Every culture has its lore, especially in science fiction and fantasy. Deities and celebrities, myths and legends, and all the things that lurk in the dark. Some writers delve deeply into this as part of worldbuilding, and some skim the surface, impressing the reader to fill the gaps from their own reference.

It’s like that in real life, too. Some people have a holy book which they believe has all the answers, and some people build their own lore from their experiences.

What is your favorite lore in life and in fiction? What stories do you tell yourself?
