A Really Odd Question

Chris, you might read "Blackout" by Connie Willis. It deals with time travel back to London during the blitz. She covers the problems of wardrobe, dialect, vocabulary etc. Her " travelers" chose their time and destination which made it easy to prepare, whereas yours apparently don't have that option. Might get some ideas from that.

Two observations for what it's worth: First, even though it's a fiction, people still pay close attention to small details. "Blackout" had an easy time with wardrobe because it was wartime and the people had to make do with what they could find. Small town USA would take notice any abnormalities.The second is that many of the people who post on this forum are very knowledgeable in different aspects of WWII. I am constantly amazed at the expertise regarding weapons, airplane identification, uniforms, etc. The difference between an attack and an invasion is huge and more readers than not would catch that. The correct response would have been " thanks for pointing that out".

 

Methink's we have another relative of Mr.Poe here who has changed mediums from video to book. Perhaps we could point him to either a Sci-Fi or writers forum to find the answers he seeks?

 

Those new meds are doing wonders!

 

I haven't seen "The Final Countdown" in years, but I remember I liked it at the time. The weather system was a unique way to account for the time travel, the paradox was was examined, Kido Butai was lucky the storm came back.
