FOR READERS
Today’s reader topic comes from QSFer Marina Justyaoi:
Historical fiction that plays fast and loose with reality, does it irritate you or make you wish it had been that way? (Particularly in same-sex relationships).

I enjoy any well crafted story and if that’s an alternate history it’s fine with me. However should the author portray a historic period fairly close but then minimise the difficulties faced by a minority is annoying and can be misleading to readers who don’t know much about history.
