It's funny, because writing Beatles fanfic, I find myself trying to make it as real as possible, so I'm doing all this research, when most fans aren't going to care. But I feel like there'll be one who says "Oh, that song wasn't out yet" or "it was this person that did x & y", or whatever. So I'm trying to be accurate as I can with minor details. :-)
I don't really have a soundtrack though - other than, well, The Beatles. ;-)
There's a lot of that I'm going to be getting into. There was a point very early on when I was researching things that would have made Aedan and Madeleine migrate from France to America during the time I wanted them to come over. I researched The Edict of Fontainebleau, which could put them coming over along with the Huguenots (not that I'm trying to make them protestants, they just hitched a ride, really). That also put them over here before the Salem trials (though I decided to make her death unassociated with them). But, I will create a fictitious village for them to settle near since Aedan will completely wipe it off the map in his vengeful rage

So, you are writing a historical fiction of sorts. The kind where people go, "Wait, did that really happen?" I had to write a paper on this kind of writing style in 8th grade. It's very intersting and seems very difficult!
Well, some of the back story could be considered historical fiction. But I don't plan to get too much into that back story in the first three books because there's enough going on that a) it doesn't need it and b) it would slow the plot down. I mean, the dude is 1500 years old. He's covered a LOT of history.
