INTERVIEW·WHITE DWARF 373

May You Live in Legendary Times

January 2011·pp. 102–103

THE SHORT VERSION

Graham McNeill and Dan Abnett discuss writing histories whose legendary outcomes are already familiar but whose lived details remain uncertain. McNeill’s Sigmar story grows from one planned book into a trilogy shaped around stages of life, while Abnett describes reverse-engineering the Imperium for Prospero Burns and discovering institutions too young to possess their later traditions. Both find creative freedom in the gaps, balanced by the need for new stories to fit the world readers know.
