Heh. Sadly, no, more like "I think that detail about WWI/the printing business/etc. is too close to true and handled in a way that would therefore upset [relative we care about] to have in a piece of fiction."

And to be clear, my parents have never asked for that kind of right of refusal on my stories, or anything even remotely like it, and I don't expect it'll be a problem in this case. It's just that I have lots and lots of short story ideas and not so many relatives. Well. Lots of relatives. Scads of relatives, actually. But the ones who are important to me are fewer and farther between.
