I have a question . . .

[dreamtrance]

just a general question of opinion for those of you out there who read fic
(*gasp* there might possibly be people on my friendslist who read fic?! no way!)

do you *need* things in a story to happen in accordance (time/event wise) to what really happend in life?

or can an author move things around to fit the story?

  - specifically speaking pre!sync and early!sync

if it's me... reading OR writing... my preference is (if there's established canon) that the story/timeline stay as close to what really happened as possible. Of course things are a bit blurry pre-nsync, which is both easier and harder, imo. (canon slut, here, yo)

do you have specific events in mind, hon? I saw your answer above, to Saturn... because I have passing fair knowledge of some of the pre-nsync stuff, and know of some good archive reference sources, too.

Let me know! :)

I *just* started the story so I haven't worked out the actual events yet but I have a tendancy to jsut say *fuck it* to canon and write what I want but if that's going to bother people I don't want to do it.

so I could probably use some help

(this is the reason I usually write post!sync)

I'll offer as much assistance as I can :) Let me know what you need, and when you need it. If you don't see me on AIM, give a shout-out, or email me, i'm prolly just being antisocial and/or writing ;)
