i feel like writing WWII show fanfiction is actually my bootcamp for other fandoms. Every time I go write in another fandom, the lack of research I do in comparison is such a relief. When I fall back into my historical fiction narrative, I'm actually reading nonfiction history books and combing through badly managed websites that are probably digitized war records. just the other day i tried to find one specific plane crash in the month of 1942 on an airfield that went defunct due to that one incident. I found it. i tasted victory. The things i do for fandom.

#hbo war #band of brothers #there are also moments of complete utter panic as i realized i sequenced events wrong #just this past hour i spent regretting my choice a year ago to guess when the 506th E Co basic exam was #i guessed about 6 months off #it's not too important but it's important to me #you know what i mean?#like. people probably don't care that i messed up but i care #sighed in relief too after i combed my document for mentions of eagles/101 because the 506th didnt join until Mackall #thank the Lord I didn't take my best guess at that one #idk what are your thoughts at retroactively changing published chapters?#i'd do it for future readers #part of the joy of writing this thing is also discussing moments not included in the show #pillow fights. comments. churchill. false appendectomies. backstories.#i dont know if most of the readers of this fic know these things actually happened #i know my fic is heavily fictionalized bc it's a fic. but #yes they did have pillow fights and malarkey met churchill and sobel got a false appendectomy #anyway this is late night ranting #wrote like 3k+ words today which is more than this entire month #im happy #not writing #meta #SiA
