"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

northernblots: Once there was a girl named Jenny. She was like all the other girls, except for one thing. She always wore a green ribbon around her neck.

I’ve been on a big Jane Austen kick this year and currently reading my way through all the books! So far I’ve read Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, and I’m almost finished with Northanger Abbey!

"The magic system is never fully explained" yeah that's how life works. Imagine having a story set in modern day America and the characters have several pages of exposition on combustion engines and telecommunication networks before we get to the plot

[et-in-arkadia]

i think this is absolutely correct and good writing advice but also victor hugo would like to have a word with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1832

victor hugo would like to have many words with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1831

See, I feel like there's a difference between "the magic system is never fully explained" and "the author clearly does not have anything in mind for how the magic system works"

They don't have to fully explain it, but I would like to feel as though some level of thought went into what they're writing

[bethanydelleman]

The problem is usually something like, "Are there real stakes?"

Some fantasy works of fiction make every solution feel like a deus ex machina and that is a huge problem because it means that there are no stakes. If it's a non-fantasy story, I know the basic limits of human bodies, but in fantasy that can be up in the air. I need to understand on some level if and how the characters can be in real danger.

Lord of the Rings never really explains its magic system very well, but it also doesn't pull random solutions from a hat, so you never feel that there are not stakes. We know the important things: Big Evil Ring can only be destroyed by volcano, none of the super powerful people can take it because if it corrupts them we are all Doomed. The magical items the Hobbits use are pretty straightforward (cloak that helps you hide, light that scares the cave dwelling spider, special sword that glows near orcs, super chain-mail). While these items help, the story is mostly about very human Hobbit endurance and people getting corrupted if they are too close to the Big Evil Ring. We all understand those stakes, even if what a wizard is exactly is kind of fuzzy.

Bad fantasy pulls random objects out of nowhere to solve problems (in LotR, the eagles appeared previously, the magic objects were gifts etc.). It leaves you wondering what could even kill that villain (we know exactly how to kill Sauron, it's just hard). Or worse, the hero can do something we've been told is impossible because He's Just Cool Like That.

Even if it's never fully explained, the author should have some sort of rules in their head that they write to and sometimes it really seems like they don't.
