I hate being vague when I write ffic and I hate making shit up. So, it's like, is there a sea, is there a lake? Do they look up and see a mountain? Is it snowing? Is it raining? Is it normal if it's sunny in November!?
These aren't the actual questions I'm having but you get the gist.

Just can't get Chicago to work for your Bob fic? Make stuff up, everyone else does.

Do you need to know something specific about Chicago? I lived in the Chicago burbs till I was 8. Don't remember much, so I probably zero help.

I hate making stuff up. I'm ok with it up to a point, but if it's something that would make a Chicago person go "um, what?" I don't wanna experiment with it :) So far I'm keeping it vague. I mean, it's a tiny story so it's not like they need a proper setting mostly. And I managed to remember that 21 is the drinking age in Illinois and that sitting in a car kissing minors could be an issue, so I think I'm generally covered.
