How much research do people do for their stories

[Sticks]

When I have been churning out my Mystical Realms stories I like to get things as near as right as possible, and so found my self looking up really obscure things, such as the official adoption procedures in the Republic of Ireland, or how to get from one part of the UK to another along specific roads.

If you ever read some of my output, you may notice I occasionally put in hyperlinks to background information articles.

Am I the only one who spends this much time on research or am I just a really sad individual

:blush::whistle:

I sometime research for "The Resistance" especially with the Illuminati, their logo has been seen in real life

Although its moved onto the fictional company "The Shadow" now, the basics still remain

yes I have noticed that sticks.
Its a good sign shows you care of what point your debating thats always nice to see someone has considered your question.

I always respect people who have carefully considered an oppinion even if they disagree, sometimes more than those who do agree but not really understood why.
And no, your not the only one, just that I hav'nt got the know how on how to post the links :blush2:

It has been a while since you posted and for some reason I missed it. In the interim did you manage to work out how to do links? There was tutorial thread somewhere on that issue

Getting back to my original post (OP)

Do people actually visit the hyperlinks I put in when they are reading my Mystical Realms dribblings ?
