Date: Wednesday, June 12th, 2019 21:28 (UTC)As for canon review, I do it more or less constantly, just because there's a ton of material for the canons I regularly write--there's pretty much always a Redwall audiobook in my car, though not usually the specific book in the series I'm writing for, and I watch a lot of Transformers cartoons as background noise while I cook or clean.

Date: Thursday, June 13th, 2019 04:59 (UTC)I review canon whenever I forget something or need a specific detail. When it comes to fanfic exchanges, I *always* canon review for Yuletide because I'm usually writing something that I'm not very fresh on - I haven't seen or read it recently. Other exchanges, it really depends on the canon - with X-Men movies, for instance, I can generally write off the top of my head because I remember the events in the three films I write from (I've not seen past X3) with out any trouble. LOTR, it depends on how much the fic will focus on a spot in canon or just fill gaps between footnotes in the appendices (the latter, unless there's a particular genealogical or other detail I need, I don't need to review for, whereas something surrounding a particular scene, I'll re-read that scene closely). Other fandoms it tends to depend on how recently I've seen or read whatever the canon is.
