Re: Fic writers and readers – does reality ever trump canon?

[rubbertea]

i'm all for realism, especially in settings that need some suspension of disbelief to work. fantasy (in the first sense of the word) seems more believable if the little things sound right. i'll be more inclined to believe your world has dragons if the dragons' fire causes third-degree burns.

I agree with your sentiment here. I like a bit of Magic Realism in my fantasy - set rules for how magic works, show that it has consequences. Also keep the laws of physics as a baseline so we know how far out of "the ordinary" magic can go.

And I expect dragon's fire to cause 3rd or even 4th degree burns. Dragons are supposed to be dangerous, and one of the main things that makes them so is their fire. You need to make serious exceptions for why someone would survive dragonfire.
