... fleshed-out back story

Non-PRO English to Portuguese Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Literatura - Ficção
Same themes, but first person narratives, interior monologues, FLESHED-OUT BACK STORY, some characters with whom the reader could identify (and even, presumably, like).
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (2): Cristine Martin, Maria Eugenia Farre

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

história de fundo significativa

Achei boa a definição de Paula para flesh out, mas acho que neste caso "enredo" não é adequado; deste modo seria "plot". Achei a seguinte definição para back story:

back story : events that took place in the life of a character before commencement of a fictional story; background (used metaphorically)

Minhas sugestões seriam:

"história de fundo significativa", ou

"rica história de fundo"

Espero ter ajudado.
