oh, dear.

I just spent more than an hour doing research online. What's worse, I think I'm actually going to have to go to the library and take out a book or two.

You have to understand, I'm not in school, and when I'm not in school, I don't do research. It's very simple.

So, how do all you lovely people who write historical AUs manage it without going crazy?

I've barely even started the thing, and it's already eating my brain. Heaven help us.

>_< Tell me about it. *kicks 15th century Venice in the balls*

Oooh, 15th century Venice. That sounds even more obscure than 1901 Cleveland / Buffalo. Coooool. Good luck.

1901 Cleveland/Buffalo? Does this have something to do with the McKinley assassination?

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Yes and no. It's based around Emma Goldman's speech in Cleveland in 1901 - the one that supposedly inspired Czolgosz to assassinate McKinley - and Czolgosz has a couple of cameo appearances, but it's really supposed to focus on the anarchist movement and the working-class people involved.

If I can ever get it off the ground, that is. My grand scheme involves a longer and more complex storyline than I'm used to writing.
