Discussion: research. Do you research before you start writing? Do you research as and when you need the information?

I usually research as I go as I find things I need to double check for accuracy more than anything. Canon review is pretty much an ongoing thing too because I sometimes misquote a character then end up checking it.

Today has been less stressful than yesterday but I’m still not 100%. I added a little over 600 words to project!ambiton and it’s killing my brain because I’m struggling to read it all and find mistakes just now, can’t pen edit until I can buy new ink too. Sake. I also image searched an actor to find how many tattoos he has and what they are for a fic that I’ve mostly written but need to rewatch the ep it’s a tag for and can’t do much more work on it until the dvds I ordered of this show arrive.

Research is one of my favorite things to do, so I spend a lot of time researching before I start. I also research as I go, especially if something comes up or if I realize I am mis-remembering canon or have forgotten a detail that I need for the story.
