Stuff We Talked About

1. My novel seems to take place in the common era. It seems this way due to the fact that everyone is dressed like we do today and all of the buildings seem like they could exist today and look normal. Most of the novel takes place at night, due to the darkness that seems to always be present. Passing of time is presented by the changing of scenery, not so much by the day changing to night.

2. Well, Ash is kind of upset by the zombies, and I guess by the fact that he would like to rid the world of them he is standing up for what he believes in. Those are good ideals, but I think this is relevant in all eras, not just present day. Although technically Jesus Christ was sort of a zombie and people seemed OK with him two thousand years ago, so I guess by the fact that Ash is not worshipping the evil dead zombies and proposing that they are the son of god, he is acting appropriately for the time period.

3. Honestly, this time period has little effect on the overall plot. In fact, its practically irrelevant. The book takes place in some big city with a bunch of super heroes: Timeless.

4. Real fictional, like I think its supposedly based on something like New York city. It has big buildings and stuff, but I don't think any of them are like real... The author never uses direct references to any specific buildings or streets so its hard to tell, but the setting is definitely not fictional.
