It's funny, because sometimes I agree and sometimes I don't. I think the idea of actual historical realism is pretty silly. But it does bother me when someone doesn't know anything about the setting other than some really loose, obvious, trite ideas that they've received from popular media, and they don't try to do anything more than replicate those ideas. There's a point where it feels like all the story is doing is playing Halloween dress-up, and that's where I kind of tune out.

Personally, I don't expect strict historical accuracy in fanfiction. It'd be nice, but I'm not a stickler or an expert. But it's a little annoying when people make really egregious errors in a historical setting because they don't know any better and haven't even tried to find out.

You know, end of the day, Shakespeare thought Bohemia had a coastline. If the story is good enough, it doesn't matter.

Eh, I guess. But considering that today you can Google stuff or look on Wikipedia for a crazy amount of information, it's not really on the same level as Shakespeare not knowing the boundaries of Bohemia. If a writer is too lazy or ignorant to look up basic stuff, it's not likely their writing is going to be that good,either.

What are the odds the story is going to be that good, though? Especially if the author doesn't even want to do basic research for the setting they chose?

One of my all time favorite Fanfic Flamingos said it best, imo:

This is obviously not always the case, but it's been the case often enough that I find it extremely relatable.

+10000 This is both funny and true.
