Friends; how long should a celebrity and/or historical figure have been dead for before you *personally* stop feeling uncomfortable with fiction being written about them?
dead for
they can be alive, it’s fine with me.
recently dead
dead for five years or more
dead for at least a decade
dead for at least 20 years
dead for at least 50 years
dead for at least 100 years
dead for more than 100 years
I’m never personally comfortable with fiction about historical figures.
If you’re curious about the context, I was thinking about Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra and trying to decide if I’d feel weird writing about them 😂 (I think I probably would feel weird 😅)
The really funny thing about Hobbits dressing like 19th century gentleman farmers and everyone else looking generically renaissance/medieval is that it kind of heavily implies that Hobbits are the only ones who developed advanced sewing techniques.
Hobbits are the best tailors #confirmed
Merry: do you have any scissors?
Éowyn, who lives in the early medieval period: what are scissors
