argentum_ls26 – What is the oddest (or funnest) thing you've had to research for a fic?
Not sure. I live in a state of constant research, so it's a fine line about whether I looked something up for a fic or wrote a fic because I'd learned something cool.
Things I've learned about while being a fic writer:
-1920s female jazz singers (bestill my heart, Sophie Tucker.)
-werewolf origin myths
-Southern hemisphere star positions
-swords (duh!)
-high school sports tournament regulations
-regulations for the storage of corpses
-the history of beer
-the medicinal usages of mercury throughout the ages
