This is a dire time, folks. However, if we haven’t drifted away too far from the horror of the past, the solution shall also be still in our reach, maybe disguised in some funny folklore from the past.

I got accepted to SFWA! Super excited to join a community of fantasy/sci-fi folks. I got in through translating a bunch of novels, but I’m hoping to be recognized as a writer soon, starting with my guide to Korean myths and folklore.

Day 2 of #BluePitHype
Sorry I'm late but I wanted to share this picture.

I'm writing a non-fiction dealing with Korean folklore and myths (surprised that there are many Chinese and Japanese myths available but not many Korean).

Korean ones are... hilarious like this tiger smoking a pipe.

The above picture is from a Korean movie The Tiger, but maybe in real life, they looked a bit more colorful as in this picture by Joon Keun Kim. More on them and other intriguing materials from Korean lore are here: Huckkahng.substack.com

This is a Po Soo, traditional hunter and frequent star in Korean folkore, in his full gear. They used old-fashioned flintlocks, whose range was only 60 yards but had no problem hunting tigers. They also wore snowshoes, which you can see dangling from his back. #folklore #WritingCommunity #fantasy
