Discussion: canon review. How often do you review canon?

Taking a break for the moment because I just didn't feel like writing--but I expect that to change in approximately an hour when I get some coffee and cheesecake and settle in at my favorite bookstore.

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.

I sort of wrote and edited both - I had a few paragraphs I'd written before realizing the timeline for that scene was going to be slightly different, and today I wrote 157 words more around those paragraphs and worked them in. It's up to 9.2k now…

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.
