OOC - Fanfic Meme - Day 26 & 27

[watchmakersylar]

26 – What is the oddest (or funnest) thing you've had to research for a fic?

I am a research junkie. I love digging into every single nook and cranny of a subject. I’m sure most of you think my answer will be about blood splatter or something else to do with murder, but I can get that stuff watching Forensic Files and Investigation Discovery.

The weirdest thing for me was investigating what you have to do to become a Catholic priest, which I did for writing Caleb. I wanted to make sure that I had all those little details in place like the educational requirements, how old he should be at a certain point in his life, and what sort of duties he’d be performing along the way. It was really quite fascinating, and I’ve since used that knowledge other places.

27 – Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?

I can barely sign my name anymore without my hand cramping up. I don’t remember the last time I wrote anything long hand. I carry blank notebooks with me to jot down ideas, but lately I’ve been using my phone for those. Also if I’m someplace where a plotbunny might strike, I usually have my laptop with me. Did you know Starbucks is full of bunnies? Tru fact.

I think it's the caffiene and the sugar. They seem to feed off that.

I'm always amazed at how many of the little buggers can hide under those little tables.
