Question

Which of these steps must writers first accomplish in order to build believable story elements within historical fiction?

Answer 1

Writers would probably need to do extensive research on the era/time period they wish to write about. Even though it is fiction, the place and time needs to match with history in order to be considered historical fiction.

Answer 2

Building up the fictional characters with diversity is the best option to set up a fictional plot.

Factual evidence must be present in each step that provides support to the theme and the messages portrayed.

Appropriate research and analysis can help in the gathering of all facts relevant to the fictional plot.
