I am looking for a few terms to go in the Interests section of the DW profile, and I don't know what words to use.
First up, fantasy economics. I find the idea that you can have a fantasy world that is "just like medieval Europe, only with magic" to be nonsense. You can just about have one where the magic is hidden, but if it's overt, then it's going to make differences in the way society and economics work. There are writers who have done glorious things with this; Max Gladstone foremost among them. I feel like there should be a single word for this, or at least a catchier term, but it's escaping me.
Next up, something like goblincore or witch aesthetic, but to describe my own personal aesthetic. 'Scholarpunk' is the closest I've come so far, but it doesn't get the cabin-y rock-and-nature aspect.
And then, something to describe the form of small-scale online social interaction that many people are experiencing in the slow retreat from Facebook. I have the concept of 'dark forest glades', but that's three words, and kind of requires already knowing what the term means before you can get the impression I want from it, rather than the literal meaning of open spaces in dense woodland.
Ideas?
