@katy-walker I think that backstory is definitely important in relation unto the story being a part of a history. That’s generally the way I think about my stories as well. It’s a piece of the chimings of time. Plus, if you put work into it and build up the history – especially with fantasy – you can reference certain places as if they are known fact, like Tolkien does. That is an aspect I like reading when reading any form of fiction. This would follow also poetry, the difference, maybe, would be that you can expand upon it in more ways than you could with prose.
