| Emotional outbreak from Story |
Orson Welles, a great American orator renowned for his rants and Bill O'reilly tantrums and creative prowless, recorded his version of H.G's Well's War of the Worlds. His stories would be very realistic and tell of impending attacks from foreign invaders. By tossing in "real" people, places, things and scientific proof the audience was scared to death. Some even committed suicide and killed themselves from such convincing. (Kudos to my teacher for showing this, and I wish I could say I found this myself.)
As a story teller, if you want a believable story, you want believable things: theories, people, facts, places. In many apocolypse like books and movies, you want to scare them with mutated cells or viruses or HN1 flue. In historic fiction this is more evident. Take National Treasure, they pop in historic figures and ideas to compel the plot!
Q: However, one might prose is, what about Fantasy? Science fiction I can see why you would put "theories and facts" but Fantasy? Isn't their more leeway in Fantasy?
Like most fantasy novels a step away from all other novels, we must take a slight step away. But keep in close proximity to the subject.
But, you have to have a story with realistic charactars. (Rarely)Are there any characters in stories that you cannot relate too some way! And, if they were alive, that their charactar can realistically stay alive. I can totally imagine a Jack Sparrow walking around currently in the bar, conning his way in Trump Tower, I can imagine a (humanoid) Gimli walking around with a glass of scotch in one hand in our world.
You give these guys realistic charactars. It doesn't necessarily have to be in items or props.
Plus. Disease everyone can relate to. Family feuds. Trying to protect people you love. People can relate to that. Though it doesn't connect 100% with science fiction's ways of making a good plot, it does help provide a stronger plot. And people can relate to things like that.
