And for a discussion topic, how about we talk about research? As usual, the fanfic flamingo has relevant commentary:



[Background — a six piece pie style colour split in three shades of pink. Foreground — the long neck and face of a pink flamingo.

Does your current fic require any research? If so, want to tell us what about? Where do you tend to find research materials for your fic? Is it difficult to pull yourself out of research to get back to writing, or is research your least favorite part? And how do you organize all your research once you've dug it all up?

With the encouragement with my wonderful beta, today I wrote 4000 words on a fic. I hope I can keep the speed.


As for research, I mostly google/Wikipedia things. For my 2 fics, I googled how to overthrow a government, what to treat a 1930's man, stone age culture and Renaissance common life.
