I thought that was the definition of writing good fanfic? Isn't that the fun part?

[jeriendhal.livejournal.com]

Well, yes but it would probably be better to just write the darned thing.

But research is fuuuuun (been there, trust me)

So long as you eventually get to the writing. :) (Me + Library/Bookstore = Where the heck did the last six hours go?)

[aldersprig.livejournal.com]

Hee, yes.

Plagiarize! Never shade your eyes!
Let no one else's work evade your eyes!

*chortle* It's not plagiarism if you footnote it.
