BELOW DECKS 1 - Authenticity in Historical Fiction

Comments

Ah! Thanks Hattie! Then my question as a follow-up to this talk: You know those moments when strict accuracy is an obstacle to writing a good story and you decide to *disregard* it in order to make the plot go? Be it cheating with distances or strict historical dates, or simply not being able to find any information about something (what if you never found out which stamps people in that specific time and place used?). Any thoughts or struggles about navigating that when working with material about non-white cultures? Tl;dr authenticity vs accuracy vs making the writing and story go See you in a few hours ☺

Hi sAZAndorable - if you comment below (or send us a DM if you prefer), I'll keep an eye out and pass the additional questions on to the team. - Hattie

Oh gosh, brb self-reflecting on the politics and potential internalised racism/colonialism of calling Siva my little blorbo sweet little boy son, even though he absolutely IS that from a purely fandom vocab perspective. This is so interesting and exciting... ... and sparks more idea for questions to ask the cast at the launch party event in a few hours! The form appears to be closed (again?), is there any way to send in more questions at this time? (Or if we can send in Qs directly in Gather I'll just jot this down to remember to ask :3)
