Let's hope I don't have to re-add things in like last time. I wasn't quite sure what to call this, but it touches on worldbuilding, magic systems, and backstories in particular. This is mostly about what kind of exposition you should deliver and when you should deliver it. Of course, I use the word 'should' tentatively. I think too many people say there are 'shoulds' and 'should nots' of writing, when in reality, people can write how they want. What matters to me is whether it is the best way to relate to the reader.
