I’m writing a science fiction type short story set in Germany (actually Stuttgart). To some extent the location isn’t that important- it could be set anywhere but setting it there appeals to me and gives the story a unique aspect. As someone who doesn’t know German and have only briefly visited that part of the country, how detrimental would that be when writing about the characters and their thoughts and dialogue? I guess I’ll be writing as an English native and not German - does that matter in the context of the story?
