We help the helpless (fanfic writer)

I do canon review on a regular basis, sometimes to get the details correct, other times as a way to get re-inspired for writing if I've been away a lot. One of my fandoms is book-based, so I either go straight to the source or use a couple of very well-done wikis if I need to do research on a specific person or place. My other fandom is anime-based, so canon review is a bit more involved, as well as risky -- once I start rewatching episodes for research, I can't stop!
