Goblin Vault: Magic and Its Methods
🕑 Added 2021-01-24 17:00:00 +0000 UTCA smutless lore post in which I delve into how magic can be categorized—or, rather, how it cannot be and how people still try.
Hello, my lovelies! I took a quick break from my writing this morning to sketch this little (unedited) glossary up, because honestly, I was getting tired of having to remind myself, "Wait, which one is wizardry? Is that just adeptry? Did I ever explain sorcery?"
Luckily, in this case, magic's ill-defined nature suits the world just fine. This isn't a hard fantasy setting—it's a setting full of people who want it to be. That said, if there are particular terms/concepts I missed explaining in this, feel free to ask and I'll see what I can do!
Also, I do have more smut I'm hoping to get done by the end of January, as well as a smutless "Monster Girl Encyclopedia" for my world—the first fifty entries of which should be finished to post within a couple days! I'm honestly really happy with the pace I've set this last week. I've been working every day, and I think that's a pace I'll be able to keep from now on, thanks to a variety of positive changes in my lifestyle and habits.
Smut-wise, the next update should be a flashfic about Larya and a seductive orchard owner!

This is all so cool!!

Aw, thanks! I'm very influenced by how we handle things like species in the real world. Categories and labels are useful, but usually super imprecise, and it's cool that we still try.

I'm noticing a trend when it comes to "people desperately trying to categorize what cannot be categorized", between fey and now magic as a whole--it's an interesting thematic link in how mortals view the unnatural, and does a lot to set the world's tone!

It’s wonderful to hear that life is going well for you. Hopefully that will continue on regardless of the writing... Though certainly won’t complain when you post stuff hahaha.
