example...

The Roaring Genasi Tavern I think, for said creatures.

with the permission of your master you can teorically make a geansi of any elemental (paraelemental, quasielemental, etc...) plane in the setting you are playing... only take the genasi and make some job adapting it to the plane.. so if there is an elemental plane of wood in you setting make a wood genasi! take as model the eath genasi, give him some plant-related spells, tweake a little more, let your master fudge it and give his ok, and voilá! (by the way a blood genasi suggest a very weird cosmology in your setting)

Maybe, just maybe, there will be a cold genasi published in Knowledge Arcana (http://wizo.wizards.com/ka/) if the Icebound (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=836492) setting continues.

Well, I assumed that, since Blood Elementals exist, a quasielemental or paraelemental plane of Blood must exist. Hell, there's even the Blood Mothers! Such plane was dubbed incorrectly, but it exists. Hence, I want to have a blood genasi or a smoke genasi character.

I have begun reading K.A. only recently. Indeed, that could be quite helpful, since it's not an element per se.
