Numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 for that ask meme!
1. What is the strangest fact you’ve learned from reading fic?
Oh man, I’m trying to think here... I’m sure there have been plenty of strange things, but for whatever reason all my brain can come up with is this fic I read several years ago set in either the MCU or the Marvel comics universe where the characters had to fight vampires? I think it was Bucky fighting the vampires? I feel like other characters were involved too though? Can’t remember at this point. I had no idea that was even a thing in the comics, but I think I looked it up and sure enough, it was.
2. What is the strangest fact you’ve learned from writing fic?
Probably some weird factoid about how life was like in the Middle Ages? Yup, it’s coming back to me now, I remember finding out about all the creative ways people handled hygiene back then. That’s the winner, hands down.
3. What is the last thing that a fic made you google when you were reading it?
Was reading something that had a few foreign words in it that I didn’t know and weren’t explained but were kind of understandable from context, so I looked them up to see what exactly they meant.
4. What is the last thing that a fic made you google when you were writing it?
What are the proper royal forms of address for a king/queen as well as a prince/princess. And then a whole bunch of stuff about what people wore during the medieval period in England, haha. It was quite the rabbit hole, but I did come out of it feeling a lot more knowledgable!
