26 – What is the oddest (or funniest) thing you've had to research for a fic?

Embarrassing confession time: I actually do very little research for fic. If it looks like I’ve researched something (like, say, the Soviet stuff in the Reciprocity series), that almost certainly means that I read a bunch about it before the fic was even a glimmer in my eye, and probably I capered with glee when I realized that I could work all that hitherto useless information into a story.

Oh man, that sounds like me the one year I wrote fic for The Fifth Element in Yuletide -- requester wanted fic for Luke Perry's character, so I was like, "HERE HAVE ALL THIS INFO ABOUT TEDDY ROOSEVELT!!"

I mean honestly, I feel like many, many fics would be improved by random info about Teddy Roosevelt. Did you know he had a campaign poster where he was riding a moose?
