What genre do you write in? And how do you deal with authenticity?
For example, when you write fantasy, is your text based on existing lore or do you “make it up”?

I have a thing for magical realism and surrealism. When I write, I try to build on top of ideas that already exist, like a common metaphor for the topics I want to deal with, usually twisting it and making it feel like experiencing a dream
I don’t know where this approach is on the “based on existing work” to “make it up” spectrum, tho
