Thursday: Magical Realism

Nov 15, 2012 09:00

Hello my friends! As you may already know, it's Thursday and I am your host mahmfic. Today's theme is Magical Realism. It's a personal favorite of mine so I couldn't resist.

What is magical realism? In very basic terms it is magic in the real world... but even though there is magic everything is still normal even though it's not. Yeah, I know I'm horrible at explaining things that's why I am providing links to do it for me. Wikipedia's article on Magical Realism and TV Tropes article on the subject. If you still aren't sure please take a look at AO3's variety of fic that is tagged with 'magical realism'.

Magical Realism gives everyone a lot of room for creativity. Faeries, soul-suckers, magical witty-knitters, telepathy, soulmates, you name it.
