Research is important. I did a time travel book back to 1965 and had to make sure some stuff was appropriate/accurate.<br />Anything in the paranormal/fantasy realm, go for everything and anything creative.<br />I once had a comment from a judge for this time travel book...she couldn't suspend disbelief and gave me a low score.<br />What? If you're reading paranormal time travel, you HAVE to suspend disbelief, for Pete's sake. This genre is pure fiction, and anything goes!Marianne Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277593485137508765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809516973071462364.post-51152125692079340182009-10-01T11:34:32.679-05:002009-10-01T11:34:32.679-05:00Yeah, I had a problem with the Tudors.

Catherine of Aragon was definitely very short and she had golden hair and was supposedly cute when she was young. Neither of them aged well - few people did in those days - but by the time Henry met Anne, he was quite a bit older than she was - actually - there are so many scenes in the Tudors that are not factual that I had to stop watching. I agree, in a fantasy you can do whatever you want as long as you remain internally consistent.
