    What do you owe the real people you base your characters on?

    What real people?

    (I try *very hard* not to base my characters on identifiable people—they're generally a mashup of different peoples' quirks. I have *occasionally* used someone identifiable for about 70-80% of a character—but generally ask permission first. I'll only go to 100% without permission using a model who is either dead or who I despise so violently I'll happily face them in court.)

      @pdcawley Yes you did! And he was a regular drinking friend and local to me. (Past tense, he died in 2020—not from COVID.)

      @cstross Could've sworn I recognised at least one specific ex-CiX reprobate in the Rule 34 novels.

      @cstross Presumably the references to members of the Tory Government in the Laundry books don't count because of the word "People"?

      @hungryjoe I think "… or who I despise so violently that …" covers them.
