I've got what might amount to a silly question.
I've written a period script that is a true story with fictional main characters. You know, my fictitious creations were plopped down right in the middle of something that really happened.
The story is 100% based on actual events, and is as thoroughly researched as if I had been writing a documentary.
I've written things before that were based on real people and actual events, so I've said something like "inspired by actual events".
But what should I call what I've done this time? Would it be fiction even though the event is factual?
Sheesh... I am clueless here.
Thanks!
PS I seem to have misplaced the word "on" in the thread title. I would fix it if I could figure out how. Sorry about that!
