My SO (sordak) is dealing with a bit of the opposite problem. He was writing an alternate history about Rome, (The Roman View), and, in doing some research to (finally) give some names to the totally made-up characters, found a situation in the time period he was thinking about, which, with a small bit of tweaking, matched his characters and opportunities. This was not the first time he has done such a thing.
Weirdly, that's often the type of luck I have when writing about the ancient world. You come up with something, then discover that, yes, there was such-and-such a person or event. Spoooooky.
Maybe I should have stuck with the original plan and not listened to those pesky dueling archaeologists! Always uncovering new evidence trying to discover the truth. Hmph!
