Hello everyone!
How has your writing gone today? Did you focus on getting words down, did you do some editing, or brainstorming?
Today's discussion question: What's the funniest thing you've researched for a fic? As an example, since I had some characters doing some traveling, I was wondering when canning was first invented. Apparently, canning as we know it can be traced to Napoleon I looking for a way to transfer a lot of preserved food for his army.
