As a firm believer in researching before (and while) writing, I thought it might be really handy to have a spot on the boards where you can ask those questions you need answered for your fic.
One of the most heavily repeated quotes about writing is to "write what you know". While that's often really good advice, there are times where you want to write a bit about something you don't really know a whole lot about. If you do your research well, you should still be able to pull this off.
And here's where your fellow writers can often be your biggest help. If you don't know a lot about a subject, odds are that someone else around here does. Or they can at the very least give you some good pointers on where to find the information you need.
This board is intended for questions not about writing, but about the subjects you're writing about.
Some examples:
Questions about canon characters. (ie. How many PhDs does Dr. Spencer Reid have on Criminal Minds?)
Questions about medical afflictions. (ie. One of my characters has dislocated one of his knees. I've never had that happen, how does it actually feel?)
Also can ask questions about locations (ie. What sort of identifying landmarks are there around Bemidji, Minnesota?) or law (It's legal to drink alcohol at what age in Germany?) or pretty much anything you can come up with.
I can't guarentee that anyone here can answer your questions, but fellow writers can be a great help for researching these questions!
