Not much writing, tbh. I haven't been particularly inspired. Still looking for a beta for my [livejournal.com profile] au_bigbang fic. No one seems interested. I am disappoint. :( I'm not even looking for a canon beta anymore. Just someone to read over it and tell me if it's as terrible as I think it is. D: (Pretty sure it needs some srs revision. And the ending's crap. But I don't know what to change.)

I've researched so many weird things. I can't decide what's the weirdest. So many little pedantic things too, like did they have zips in the UK in 1943? (Yes, they did.) And wrist watches. (Yes to that too.) Things I take for granted but would seem weird if they weren't around back then. So I check. Even if it's a flyby reference that no one's probably going to notice again ever. XD

I've looked up alchemical symbols and the language of flowers before. Prehistoric British tribes. Stonehenge. School systems and house plans. Canal maps. How long it would take to sail up a river. How fast trains could go in 1822. Various other weird things. OH. Titles and peerages. Castles. Homosexuality laws. Midsummer rites. Boy fairies. December holiday traditions. All sorts of weird things. I am a prolific researcher. I spend too much time on Google Earth, just looking up places. 95% of my saved places are fic-related.
