Episode 43: Closing Off Story Space in War of the Spark

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast! In our forty-third episode, the goblins put a bow on their War of the Spark coverage (for now) by discussing what it means to close off story space in narratives. Why would authors ever kill off characters when it means they won't get to use them again? Why do we keep some of the best "big bad" villains around? And, of course, how do we manage the story space in our own life narratives? ____________________________________________ We have a Patreon!
