Re: a game about the Highway of Tears

[mekkio]

Sorry, but a good writer should be able to write anything. You gain knowledge on what you are writing about by researching the hell out of your subjects.

Or to put it another, take one white male, now this guy has spent the last three years extensively researching including interviewing every First Nation person he could meet. He has put in hundreds of hours following cops and piggy back on Canadian police cases where the murder victims were First Nation women. Say he is writing about an black American FBI agent. He even flew over to J. Edgar Hoover building and shadowed FBI agents who were black women.

Now you have two other writers, one happens to be a black woman but is American and not Canadian. She hasn't done much research other than some mild skimming online about Canadian First Nation women. And you have another woman, a Canadian First Nation woman who has not even set foot in America. Her research to the FBI is also what she can find on the internet as well as from movies and television shows. She has not even met a black American in her life.

Now I ask you, out of the three who do you think would write the best book?

People don't realize how much footwork is needed to write a book. They think you just sit down and write. You have someone like Chuck Palahnuik who has said, "Yeah, it took me three weeks to write my book but a year and a half to research it." That's what good writing is like. It's a huge pile of research.

The last murder was in 2011. I don't care who is doing it, but WTF. Three years.

Actually, it's not unheard of in the true crime genre. At least in books and television shows. It's rather common. However, turning it into a game...yeah, you got me. That's tacky.

Yeah, it took me three weeks to write my book

Haha yeah, his books do read like they took about three weeks to write, now that you mention it.

I think the Canadian First Nation woman would write the most interesting book (all other things being equal), because I am more interested in her experience and knowledge, as she's going to represent them in fiction, than I am about any degree of accuracy about the FBI, and I do think there are meaningful things that you just can't really get through research.

That said, I think it's true that anyone can write any book about anything, and the concern is that the murders are ongoing and that he's turning them into something that may or may not end up being a work of fantasy and concern whether or not he's actually going to do the research.

All three are going to be bad, because if you're writing about an ongoing series of disappearances and murders in rural BC, there is no good goddamn reason to include the FBI at all. Outside of very, very specific circumstances, none of which apply to situations like the Highway of Tears, the FBI doesn't have jurisdiction north of the border.
