writethisfanficI will be getting around to replying to comments in the next couple of days. My internet is a bit temperamental today :(
How's today going for everyone?
Discussion topic: doing research.
When it comes to doing research for your fic (or anything else) what do you do? Use google, wikipedia, books, friends, DVDs, other sources.
A couple of examples from my own research today was to find out driving distances from Camborne to Reading and from Camborne to Essex and to also find out about an area in Reading. All were very specific but they're all mentioned in the canon I'm working with.
What would you do if your internet blocked you from accessing websites?
My internet has been a bit awkward today giving me 'bloxx: access denied' messages on some of my searches. I have the options of using my phone internet and when it's open using the local library but I don't always want to be doing my research in those ways.
