Thank you Anon, that’s good encouragement to keep at it.

Yes, music has a magical power in my world (as in Tolkien’s); and I’m not technically-minded enough to come up with an autistic magical system. I prefer my magic to be mysterious and subtle (like Tolkien’s). There’s also decaying sci-fi tech à la Bakker and Wolfe.

I know my ramblings will never make it to the bestseller list or will probably ever be picked up by a reputable publisher; but if I can get a few anons on /lit/ to read it, without resorting to Gardner style spam tactics, I’ll be satisfied.

I think ideals are about achieving as much as you can according to your nature, or at least they used to be before modernity corrupted them. Ideals are something to strive towards.

Yeah, in literature people are defined by their archetypes, their essence. If you start to blurr the lines too much it becomes very bland.
