This discussion of Faerie between Terri Windling, Ellen Kushner, and Jeanette NG!! Listening to accomplished writers in the fantasy field discuss Faerie with a younger writer and watching them getting all fired up and feeding off of each other's ideas was so delightfully inspiring.

Just caught up on a brilliant British Library event 'Journeys to the Land of Faerie' with Terri Windling, Ellen Kushner, Jeanette Ng, & Sam Lee - such interesting discussions including numinosity & the idea of fairies being rooted in specific places (& other wondrous things)

Thank you! I think with flash/short fiction a lot of the worldbuilding has to be off page, but you can build up hints and let the reader's imagination do the work.
(If you enjoyed this, I'd recommend Under the Pendulum Sun by Jeanette Ng and Dark Breakers by CSE Cooney)

AIUI, some of it's down to the genre he's writing in: Jeanette Ng made an interesting observation years ago that with each draft he'd remove more of the elves in the background who were doing mundane things, as it didn't fit with the feel of the kind of epic he was writing.
