I’m now testing a simple filter for my work: would this actually function as lore?
Right now it seems to only activate in two ways:
1. When characters treat it as shared history.
2. When a real community repeats it until it becomes culture.
Everything else is just potential energy.
This lens is forcing me to rethink how I build stories.
And it’s shaping my understanding:
“Lore Writer” isn’t a title you give yourself.
It only really makes sense when someone uses it as a cultural anchor — either the characters inside the world or a community outside it.
Before that, it’s just worldbuilding with good intentions.
This reframed my identity a lot.
I’m not writing lore yet. I’m learning how to build conditions where lore can emerge.
