Pick some historical (or Biblical) event and write a news story about it as though you were a reporter at the event. You can be as biased as you wish to be.

You Are There is a 1947–57 American historical educational television and radio series broadcast over the CBS Radio and CBS Television networks.
The series also featured various key events in American and world history, portrayed in dramatic recreations. Events that were covered included the Battle of Hastings, the execution of Joan of Arc, the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire by Hernán Cortés, and the signing of the U.S. Declaration of Independence.[4] Additionally, CBS News reporters, in modern-day suits, reported on the action and interviewed the protagonists of each of the historical episodes. Each episode began with the characters setting the scene. Cronkite, from his anchor desk in New York City, gave a few words on what was about to happen. An announcer then gave the date and the event, followed by a loud and boldly spoken "You are there!"
At the end of the program, after Cronkite summarized what happened in the preceding event, he reminded viewers, "What sort of day was it? A day like all days, filled with those events that alter and illuminate our times... all things are as they were then, except you were there."
I just checked you can find some of them on YouTube if you search for you are there Walter Cronkite
Good point! Wouldn't want any SOL author to do the same type of story any other author has ever done. No more mysteries - it's been done. No more DoOvers - it's been done. No more COA stories - etc.
I am confident that SOL authors, if they find the idea appealing, could write such stories and that I would enjoy reading them.
I wasn't trying to suggest that no one should write such a story. I was just trying to point out if it's something you're looking for here someplace you might try.
