The Historical Fiction Project is a participatory literary project organized by Karl Jones.
Goals
I propose to —
- Write set of vignettes based on historic people and events, with a fictional viewpoint character for each historic person.
- Recruit participants to select historic people, and to invent fictional characters to meet the historic people
Participation
Choose a historical person, someone of interest to you
- "Historic" means a real person who I can look up on Wikipedia or elsewhere
- Must be deceased (or must have permission from the historic figure in question)
Invent a fictional character who provides the viewpoint on the fictional character
- This is where you get creative
- Can be as simple or as detailed as you please
- Provide a name, at a minimum
- Preferably with a short biographic statement about the fictional character, a paragraph or two giving some context how this fictional person relates to the historic person
I promise to treat all entries with serious literary respect, whether traditional historical fiction or idiosyncratic adventures in time and space, and to give full credit to all participants.
