Participatory Historical Fiction Project (nonfiction)

The Historical Fiction Project is a participatory literary project organized by Karl Jones.

Goals

• Write a set of vignettes based on historic people and events, with a fictional viewpoint character for each vignette
• Recruit participants to choose historic people and invent fictional character 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.
