Re: Writers: World-building and character designing

[(Anonymous)]

You weren't asking me, but since I feel the same as tabaqui, I'll give you my take on it as well.

I don't enjoy fluffy fun stories that pay zero attention to historical detail because if I can pick up on inaccuracies (and I'm not a scholar so if I notice a mistake, it's probably a big one), it interrupts my reading and I sit there and go, "Wait a second, that's not right..." It yanks me right out of the story I'm trying to immerse myself in. I'll never lose myself in the fic or book the way I want to because I'll be stopping every second paragraph and finding another mistake.

The other part of it is that it feels really, really lazy. Research has never been easier. You want to know what kind of breakfast rich people ate in Victorian times? You can Google it in like, ten seconds. So if I read a story where a Victorian family is sitting down to a hearty meal of Egg McMuffins, that annoys me. Authors who can't or don't spare the time for research aren't likely to invest the time to write a good story, IMO.
