Ok so I have an assignment where I basically have to write a fanfic based on a historical figure ("personalised historical fiction" 
) and it has to have themes of fate, family and hope
For my historical figure I immediately thought of cleopatra for some reason, but my sister said writing a story about ching shih (Chinese pirate lady) would be very cool. What do y'all think? And are there any other people who you think would be interesting to write about?Sep 6, 2023

You should pick one you feel a connection to! You have such a deep prompt, and it would be really interesting to choose one that is interesting and connects to you. If that makes any sense LMAOOO, one that speaks to you like “YES I need to write about this!”

Sojourner Truth is a pretty interesting lady from what little I've read of her. An African-American Rights Activist and a Women's Rights Activist as well. There's also this one photographer called Claude Cohan; they presented androgynously, said themself they preferred "neutral" to describe their gender. Can't remember if they were a surrealist photographer or not.

•I think both are cool options. I’d do some more research on both ladies and then which everyone sparks an idea first then that’s the one you do.

I think whichever story truly intrigues u the most. Forget which one's more unique or eccentric or epic, I think always writing what u actually feel like writing is the only way to make a good story
