RE: Researching a story...

in #story9 years ago

One of the reasons I like to write sci-fi and fantasy is because it does not demand any research, but the fiction stories and comics I have written that takes place in the real world are very thoroughly researched. I don't know why I have to do it really. Some kind of uncontrolled perfectionism probably.

But I do think that it does give back something too. A supporting character can suddenly stand out in a new way because you got an idea from reading about the social class or subculture you want him/her to come from, for example.

I plan to write a bit about how I have made my comic about Phill from GCHQ. And I guess that a good topic is rearch as everything in it is researched. I suddenly know a lot about Land Rovers because my contemporary 007-parody is a Scottish hipster-girl that only use classic British tools. Her gun, her car, her binoculars - everything is pre-1970 - she might even hear Scotland the Brave on one of these...


See... just got an idea.
