We've all heard this one. Some author describes the curtains as blue for no real reason and then a decade or two later someone is deconstructing that scene dressing and assuming it's a metaphor for a deep and profound sadness. The question then is, how deep should people read into your writing? What hidden meanings, if any, are layered within?

Usually with my writing I don't plan in advance having x scene/story be an overall metaphor. A friend though commented on Foul Play has this theme of tourism similar to real life tourism in Hawaii, which wasn't my intention haha.

I would say you probably should read my work deeply, but not everything is a metaphor, or anything like that. Although, I do have references to other media (meta) that I want people to pay attention to and find. This is a lore heavy work, so I want people to think deeply about the lore rather than my metaphors and whatnot.
